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.

In our opinion, you're mis ing ome of the good things in life if you overlook what we call the "Personal Section." For the most part, our correspondent are not trained writers, but some of the best humor and son1e of the newsiest i terns are to be found in their column . By rcadjng this n ews from all divisions, you are most likely to sense the underlying spirit of Champion and its workers, for th se writers represent the company'" "grass roots." And as for the quality of their r epor ting, we've read a lot of U. S. company magazines, and we'll put our correspondents up against any of 'em. * * * * Often, in addition to their regular column , our correspondents will turn in a full· cale feature story. A case in point is Fred Dayton's " ~ o. 12 Gets Rolling," pages 14-15. Credit for an as ist goes to Canton Division Editor Jim Deaton who provided the photos. Another contributor this month is Ed Knapp, as ·istant director of General Research, whose highly r ead able story, "Good Names," appears on pages 2·4. * For current "home town" items, we of.f er H amil ton 's. "Luncheon with Stella," page 5; Canton's "Boys Have Their Day," pages 10-11; and Houston's "Joe 1\iethuselah Jones," page 12. -·------------------~----------------------~------------------------------ The Champion ·Paper and Fibre Company General Offices HAMILTON, OHIO Mills of HAMILTON, OHIO HOUSTON, TEXAS CANTON, NORTH CAROLINA SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA Editor, STEWART JONES Editorial Advisors, R.

It wa. in that spirit that the Veterans Adlninistration , as aeated. ] ''he Veterans Admi11i tratio11. is doing its utmo~t.

The Ho.OVl:tt · Commis~ ion, as you probably know, was · , b'ip::u:ti ·an in its Ittakeup.'

Moreover, the Vete1·ans Administration program con~ Jlius with the Gove.rnLUent's policy, under the Ilill­l~ urtan Act, of aiding non.£edera i hospitals in order to establish a sound hospital system for the whole ountry. Hs hospitals wiil compete with such institutit ns for scarce per 9nnel. · ·An this is the result of a lack of any overall plan for hospital constrliction, the Commission found, ;and stated: . "The Government js moving into uncaku~ J.ated obligatiO!JS without an understanding of their ultin1ate cost, the ·lack of profes-sional man-power to discharge them, or the . adverse. effect upon the hospital system of rhe country." vn.e Commission referred to tlle fact· that 100,000 Veterans . I-Iospital _beds· are being occupied by veterans with no'n-service connected disabilities. The report doe n:ot comment upon. the pvoprie:ty of this, but it scores the ·method by which it is being accomplished. C<::mg1-ess · auch~~rized the agency to hospitalize such cases only when beds wer:e "available." Yet 100,000 beds have been huilt 0r autho1~ized for no other purpose than to mak€ room · for· such cases; The c0nclusion of the Comini sion was that such cases could be more cheaply cared for in non­federal hospital on a reimbursable basis. · Aware of the need for economy in this field, President Truman ordet·ed cancellation of 2 )0 millions for un~ necessar_y hospital constructions last ·ear but Congress · ·overntled hin11 and restored this urn to the budO'et.

In February.i 1932, .No. 12 Machine, known then a "B" Machtne, . one o£ the largest white paper makers in the .:world, went inw active ..p roduction. She hummed along nicely through 17 ) ar of operat10n. As customers began to demand superior grades of paper, size presses were installed on No. 14, then 6n No. 13 1\1achine. In January, 1947, No. 11 Machine was installed, complete with size press facilities. Not to be outdone, old No. 12 put in its bid (or a "face lifting." She went down at 7 a.m. on February J ~3 for" the installation_ of a size press. (A size press, in identaUy, is a pair of rolls u d to appl ' si-ze to the sh eet of paper as it pass .-s through the machine.)

So it is with "Port Champio_n." Can it a dock, a most Houston Cham­pions do, or a port; it still handles a heap of freight. The ~vord "port" seems somewhat more appropriate when you consid r the numbe1· of tons, bales, and yards of various material. that come into and go out of <;:hampion's Houston Division by way of thjs channel gateway. The quaiJtity handled weekly or monthly varies greatly according ito availability, demand and other factors. If you checked the barges loading and unloading during any one month you would probably ee: barge taking on 500 tons of sanitary con tainer sLock for American Can Con:t­pany and another 500 tons of Life magazine paper to be unloaded a t Chicago. Shipments of Life paper for the past year totaled 30 barges­approxinJately 32,700 tons, or enough paper to make a full carg-o to fi11 four of the ocean goi ng freighters that pa .s Champion daily. You might see a a] t barge come in carrying 900 to l ,000 ton .
