  • 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.

Howard Jackson and Tom Butler started the organization of the group several month ago and a program of semi-monthly dances at Hillcrest was planned. Howard and MadeliHe Jackson and Tom and Betty Butler are unusually active in the square dancing events. They have done a fine job in creating the opportunity foe all Champions who are inter,e ted in this activity to enjoy square dancing. Andy Kleitsch, wb:o is a well. known caller and in tru tor in this area, does the work at the ~ 'mike'' for the group.

It may have been our imagination, bttt it seemed that every­wh ere employment n1en and then· secretaries were cold, impersonal, almost hostile. ~y chance we strayed into the lobby of a certain busmess concern. At once the receptionist came forward and greeted us as though we were a jobber bringing her ompan.y a huge order to be filled. When she discovered that we were just another " guy'' looking for vvork, the warmth of her smile never receded. In fact, the young lady was so gracious that she actuaHy gave us tbe impression that her concern felt honored that we had chosen to seek work at its door. ?£ course, we got no job that day, for there were no JObs to be had.

The nets similar to the ones John makes, are used by fishermen to ob­tain bait. They are generally thrown out in shallow water along the shores and banks and yield minnows and shrimps. They may be used in either salt water or fresh water. Although he makes the nets for his own use only, he is certain that the product ·would satisfy any fisherman. Something New at Champion By A. W.
