After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. ., I n ( ,:;::::::: - - ( ~ • . ~ ' • • , . ~,.,_- l I .

No man is rotten in any country, except that some of the above conditions made him so. So help me, George Steiner, this is rriy true belie£. In every nation, and every race and creed there is the same proportion of good and bad. _In Germany, under Hitler, the average man was good; Ln Italy under .Mussolini, the average man was good; in Russia today, the average man is discontented, fearful, and prayerfuL Russia has denounced God; God has not denounced Russia. ·whenever it becomes necessary to move agamst a man, or men, let us ke-ep our perspective clear. Let us not hate and fight men b eca use they are m n. Let us rather cling to the princi.pal dta t we do not hate people -we steadtastly oppo c orne things they rand lor.
