  • 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.

In my judgment. any person who is manifestly interested in the welfare of his company in better production and mor e efficiency, wiU at. t he same tim~ be interested in lhe p1·otedion of his f ellow man from per sona l injury, and the p lant from fi,.c <.Ianger. Here are a .few of the things which in the writer's judgment constitute fire hazard: Du·ty, dusty bearings. Inflammable material plac2d on Ol' too near Rteam pipes ( un­covered). Oil·soaked wood floors. Stjcking greasy waste, loose paper and g reasy clothing behind tool boxes, loC'ke1·s, in pigi on holes , behind and on fan heaters and motors. To have and k2ep a clean plant rnay seem a big undertaking, but when once put into pl'actice in the s pirit of co-operation and good fellowship, il would be easy. The writer does here and now, with the kindly s pirit of co.oper. ation uppermost, appoint each and every employee on the job a committee of one, to see that his r oom or depar tment is kept clean and so !ar as possible free from fire hazards. The quickest and surest way to avoid b2ing continually pestered with the in~pector1 is to ke€p your de1)artment so clean and free from fire ha:~ards that he will have no occasion to crii:jcize you or vour room. ~ All of these things depend to a vet·y large measure on room :Core. men.

As long as we have the spirit to foregather wbe're th-e f a ­thers fought for fr~edom there is no need to worry OV<lr the future of our civiliza­tion. \'hethe1· it is y()ur country or my country, every heart beats faster in re­spon e to ta lees of sacrifices made to pe.vpe­tuate liberty. ~ It may seem a far cry from a Revolu-tionary battle to the c:a1·e of the heart and brain, but reall~" it isn't. If you had no other reason for reading the stirring t·ec­ords of history than to stimulate y0u1' heart and brain, that would be su ffic ient reason. You cannot be v.rell and vigor ous unless you can take a lively interest in sorne­thing. You are . not sane or physica ll~ S()Und if you are perpetually blue. I once had a friend, a brilliant man, interested in everything worth while. He telephoned me one day saying h2 wan ted Ltl see me, I went to his room, finding h im dull, listless, helpless1 hopel e~s. H~ had lost his hold 011 life. I appealed to all his past in terest. They m~ant nothing to him. No book, no bus·i­ness matter, no political concern no a ffec­tion for family or friend made t he Alight ­est impression upon -him. The next d ~y he jump~Q out of a ten-story window.

Let us then be Ul) and doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we dG more with less per­plexity. Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all things easy; and He that riseth late must trot all day, and sha1l scarce over­take his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly that Poverty soon overtakes him~ Drive thy business, let not that drive thee; and early to bed and early to rise, makes a n1an healthy, wealthy and wise, as Poor Richa1~d says." • ~Benjami11 Franklh1 . • .. • -
