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.

A normal­ly calm operation erupts with a feverish bursL_ of activity, and although their objective is quite different, the mechanics appear as de­termined as the hornets in accomplishing .that objective - to get t:he job done. There the similarity ends. The first big difference is the great amount of planning and preparation that goes into the shut down job. . . Everyone in tl1e Pulp Mill and Mechanical Department helps to plan a shut clown. Some of the planning is done months ahead of time. Operators, mechanics and supervisors report prospective shut down repairs and alterations as th y find them. Sorne qf the jobs are routine "d an up" work that cau only be done when the machinery is stoppecl.. Inspecti on reports -----:T • --· --~ I e · add to the total. The accumulated list~ oi shut down jobs add up to dozen - of pages of typewritte:n. data. These lists serve as work sheet for the repair crews. Jobs are evaluated as to the size and type of crews needed to accompli h the work in the se:heduled period. J 'irst things come fir'st and crews are a igned to jobs in a manner planned to keep them out of each other's way. Needed materials are ordered . Some heavy materials are placed at the ite where they will be used when shut down begin s. Then cOJnes the big race again~ t time. The Pulp Mill must be back in operation a soon as possible. It means long- hours for o·tll , unfamiliar work for oth r , and team-\v-ork b every<me if the job is to be fio ish d on ·cbed­uJe. Then it is "back to normal" again as production Ol'lce more get under '"'a '.

'The milJer, too, liad taxes to pay - taxes on his personal property, on his real e tate, as well a a ll the taxes that we11t in to the making of his milling tnacbinety and his flour sacks.

Taxes Too "The baker, too, paid taxe - the hidden taxes in the yeast and other ingredients that go into his bread, the hidden taxes in his oven. wrapping machinery and other equipment. Furthermm·e, he pa ~d taxes on his property, unemployment· compensation and social-security taxes on the wages he paid his employee, as well as his incom.e taxes and other business taxes. "'>\'hen the bread reached the shelf ol the grocery store, de retailer's markup include(.t still rnore taxes- those that the retailer had to pay. So that there are literally hundil!eds of taxe which find their way into the price of the loaf of bread which Henry' wife u ed for his toast, and uldmately the price H enry pays for fhe bread includes a large share of all the e tax-es.

He u ed four feet to scratch fleas. I had to ta11er to two-. about ~u t my throat with the I! ails ~ n my big to_~s . He fought w1th lus teeth1 and so d1d I.
