  • 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.

Each year the extentio which the Plan witl be continued will be announced. A HEAD OF us in 1958 is an uncertain market, an urgent need to improve productivity and tough compe­ti tion. Om .basic policy is to run as f ull as we possibly can. But to put a Jirm foundation un ler all theS'e condi­tions tor Champion peop le. the new Champion Employ­ment Security Plan h as been developed for the calend.ar yea.T 1958. The accompan . ing slid (above) hows on'ly the high­lights of the new p lan; the details are explained in the sp cia I booklet which has been mailed to each employee's ho1l'le. I hope you will read this booklet and let us know what you th:in.k of the plan . Thi.s plan does not ch ange in aoy way our goal of wot]dng 52 weeks a year. Its purpo .e is to make it possible for ali e!J'gible Champions and their families to know at the beginning of the year what they can count on in the year ahead. It ca n be another major step in keeping Champion the kind of place we all want it to be. A Process of Working Together . .. The cbaUenge ahead demands the best from e ery one of us. \ 1\Te all need to heJp.
