  • 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.

Most solemn and touching is the peal ol the bell · which ring out the old and ring in th New Year. 1 ne,·er h ar them without a f ling of sadn ·s, be ause I realiz that I did not mak the be t of the many oppor­tuniti that came my wa during th preceeding car, and wontler hm' well I ·will meet the situa tions in the fuwre. Today, ·we aTe facing a New Year with 366 n w days filled with great po ibilities; what we do with them will depend altogether upon our attitude. n we greet the N _w Y ar by merely throwing the old cal ndar in the waste ba· ket, and hanging up a new one, 1948 may be a . ·ear of disappointment rather than good fortune . Some people comend they do not believe in New Year resolutions, becau e the are soon broken. Perhap · . o, but you do make resolutions at other times, and do you alwa s keep them? I suspect there are more resolu­tions made and not lived up to at other times during the year, than there are broken vows made on New Year's Day. Good re olutions are always timely. No man or wom­an ever accomplished an rthing worthwhile without a determined effort. The old adage, "If a t first you don't succeed, try, try, again" is good advice. Many people are pessimistic about the future. The • ew Year, they ay, has a gloomy outlook;-so many things in which they trusted in the past have failed them; -even the religion of Christ, they chargeJ has failed to bring peace and good will among men. Since we are not allowed to have tbe happiness and peace on earth w desire, may we find more la ting peace a,nd happiness rn the service whjch ' e can render to our fellow n1an and to our countr,. What the New Year will bring us, we know not· but that is not so important.-The important thing is, ~ ... ·e mu t not lose faith in God and our fellow man. Others are de ponclent about our cou ntry. They ~ay, democracy will soon b a thing o£ the past-our i ilization is destined to change, etc. Why live in dread of the dis olution of [re governmetH upon t.he earth , for ·'government of the people, for the people, and by the people" is not going to pass away soon. To make t.hi a happy New Year, to mak this old vorld a b ~ ttcr place in which to live, th re mtiSt be a firm resolution on the part of u . ali lO abi.de by the Golden Rule, " 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you. do yc even so to th m." B fore the \Vorld '\Var, there cxi ted in Germany a very beautiful ustom;-on the {jr t day of th New Year, whatever may have b n the quarr l or emtrang m nt~ b ~ tween friends and relaLions, mutual visits wcr inter· chang d , kindly greetings given and re eiv d - all for~ol· ten and forgiven.-A beautiful wa to 1 egin the N ·w Year. .Ju~t two issues back, Homton Di vi'>ion columnistS m Elli began hi) popular "Down the Tracks." chronicl ing rh activities of Champions on the "back side" of the mill- a s ction of the plant that am knows well, hav­ing direct d the pror;r ss of the Turpentine and Tros­tol Department since 1937 A t h i r d gcn ' ra tion Ch:unpion, Sam was born in Nashvill , Tennessee. h u t moved to Canton farth er back than he can remember, when his father, Tobe Elli ~. joined our company. His grandfathfr, John Whitstin e. a. real Old­timer, has worked at the Canton Division since the time of its construction. Sam began bis journal­istic career while he was still in knee pants, delivering the A h eville Citizen-Times to Canton su bscribers. After completing \1\Teavcrvi lle High School, v\Teaverville, Nonh Carolina, he attended ""\1\Teaver Juniot College for two years, then took up a pre-medical course, specializing in chernistry, at the College of Charleston , Charleston, South Carolina. His schooling was interrupted by a ,eries of sinus operations, however, and in 1935 he started to work in the transfer pool of the Canton Divi- • SIOH. His first operating job- and the one he has held ever since- was in the Trosrol Department, wh~re he -found a real use for his training in chemistry. Sam resumed his newspaper activitjes at about the same time he joined Champion, filling his spare time as a special correspondent for bis o ld paper, the Citizen­Times. Together with Canton Division LOG editor Jimmy Dea ton, Sam helped to cover events in the Canton area- Jimmy handling the news of the town, and Sam filling in ·with a column, feature stories and " local color" about the ou tlyi ng districts. Early in 1937 Sam was sent to Texas in a technical capacity for a ''sh ort stay" - a sta which, quite agreeab1 · for him, has alr · ady stre tched into more than 10 yea r . On his fir st vacation fn m th Hou, ton Divi ion, Sam beaded straight for North Car lin , but with more on his mind than just a visit with the h mcfolk ·-when he rctu ned to the Lone Star State he brought with him a bride, his boyhood w 'Ctheart, E liLh Davi. of Chand! r, Nonh Carolina.

It may determine the eHect of season. , weather conditions and other factors on wood stored in various ways; thus, it will tell us · how to reduct: decay in logs which. must be kept in the woodyard over a long period of time. Typical log were taken frona wood cut in January, .\pril, July and Octoe, r. They. were marked 'and stored. Some ,.Vere rorecl with the bark o n, others were peeled; ~rrte were dipped in va:dou t , pes of chemical pn3serva­tives, while others were sprayed on the ends only.
