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.

At the age of eighteen he entered Pl'inceton College in .L-e"· Jersey. :\rhile there. he carried on his stu die to 1.; uch an e:x.tent that for n1onihs at a tin1e he nllo"'ed hiinself only three hours out of the twenty-four for sleep. This prolonged 1nental effort so impaired his health that he uttered fro1n the handicap all his life. • In 1771 he 'graduated as B. A , but remained anothel· year at Princeton, tudying under the direction of Pre~ident ,,-itherspoon. Returning to \rirginja in 1772, he took a great inter­e .. t in the welfare and education of his brothers and rosters, all of \·hom passed through life esteemed and beloYed. His mother v.·as ~ellie Conway, the daughter of Francis Con""ay. a Virginia planter. The mother had all the graces of the typical . outhern woman, and she w·as noted for piety and learning. She Jived to enjoy the companionship of her distinguished son, after his retirement from the Pre ideney, eleven yeal"S · a longer time than any: other mother of a President. In 1775~ he \·as appointed chairman of the committee of public safety for Orange County, and jn the sp:ring of 1776 he was chosen a delegate to the Ne\v Virginia Convention "Y\'hich formed a constitution for the Staie. He was a n1an of high moral principles and when a candiaate in 1777 for re-election to the General Assem­l> Iv of the State, he "·as defeated becau. e he r efused to treat the voters ·wjth whiskey, a euston1 \Vhich was repulsive to voung 1\-Ia-dj on, and should be to every good Ameriran citizen. In 1779 he \·as eleeted a delegate to the Cont.inental Congre.ss, and later to the Congress of the Confeuel·a­tjon.

But the labor ·was not fin ished with this draft, tht1 consti.­t. ution '~'.as yet to be accepted by the people. Its ac­ceptance ·was due in a large mea s ure to the effort~ of ~.fadison. In order to place the New Constitution be­fore the people in its true light and to meet objections against it, he, together with Hamilton and Jay, pub­lished a serie'"' of essays in 1788 under the name of The Federalist. Although he remained in public service for t'venty-five years longer, his greatest work was fin­ished ,\-ith the adoption ef the constitution. He had \'On the well-deseTved title of "Father of the Constitu­tion." The stand he had taken alienated fi·om him the support of a large number of the people from his State and caused hin1 to be defeated a.s a candidate for United States Senate in 1788. However, he was elected and took his seat in CongJtess in April, 1789. In 1793-96 l\IIadison opposed the foreig policy of the administration in its attempts to maintain a neutral position between Great Britain and F1'ance, then at 'var with each other. For a ntnnber of years he was ve1·y active in p olitics and not only a leader in his ovn1 state, b ut in national affaiTs. In 1797 Madison \vithdre'N to private life and contin­ued in the practice of his profession. In 1798 he ' va. persuaded by Thomas J efferson to take part in a move­ment in opposition to the Alie11 and Sedition Lc1.,vs passed by the Federalists in that year, and he \~.ras the author of the Vjrginja resolutions. During Thomar-; Jefferson's adn1inistrationJ 1801-~. lVIadison filled the office of Sec1·etary of State. During this period he wrote a paper on (,An Exan1inati n of t lte British I>oct1·in Which ub.iects to Captur a r u- . tJ·al Trade Not 0])en in Tin1e of P e;lcc.''

GOOD RECORD REPAJRING LILLY EVAPORATOR Frank Smathers' cre'v made a record duTing Decem­ber ,repairing tubes in the Lilly Evapo1·ator. Replacing a set of t ubes fo1n1e1·Jy required about six days, but the boys removed the old ones and re­placed the new set in 48 hoLu·s, \·hich was nearly a • whole day less tirne than is usually required. That's fiJJ.e, and is p1·oof of the .fact that our boys can do as much ,~rork in a day as any body, \vhen they get on a rush job. • • SODA MILL 1926 URING the year 1926, the Soda lVhll made the best tonnage 1 ecord of any year since the plant has been in operation.

Lanning is employed on the Yard as brakeman. About sb;: years ago, in order to encourage our employees to purchase and own their hon1es, The Champion Fibre Company invested sixty-five· thousand doUaxs in Canton property and resold to employees through our Home Builders Agreement Plan, which perrnits then1 to pay for their property in 1nonthly installments. Through this method of buying, a nunilier of employees have paid for and now o~· n property which "rould have been impossible for them to have paid for in any other way. Those who purchased through the Home Builders Agreement Plan and have received a deed to their property are L. A. Lanning, Frank Smith, W. 'l. Ivester, L. S. Cody, J. B. Gentry and C. E. McGown. We realize that these men and their families had to sacrifice in order to meet the pay1nents, but, to-day they rejoice because they are p:ropeity­O\ vners, and are contributing matetially towards the growth and better­ment of the to\vn, County and State in which they live. Champion employees 'vho own their OV\7 ll homes are, largely men who are 'vorking for a dail ~' "'A' age. They are the men \vho seem to be contrib­uting largely to the upbuilding of the Communjty, a.nd making ou:r town a better place in which to live. We \Vant to congratulate t.hese men on their achievement, and hope that theit experience has proven ~o interesting they wj11 continue to lay asjde a porUon of th eir income each month . To accun1u late property or. mo11ey, we n1usi be \Villing to sacrifice some of the pleasures of life. · BIR'£HS On December 30th7 the stot·k Jef•; at the hotne of 1\Ir. and 1 ~h s.

Thin-skinned children whose ne1·ves lie near · the surface and who are unduly sensitive to • t he character of their soTroundings n1ay properlv be called nervous . Such children, as infants~ cry longer t han other babies, are over­sensit ive · to lig·ht, sounds and . • strangers; as they gl~ow older they do not get along well "'ith other child1·en . In school they do not ad­j ust easily ; theY feel that the teachers disc1·iminate a g a in s t them; they take to themselves slights that ·were not intended . \iVhenever a child exhibits any of these traits, he is sho,Ying the need for constructive help . What Glueck calls· the task of gJ.'O\v:ing . up inv9lves 'five main points. These a1·e : 1. The chiJd1S state of depend­eilce. 2. His adaptatjon to the problem of authority. 3. Hjs ability to 1·ecognize things as cold hard facts anrl to deal 'vith them as such. 4. His family relation hips and the way tl1ey a1Tect hin1 . 5. 1'he p·rogressi ve inlegralion of his personality .

Down in one corner of the barn lay Fan, and five of the loveliest little pups you ever sa~'. Harrv • was ahnost wild with delight. Each puppy must be hugged and patted. How Harry laughed when they stuck out theix cunning red tongues. He had never seen pups with such long silky ears, nor such bright little eyes, nor such lovely soft coats. He could scarcely leave them to go to school, and I am afraid he thought mo1·e of Fan and her babies that da than he did of his sums. How fast the puppies grew. One day Harry went to make Fan a ·visit, and all the little pups were staJ.·jng with ~ride­opened eyes at a little fat pig. Finally one of the pups tnade a dash at the pjg, and then all th . pups joined in the liveliest kind of a chase.

During 1926 we surpassed all previous rec­orda in accidnt \prevention. Through the prae­tiee of safe methods \ve made a reco1~d in which we all should r ejoice. I.~et's see if \V.e ean't do even better in 1927. The Soda ~till tonnage was t.he largest since the plant has been in operation which V.'as due to new equipment ant greater efficiency. I 'vant to express my appreciation and urge the men in this department to do their best in Ot'­der that the reports will, at the close of this :rear, show an improvement over 1926. . The Electrolytic Blea~h Plant. has also .n1ade some gain in both tonnage and labor eeonomy.
