| 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. • u A R v • I 9 5 2 F R 0 M THE EDITORS \\~e're grat ified ind cd to :nnt imu.' to r · ~ · i\ . . he LO •.

Summer Has Its Hazards On the contrary, summer is not without its ha.zards. • At least, we know now that collie pups cannot withstand exce ive heat in the nest. We recall -a cenain week in late July when our two females, Star and Jeannie, whelped a total of 14 puppies. They ·were all away to a good start and, priding ourselves on a perfect record, we relaxed our vigilant watch over them. There followed everal days of blistering heat, with the mercury soaring close to the 100-degree mark: Before we realized what was happeniHg, Star's puppies were crying in distress arid orie of rh.em gasped and lay still in death. Jeannie became so restless that her tiny young ters could not nurse her unless we h eld her down. We rush d the puppi s into the basement in the v ry nitk of time. And we pent a nightmar.ish week of juggli~g the 10-da:y-old pups from the bam to th gara.ge to the basement and. even out in the yard under the trees. All of whi h dro e n n rous J anni nearly out of h r mind. 'Ne finally took h r puppi s from. her and Star nursed the J 3 young· .olli ttn t.il th y rrivc I at the s:ix w ks weaning stage, All of these things 1 a~sed through out' nt1nd lasl Thanksgiving Day ev ning wh n tb · hoy!! reported tha~ tJ1.e cow was n. ·I up by th '. ban:1 t~s per u 'Hal.

We discov red that lo.cating a veterinarian on T h anksgiving everting is a large order. All of the local men were oat of town or indisposed. D perately y\re called upon the operator for help. In a few minutes she located an appren tice in Oxfo.rd who was learning the busine s with an older vet. Soon a- boyish voice came over the wire and informed us that he would be there in less than 30 minutes. We couldn't have done better, anywhere, anytime. The small, well-muscled lad who stepped Ot,It of hi · car exactly 23 minutes later wa a rate combination of -thepry and practice, plus an ab orbing interest in hi.s work. He . politely asked for a pan of warm water, gathered his tools a_nd rushed down to the barn . • It Was His Desire To, Succeed B t'lt it was more 'than the ·way he went about tl1e des1oerate job that itnpressed us. It was his tremendou desire to succeed, a desire that is inevi-tabl ool d in older vets, with a broader, more realistic perspective. For him, ~the world stood still and the sole action wa in that straw-covered room in the barn :beneath a tin light bulb. He fought to save both the cow and calf as though he staked his lifeblood on th · outcome. For one full hour young Da\'is orhd fev 'ishl •, ten lerly, sometirnes ro·nghJy. And for a fnll · hour no one knew whether he would S'"lJ ceed or faiL Fina11y he turned the calf around, and th puHing began, an I what pulling it was.

(3) To show the advantage of greater productivity, in the way ir cou rribu te ' to high wages and Jow prices. · (4) To pass along significallt U.
