Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

We are of the opinion that it states_ clearly and concisely the _feeling of uTbe Quiet Corner". - What do you think? r·HERE'S A STORY TO TELL ~ For more than a decade, tile 1aw has made it impos­sible for the management of an industry to tell its story . to the woi·kerS>. And they have heard little more than the version advanced by unio'n leaders, often irresponsible and short~sighted. That · is why uncounted · thousands of wage earners today think they are the ~ctirns of a "slave bill." They have not had a balanced picture. Un<?Ler the new Jaw, management stands on an equal footing ~w·.:ith labor organization o~Ge more. Yet employ­ers in the by and large seem to tlunk the law, merely by its enactment, i$ going to solve their problems, and those of .the country as a whole. This is a dangerous -illusion. . When score$ or hundreds of thousands of men will walk off the j.ob to protest enactment of a bill they haven't read, there is something -wrt>ng. It cannot be ~orrected by idle, wailing. It can be. corrected only. if mana:getn~nt comes forward to tell Its story- the In­spiring St9l:}' of free enterprise and what it has done for . . the American people~ · · . ., . · . . < -Major corporation~· spend very _large sums each year fQ.r advertising their products. Some spend large sum·s - also te tell a more general story,. to establish themselves in a good and fair light with the public. Few, howeve~~, have made any comparable_ effort ttl present to. their · . workers, or to workers gen~rally, the facts essenttal to a semnd employer-employee relationship under free enterprise. . . · . For some years past, managements have had an excuse for their failure to teH their story. The Wagner ~ct forbade them· to "coerce" their employees by presenting a case to them; 'l~hat excuse no. longer is valid. It should be the first order ·of business fo:r: industrial management, .. under the new legislation, u:r prepare and put forward the true pictute 'of their operations. ~often overlooked or · not given as muc~ .attenuon as It shoutd be- that is, · the attitude of the superint-end-ent and foreman, perhaps-those higher up, toward . safety. To develop_ a refl.l lasting interest . in safety @n the pa:rt of workers; those in autllori:t:y must give safety as much attention as production, quality or product, . o.r wast f.>l-everrtiocn.

It is not know:t?. thatthe 'take-horne pay of .a railroad president -:- after taxes ~"--is likely to be only one-third of hi nomi- ., nal pay. Nor is it generally realized that many labor union executive·$ enjoy sahn~ies quit comparable witb tho.se -of the heads of corporations. .. and maintain r-eal safety interest.

And now this spring it be­came a "must" job, dU,e to the fact that the sheep had repeatedly broken through the flimsy barbed-w i r e fence in back and cut counties · ugly holes in the . yard with their small, sharp hooves.

In each case, the sample is diluted with sterile dis~ tilled water and added to a quantity of nutrient agar which allows- the bacteria to grow. This. jelly-like mass, called a "culture," is. sealed in a glass container and left in the incubator for 4·8 hours at 37 de,grees Centigrade. At the end of that tiJne, each bacteria in the original sa1nple will have grown into a "colony.'' The col()nies may then be counted to determine the quantity of bac­teria pre ent. Under Champjon tandardsJ the tests ntust show less than 250 bacteria per gram. · ~CHACO DIRECTORS ENJOY STEAK FRY . -.

The only way to keep them from being hazardou i to make sure to keep out of them. On almost all flights of any appreciable distance during the summer months, the "keeping clear" requires flying off course; dodging up and dmt\ n and sometimes turning back, all of which is very annoying. Of course, in winte1· we have ice to ·worry about. However it is not common practice to deliberately fly irrto known icing conditions, and with de-icing equipment to take care 0£ those. in-stances which cannot be ·foreseen, ice is not considered a serious hazard. • SAFETY IN FLYING For the benefit of those who are passengers on the Champion plane, and members of their families, some of whom undoubtedly consider plane travel exceedingly dangerous, a few lines in favor of our department may be comforting-or, at least, in order. Unlike scheduled airlines, there is never any pres­ure to make or continue a flight if weather is reported which might be con idered dangerous, Tegardless of who is traveliino· or how i1nportant the trip may be. Our plane is maintained in every way possible to the highest degree :-vith continued safety uppermo t in mind. Our personn~l js believed capable of u ing sound judgment wh ·n J.lanning [light or in a of emergcn· cies.

It ·eem that Pete and his son; Paul, took a trip to the Brickyard for thejr fa­vorite pastime. Paul was casting far out into the lakt and on one cast the reel back lashed, napped the line and lost the hook, bait, sinker, and a hirt button whi had been tied on for some rea on. About an hour later Pete hooked into a big one, played it awhile and landed it. During the process of extracting the hook from tht: fish Pete discovered more line in it. This turned out t be the equipment Paul had lost, bait, button and hook all intact. There was nothing lost. according to Bob, Paul took the arne bait and landed a nice one on it.
