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.

Hazelwood A. C. and the Lio11 Tame1·s, r epr es . nting th, "Y" last Saturday, on the Hazelwood g r-vunds. It was one of the m st specaticular games of baseball that the writ er ever witnessed . Close decisions were the popular thing Excibment was at its highest when the score stood, at the end of the ninth inning 4 to 4. Every player wa on his toes, especi2.Hy the fans, and if there is anything in t },e old saying that "The crowds surged toward the base Jines and insisted that the home team must win the game,'; Hazelwood should have tucked this gamP away. But they reckon.ed not with the Lion Tamers, for they livecl up to their name and did a neat job of it. The game began just after a shower and the grounds ·were not in the best condition, o-wing to this fa~t; but as the ga:r,ne pro­gressed, t he interest of the fans incre<tsed and gradually grew in intensity until the ninth inning when t.he score was tied. From then on to the eleventh inning it was ni_p and tuck for supremacy. The Lion Tamers overcame a three run l2ad and fought -like old-timers; nev'e r for a. minute did the.v give up hope. , Mont~ Stamey, former ¥lake Forest star, pitched what the. writer would call "the game of his life." Several times he wiggled out of tight pla·ces by moving the batters down in one, two, three order, and to him goes a lot of credit for winning the game. And again, the tearn as a wh ole must be conRidered, for to a man they toed th2 mark and delivered when delivering meant success. A word about the Hazelwood team, the writer considers it a pleasure to be on friendly terms with a team of such sterling qualities as the Hazelwood boys. They are gentlemen to the core, every last one of them., and it is a grPat pleasure to cross bats with them. Let it be known, that the Tamers did not carry off all the hnnors for the game, for the Hl'l.ze lwood boys play·ed bril­liant ball throughout the game. Mgr. Yondell is to be congratulat­ed . upon building up an organization of ball players who fight to the last ditch and who never recognize rJ.efeat. The same can be said of Lige Morgan, Mgr. of the Tamers, who never gav up hope and who with the boysoack of him fought every foot of the way.

Due to the length, ha.pe, we.ight and the location in which they are placed, made the installation very difficult an~ hazardous. However, we are glad to report that these digesters were installed without even a mi>nor accident. We have notic3d that an ,injury 'rarely ever occur when a very. difficult and hazardous job is done, and that ome of our most serious accidents occur on jobs where there seems to be the I ast hazard. The r::!ason no doubt is when a difficult job i to be d n , ade~ quate preparations are made and thorough detailed ln$truetion aFe given, so that each 1:nan knows what t(\ do and fully realiz; s the hazard of the job, and the importanc o:f ach man on the job, gi - ing safety his fi·rst consideration. Again, when a job i bejng done. which does not carry with it a g:reat deal of haz·u·d, instructions a to the f m thod to pur ue are perhaps not given, or not forcibl irr..pr · ed upon the mind f the workmen, consequently, he thinks that th danger of an injury occurring is v r . rsmote, and hi mind i occupied ith oth.el" things rather than that of saf ty.

Twenty-four hours per day is all that a ny man may have ·no more and no le s. Time is equally djstributed t o all mankind so that the most socialistic person can find no fault with hi or her share. It is the use which is made with one's share of Time t hat ulti­mately and inevitably makes a disproportionate divi ·ion of its fruits. For Time is money, and it is nniversal' currency. That portion of a man's incornt:! not required for his su tenance and comfort--in otbc words his .savings-})ecomes availabl for i.n­ve tment and cons.titut3s what i: commvnly ·all d apital. In like manner that portion of a man'fj time not occupi 11 by his daily toil is called leisure. Leisure is that surplus of Time which is available for investmem ...: d constitut s Capital. A sound in­vestment of surplus Time bi<ng~ probably larger r~turns th n any other form of investment, and has mad- many fortunes. Leisu · may be spent in idl ness which is one form of wast . eiaurc may be sp~mt in recreational pastime which in h allh pr ducing and is a form of conservation of physical J.eSOlltces which is invaluabl . Leisure may be ~per..t in labor for family sustenanc or llou b ld economy, thereb~; reducing t he cost o li ving. Leisur may b spent in gaining knowl uge f o:m b<Joks l1\•hi ·h i a for! of educa­tion which elevates the mind to • higher plane and la s the found­ation for a useful life.

' I TEREST BEGETS I TEREST - We Have to Give It to Get It. One of the best ways t0 get our workers to tau an interest in the things that interest us, is to take an inte-rest in the things that interest them. To take· a genuine interest in what interests those under you is to get a new point of view. Dean Briggs of Harvard, once said in a commencement address that: "One 0£ the best gifts a aol­lege can bestow is to give a new point 0£ view thru putting our­selves in anot her's place," But why gc to college four years to see things from the other fellow's point of view when you can get the view in four minutes out in your department? Some foremen in some· plants go so fz.r as to keep a card index of the personal a ffairs of each man in their department ~o that they don't get mixed up.

