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.

As remarked by Mrs. Pfasterer, Home 1M'atron, at the close of the day, "The children will talk about this grand affair for weeks to come." THE CHAMPION VETERANS' CLUB staged its Second Annual Kiddie · Party for the Butler County Children's Home little folks, at Camp Chapaco, on a Sunday afternoon in late September. More than 90 gleeful youngsters took part. from 1:30 until late evening. Chartered motor coache took the kiddies from the Home out to Chapaco, vhcre game and other form of amusement were held, featured by a Treas­ure Hunt, in which the youthful participants founrl marked candy bars to become recipients of flashlights, kniye , cap pistols and other such prizes. The alwa, approved Pony Rides were among the day's most supported at-tracti• on . Representing the Vets' organization, Roy Kelley, Instrument Shop, hea-:led the grand affair working with Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Plasterer, Super­intendent and Matron at the Home, 425 South "D" Street. A group of House Mothers was also with the children in their afternoon of play. Among those active in promoting the Party in the Vets' behalf were, Burt 'Wint rhalter, Joe Aurarclen, Tom Adelsperger and Mr. and Mrs. George Henning.

Of ~o u rse, in their friendly nvalry about the output of thetr work they had no scruples about " borrowing" from th o ther fellow if he was not _looking. Well, :-me dar Sam's supply of nails was getnng low, and b mg anxwus to keep the sligh t margin he had on the other fellows, he looked around for a likely victim with plenty o( nails. H e noticed two na.il kegs under Ha:ry ~he l~ey' s b ~ nch, and seeing ·~arry walk toward the drmkmg fountam, Sam helped h1mse1f to one of the kegs. Now Harry Shelley, who .ho1ds th distinction of having operated the first Trimmer that came to. Champion, was also very orderly and safety nunded and kept _two nail kegs under his bench t one keg With .good nails and the other keg to receive dis­carded na1ls. It so happened that Sam in his hurry to ge.t Han-y's. nails befo~e he returned, carried off the keg with t~1e discarded naris. Sam reached in the keg, came out wnh a handful of nails and star ted swin ging his hammer. The first nail Sam tr ied was no lgood o he dropped it in the container he had under his ben<:h for such nails. The second nail was no better.

You can talk of Russian Caviar, the Smorg­asbord of the Swedes, or French cuisine, but there is nothing between heaven and earth, gastronomically speaking," to equal fresh pan fish, cooked at the scene of action. ·This i a t reat fit for the gods, and anyone wh:o has ever experienced it always comes back for more. Homer McQueen of No. 5 Paper Machine 'is a firm believer in this, and can prove it as witness of the stting of smau mouth bass whi.ch he a:nd his party took in one eve·­ning's angling during his summer vacation in Canada. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Homer McQueen, Dr. and Mrs. S. W. Stout and sons, Jimmie and Sonny; Mrs. ln-na J. Bogart, and Mr. and Mrs. Kay Strong.
