| Summary: | Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Paper and 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; Pasadena, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. I / • • • , .

Immediately after came the pulpwood crews who removed the smaller, le s desirable ha:rdwoo ls and shipped them to Canton for paper making. Stumps three teet high were left so it would be easier for the bulldozers to push them over. Then the bulldozers were brought in to clear the areas of the stumps, the remaining trees a ocl br ush . Finally, the land was refores.ted with pine, either directly by planting or indirectly from seed trees. While we are clearing more and more of this land at a rapjd rate, we have enough a-cres of this type to keep our crews bu y for several ve.ars. I Sprouting from roots and tump may yet be a problem to ove-rcome. Then, too, the areas may require di cing followed by planting. However, in. face of the e pro blem~, wasted acres are being converted to usefu l pine forests at a wholesale rate .