' -r--- - (Special Contributio11) Recently there ha a.p ea.red co11Si cl ·abl . publicity in support of th: propo al to s t a.sid a Ia.rg ar a of abo :tt 011 tbousr nd squ.are nnles as a N a.tionmJ Parl· in the Gr t Smoky Mount ins, whi h comp1·1ses a large se tion of Ea tern Tenn ssce and Western North Carolina. This question is one '\vhich hould r c ive very rie>us eon idera­tion before any action is taken which w uld et jn rnoti n. the ma­chinery for the creation of a National Park. It cannot be too strongly mpha!';i?.ed that there is a great differ· ence between a National Park and a National Forest although fre· ~uently the two foJ:·ms of Government land administration are confused. National Part.:s such as Yellowstone and the Yosemite Valley were acquired by the Nation before these sections of the country were populated or developed in any way and consequently involved no purchase of land. On the other hand the section of the Great Sp1oky Mountains which it i proposed to locate a National Park h as been settled by a mouBtain popula tion for many years and a great many wood consuming industries are depending for their raw matel'ial on. this section. This land is privately owned and would necessitate the raising of a considerable sum of money to purchase the lands within the proposed Park and this purchase money will havt tb be raised privately by c1tizens or by State tax­a t ion and the lands so .purchased donated to the Federal Govern­ment free of all encumbrances. The communities which are at present settled within the area of the proposed National Park would be obliged to move elsewhere as they could not be permitted to remain under the regulations governing the ~dministration of National Parks by the U. S. De­partment of the Interior. No industries of any kind, including farming, may be carried on within a. National Park and no trees may be cut for any purpose whatsoever. , ' . The whole purpose of a National Park may be stated to aim at restoring_ the a1·ea to its original primitive state for the preserva­tion of its natural beauty and wild life, so that it partakes of the nature of a museun·t. On the other hand a National Forest like Pisgah Forest, is ad­ministered by the Department of Agriculture on sound principles of conservation, as distinct from preservation., and the policy is to contribute to the well being of the people both from an industrial and recreational standpoint, by permitting t he orderly removal of all ripe timber and forest products but at the same time preserving the natural beauties of the landscape and offertng every oppor­tunity to the nature lover to enjoy natural beauties and wild life to the same extent as is permitted in a National Park. Whereas the Government makes no provision for the purchase of land for Natio.nal Parks . Congress has authorized the n.Qc.essary appropriation for the pun:ha ·e of land for National Forests and while there is no revenue of any kind from a National Park the proceeds from the sale of fmst products from a National For t contribute substantial ums for the r lief of Federal and Local taxation. Under the administration of a National Fores t th wood con­suming industries such as the tannic acid plants, tanneri ~s. saw mills, furniture fa tories, pulp plants and num .rous oth 1·s, may continue to operate, but to all · cat a larg souTee of th ir raw material for a National Park would cau e the e industl'i s o sus· pend operation entirely, and the financial loss in conseq1.1ence t the neighboring communities and citi. s would b tremend us-. From the standpoint of th tourist a Nati nal . r t in th Smoky Mountains is just a s attra ctiv as a Nation l Pafk, a 11 r recreational advantage that a. Park an off r j ~ also offer d by c.

