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.

VOL. IX. MAY, 1926 N0. 3 ~\.~ LISTEN The management is calling upon every employee to do his or her ~~dead level best" to make this the most successful Safety Contest we have ever~Jt h~. ~ We can do it if we play safe all the time. One careless act and the rec- ~ ord of your Department is spoiled. This warning is issued to remind you that danger luTks just ahead, and that in order to prevent injuries we must play safe and not depend upon luck or the other fellow to protect us. Therefo]·e Safety First is the best policy. Let's make it unanimous for Safety. Let's join hands with the Company and help make this the safest. cleanest and most efficient plant in the South. The Manager is doing his part. Let's meet him half way by doing our part. Safeguards have been installed around all machines and dan­gerous places. Now it's up to us to observe the rule of Safety at all times. Remember that life and limb a1·e at stake. and if we do not want to suf- Jntl.~~ktll fer we must play Safe all the time. 2 TH~~ LOG WU~ A 'f A M.Jntl C A NH !>'It \ ' I t.lN N thL f.'l'lll'llllt'~ 1 ~ IU' of 'l' h<' Log, "''' r• 0111i ctl tn ltllt you enrh mnnth . for srvc•l'lll mont h11 u~ ltu'<t, n t•unrl.l'nl't •I l_ ~ slory of' lht• life nr 1)1\(' grcnl A lllt'YICI\11; in ortlt•l thnl we, wh(l nr~ :~o llutl)' pre>\'ldinsr for thl! nrrd!!

His :Cather emigl'ated to Boston f rom England, in 1682. nnd set. up in business as a candle-moulder and soap boiler. Benjamin. the tenth child of his pnt-cnls, was taken from school nt the nge or len years and put to wo1·k in his fnther'~ tallow-candle and ~<ooap factory.

That some 1\l lea !lt of the disability found in the :tdult may b:! lntd to the d<'fcctive nutrition during childhood wafl probably first tndicatcd by im·eStigal ion in Englnnd, following lhe Boer War, when two-thirds of the recruits wet·e rejeetcd because of physical im perfection~. Emerson slates : "There is no evidence in lhe weighing and measuring of childr:!n thal malnutrition, if left untreated, tends on the whole to correct. itself. The percentage of malnutrition for older children is no less than for younger children. rt is then ·foir to a&ume Uta t. the nation's List. of physical unfit. is supplied by t his group of malnourished children in the schools." Dr . Emerson also makes the following statement: "One third of a ll the children in the United Sta tes are unde•· weight or under nouris:hed or ma lnou.ris hed." This condition is limited to no lo­ca lity and lo no social class. It is prevalent in the North us in the South, in the country a!< in the cit.y, in the homes of the t'tCh ns in the 11lumF. ll is n condition baneful to the well being of our chiJdren and dengerous ro the henlth of our future men and women. ~1nlnutrit.ion in childrl!'n is no-w recognized ns t he grMtesl !lingle problem affecting our nnlional health.

It is the best caustic finishing plant we have seen, and the opera­tors have ~hown their appreciation oC it by establishing a n1:w record on the time required to finish a pol oC cau11tic; this has b~n J't·ducl'd one third. The reduction of time required to finish a job of cau~lic, is largely due to the change in the construction of the furnact• fiue!l, which was suggested by Tommie Furness. This nccomt>lishment will enable us to fini11h one third more cnuslir in out• new plant than wll!l expected, nnd also reduce the ttmount of coal r2quired per ton of cnustic produced.

A HAZARDOUS JOB When the new switch board wn~ installed recently a lnrge num­b<> r of boards were placed on the lower cords of the roor tru~ses in the Generator room, to provide n platform for the ~lectricians to work on. The placing of these board~ was done by the creY.s of Perry Childers and Bt·n Fi11her, and removed by Perry'« crew. It wa!l a very hazardous job, but we are glad to report that it was accomplished without an injury to any of the men or machines. These men deserve credit for such good work and we nrc glad lo make mention of it in "The I..og." "Thl're is really no clue by which we can tr,;ad out• way through the maze~ of culture anti the diRtraction!l of modern life Bave by knoY.ing the true and natural needs of childhood and adolesc"nce.

An year si1.e requires 31,4 yards of 40 inch 'd and % yard of plain material 40 in­s wide for facing the sleeves, collar and ers, i! made as illustrated m the largt> view. If made wiUl long sleeves it will take 3% yards of the plaid. 5441. Ladies' Dress. Cut in 6 Sizes: 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 inches bust measure. A 38 inch size re­quires 2% yards of 64 inch material. The width of the dress at the lowet· edge is 21,4 ~·nt·ds, with plaits extended. ~ ­[;~~~ S¥-l?'k<Z.•!, 5427. Child'~t Dress. Cut in 5 Size~: 1, 2, 3, ·1 1.md 5 years. A 3 yem· si?.e requires 1 )i yard of figured material and :tJ yard of plain material, 27 inches wide if made ns illustrated in the large Yiew. Jn plunning a dress or skirt, it is well to rememh~r that straight lengthwise lines 11\Creas<• the oppearancc o[ height. Straight crosswise lines 1\dcl to the appearance of width. a curve may increase the appearance of width and ~horten the app!.'arance of heighl. Yoke~. flounce~ and draping lencl to short­l'n the appearnnce of height. .A wide helt makes the waiRt look large. \ round girdle will make the waist seem lau·g~, a pointE>cl Rirdle \ill rlE>crease the size. A pointed yoke i:~ better than a round yoke for a stout figure. Long sweeping draperies give an appear­ance of height. Puffs and hip draperies add to the width. Vest effects and revers break the width u[ the ft·onl and tend to slenderize the flg­ut ·e. In making summer dresses, it is good to have a waist-lining of silk or net or lawn, which should be made seperately ,and tacked in so that it may be readily removed for laundering. Two such linings for each dress will be a convenience, and while the ready-made linings ure !lerviceable, it is necessat·y to have them a "perfect" fit, or else the set of the dress may be marrod. In making net linings, allow for a little tuck of plait in the back and front for shrinkage in washing. 533-l. Ladies' Under Garment. Cut in 4 Sizes: Small, 34-36; Medium, 38-40; Large, 42-44; Extra Large, 46-48 inches buRt measure. A Medium size re­f! Uire!l 2 ynrrls of 36 inch material. PRESS EVERY SEAM To achieve smart tailored effects, make it a rule to press every seam before it joins to another in a garment. In the pressing use a moderately hot iron, never a scortching hot one. Press by lift. ing the iron over the garment rather than by putting pressure on the iron as in Iron­ing a linen tablecloth. 12 ---------- l n bn::<l irl)l' u l(llrlll l'lll t ugvtbc•• , l~' Y lht> lllll ( l'l'lld 11111 Jl'.'l' f\!t'lly !011\CIIl'th~l Oil II \.tlhll•.

ALL FISHERMEN ARE NOT DIS­HONEST. Sometame dul'ing April, P. B. York in the E. 8. Plant, went fishing in Lnke Junaluska.

McElrath, who i:. employed in the Book Mill. r.1r. l\1eElrath had found the box on the bank of the lake. While we know that it is understood that a ll ftshermnn nre liars, it is grntifying to know that some of them nrc honest.
