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. Some pages are cut off on the sides in this issue.

The Champion Welfare Department for a long time has realized that one of the things most rieerled in ·Canton is profitable employment for the girls and women of the (!Omm:unity. We have been ad­vised that if there are fifty ap­plications filed , there . will qe . work for that ntnnber provided at once, and if there are a hun­dJied applicants, endugh addi tion­al machinery wilt be shiJ?ped to pxovidtl ~<Jrk for that number of operatives.

There is a right name for everything in the store room and that is the name the manufacture~r calls it by. That is the name they eaJI it by in the store room and if everybody who writes reqlfi· sitions will take the time to get the comolete and correct name of the thing wanted it will work out to everybody's good. Of course you may get what you want 'by hunting for it in the storeroom but that is an un­necessary waste of time if you know what is wanted.