THE WAY UP Th onclusions of n InveFl ti gation to Determine Hew the Me.n at the Head of Things in Thi Generation Have Mad Them lve'S Su ce ·sfu). • By WlLLIAM H. RIDGWAY. Pres.ident, The raig Ridgway & Son Co.; Coate-sville, Pa. The Paper Mill believes that it is giving i.ts readers a r eal treat in re}'Jrinting from the May number of "The Tech En~ gineering News," of the Massachusetts Institute of Techn­ology, this article written by the man who writes the famous "Ole :S:ook 'er to the Eiler" ads. The humor, horse sense and homely Christianity, which Mr. Ridgeway injects into his "copy" has given his advertisements the distinction of being eagerly looked for and read by the subscribers of all publica­tions in which his advertisements appeal'. In this article Mr. Ridgeway has a message of value to all of us.-Editor. When a man has decided to go to college and acquire an edu­cation- ofttime"s at the cost of great sacrifices and self-denial-he does so in order that he may make a place in the sun, cl', as is said in every day parlan<;-e, "in order that he may get on." This magazine has asked me if I would tell through the printed page j1z1.st how a young man with his life before him should go about it to make good. This is an attempt to do so. This article is an exhibit and not a presentation of an argument . That is t0 say, it is a statement of facts. The thiags stated are either so or they are not so. If they are so thel'e i only one con­clusion to be drawn, and he who runs :may read. During the war, the ·writer offered his services to the Govern­ment, along ·with other good citizens. He was too old to sleep in the mud and figh:t cooties, so the GoveTnment u . ed him in the mil­itary camps and navy yards to talk to the boys gathered there from all over the country .. At the League Island Navy Ya:rd, where we gathered a great company of young men, mostly from the Middle West where they never saw any a_lt ater · "Omething like this was said: "When you fellows get out on that big man-of- ·ar lyino- there at the dock, it will make n0 di:ffe1·ence ' h re yoa are e1cupJoyed, whether handling ash d wn in the h ld, r up in the engine room oiling the bearings and wipin.g up the bra es, or a job n the deck with the guns, k ping th m i.n order or a b tter job y t in th galley with th C00k, 01' a till nigher j b up in the hart room with the offi er , u kno' and I know and e • ry ne l\l'l n know ~, rou will nev . r g t an · wher o f r a advan em nt i ~ co ne rned, .and you ·will not ha e a pa.rti ul~rl ' comfo rtable time on thi ruise, unl ~ y u st nd in " it.h th ptain.'

Up to the present tj n1(~ I h av~ not found a s ingle large c-oncern with a profane, godless purchasing agent. I know of one large · con cet,n, the very largest in its particular line, whose owner made the boast that he bad everything in his cel1ar fit for a man to drink. "When he carne to select a purchasing agent he selected a Baptist deacon. I asked him why he did not select one of his o~'tl kind. He said, "That would not be good business." Do you get it? Son1e tiu1e ago a pl·ofessor of the Bryn Ma\.vr Won1an's College broke into the ne.. w spaper with the s tatement that 80 per cent of the scienti fie men of the counti·y did not belive in the immort ality of the soul. That is a highbrow way of saying "have no religion." I asked the president of t he Uni vers ity of P ennsylvania, himself a great scientific man, Dr. Edgar Fabs Smith, " Is this true? " He re­plied, "The statement is ridiculous, and pay no a tt ention to · it." Just for instan ce, the greatest doctors in this land are Ch r istian n1en, the 1\r!ayos of Rochester, Minn., and Dr. Kelley of Ba lt imore. These are t he g;rea test o~ doctor~ , to vvhon1 other doctors them­selves go when something goes 'vrong with them. I "vrote to the editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, in which t he statement appeared) stating t hat vvl1ethe1· t he clain1 of the Bryn Mawr prof essor was true O!' n ot , I vvould like to call the Ledger's attention to the f act t hat r jght a longside of the Bryn Ma\1-r \Vom­an's College 'vas t he Bryn 1Y1::rwr Presbyterian Church.

In the above picture ·he was cau ght by the camera-man with several pieces of per­fectly good second-hand parts for cars in his hands. · · He is a great believer in wast2 pTeven­tion. Irtstead of providing his crew with supplies from the storeroom he is often seen carrying material from ·the salvage yards. Some of this material is pretty n2arly as go-od as new, and should be used by men in all depadments, so far as practicable, when making repairs. George we like your spirit, we w ish that every repair man on th:= job would do like· • WISe. The Jnonthly co ~ t of material can be re· duced considerably by using good second · hand parts, bolts, nuts, lumber, pipe fitt­jngs, etc. Remember the old song _ ''Everybody's Doing It," or soon will be; fall in lir1e, and you will be able to smile like George when you are caught witb the g ods. • • 1he other day a gold watcl1 was found . i.n the Main Office bear.ing the initials "J.

R b- rts has demonstrat-ed his abih ­ty in many way , but has r eently attain d fame in a new line of effort: A f::lw days ago he went to Coal Creek where he dis­covered a fto.ck of n'lin mules which had heel). feeding and fattenin.g at Company ex­pense s ince the mines w r electrifi d. Jodie Burnett was engaged t--o bring th m to the pulp plant at Canton, wher they wer advertised f or sale ~t barga.in pric e.

"l have ridd n them," said he, "With a halter," But t he s~bs~­quent b havior of the mules did not -prove it. It is a hard job, so say those who bought the mules, to break them in for farm work after they have spent 20 or 30 summen and winters under ground. But Roberts sold them. The mules now have been adopted by different members of the Champion family and we don't see where they have any more "kick coming." Y. M. C.

When Charlie lifted th3 hat, it seemed heavy and you can imagine hi'S astonishment when he found that the hat was securely in place on Mr. Hays' head. · It was a lucky escape.
