| Summary: | 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. 3 R ~ ARY 1959 I> () iY ' • ' See: uNo. 20--A PAPERMAKING GIANT" -- pages 8- I I ~ THE VACULITE VENTURE'" -- pages I -5 l From the Editors \V ( 1 tha t our cov r thi · m nth is w r!l mor than h u ·ual men tioo.

In "The Vaculite Venture," beginning on page l , and "No. 20 - A P apermaking Giant," page 8, we have tried to of:fer you some facts on two new phases of ' . . ovr company s operatiOns. Let it be said that our cartoon characters are not exactly models of good safety practices. Nor does the clutter and confusion seem de~ i gned to ·prevent mashed toes or banged heads. Suffice it to say that Champion construction teams are more safety-minded than the little men on our cover. Sharp-eyed Safetyman Otto ' 1\Tagers picked out six unsafe practices in their work.
