| 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; Pasadena, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. I J < )( ~ 'l"'() BE 1-t J 081:) .

When they dcciderl lv sec · outsid a·sistancc, somebody rememb red fiill , and a request went through cbann ls lor Champion to "lnau" him to the Mexica n firm to see if h e could h ·lp . . - - • • In ltgu t , Bill flew to Mexico City where he was hriefed on the situation at tl1e fim1's general offices. The ne . t day he went by Mexican airline to Vera Cruz, and then by private plane 125 miles south to Tux.tepec. "That flight was so rough even the pilot got sick," Bill aid. Be au e the country is covered with jun:gle and had no airfield, the plane had to land G>n a small lake. "They Were Getting an Extremely Long Fibre" The mill ha four Roberts grinders, identical to the on s Bill ha · worked with for 12 ears at Champion. "The problem wa they had eeen getting an extremely long fibre, which mad a strong sheet that wouldn't take ink well," Bill tells. After a look at the ponderosa pine Lbey were grinding, Bill decided it was more like East Te a gum than pine. That j , it \v'as almost a hardwood. He suggested using a proces which Texas Champions had developed for grinding gum, and sure enough, the fibre began to improve. During Bilt's four-day . ta:y at Tuxtepec, he was put up in a modern, three-bedroom house with a butler, a - ' maid and a cook. He didn't have much time to enjoy the luxury, thCJugh, for he was at the mill 16 to 18 hours a. day. He was a little surprised to see that the refrigerator in the hGuse was an Imex, made by General Motors in Mexico, but even more surprised to see that the range was a Tappan, "very much like the one I have at horne." Since Bill doesn't speak Spanish, he had a few communication problems, but there were enough Englishspeaking people around to help him over the humps. The mill itself was similar to what Bill was already familiar with, but there were s till a lot of differences. All of the first-line supervisors and workers were native Mexicans; wod~.ers earn about $1.40 per day, witf1 no extra pay for overtime. The $28 million mill has a capacity of J 30 tons per day, with 9"0% of the pulp produced in its own groundwood mill and the balance imported from Newfoundland. Since the mill is new, all the latest developments in papermaking are incorporated into the ·equipment, including a 120-inch paper machine with a vacuum heaclbox. Until recently, when a hydro-electric dam was completed, the mill had drawn its power from a dieselelectl" ic locomotive which had been parked· on a siding. The Area Is a Hunter's Paradise -Bill described the countryside as "hilly jungle, and very beautiful, but you have to watch out for snakes:' In the tropical climate, bananas, mangoes, oranges, lemons and calavos grow in abundance. The wildlife is ,. prolific, especially snakes, parrots, monkeys and burros; ' Bill calls it "a hunter's paradise.;, ·Oddly enough, the wood does not come from the jungle, but from a mountainous area about 200 miles from the mill. It is cut from virgin timber, and carried in on modern diesel trucks in logs 30-35 feet long and five to seven feet in diameter. One of the interesting curiosities of the area is a river which natives .call "the Foolish River," because it flows alternately in both directions. "I never could find out che reason f0t this," Bill relates, "as we were too far upstream to be affected by tides, and 110 one at the mi1l seemed to kno\v anything that might cause it." · Bill can be forgiven for not knowing <.tbout rivers that flow b0th way,s. H@ ha$ been with Champion almost 22 years, and spent two years._ in on~tru ti,on of the Pasadena mill before that; and, after hi tour of dut J as a "groundwood expert," there is no denying that he knows pulp making. • B1LL H LLOWAY, ' .EX CHA •!PION. pau es in a bu 'y da ''wit11 hi nose to ~be gd11dSton '' to 1 · aU his fou.r-dl! ttdp to 1'exi <;o s ::t groun :two d "exp rt." 7 CHARLES TREADWAY, shown here with his family, is a happy man.

Man , tim their feats were so connected with their names that they were called "Henry the Great," "William The Conqueror" and . o on. ·well, in our modern age of the t \\·entieth century, we might well use this means to Je cribe some of our outstanding statesmen and leaders, If such a sys tem were practical, and if this means of identification were used by everyone as a code of description, there's no doubt but that Charles Treadway would b known · ~ ''Charles the Determined."

It tu.ok Char'les 12 years te get his degree but he stuck to it. . . has been an Ohio Champion for nine years, but he has been a student almost every year of his life. This continuation of his education is where the "determined" aspect fits in to . his description. Born in Kentucky, Charles graduated from high school at the Oneida Baptist Institute in 1941. He entered the ar:med services in 1943. After spending the next three years fulfilling his military obliga tion, Charles made up his mind to continue his schooling. He enrolled in Lindsey Wilson Jr. College. The next year he mov ~cl ,. to Hamilton and continued his education at nearby Miami University. But he, like many other married students, was forced to drop out of school to support his family. In 1950 he began working at Champion. Charles was a determined man, however, and he vowed that he would return to his. studies when the opportunity arose. In the years that followed, the Treadway's were the proud parents of Betty Ann and Shelby. Again, Charles bad to postpone his education plans. His studies were delayed but not forgotten. In 1957 he returned to Miami University as a parttime student. Many times he had to work evenings and nights and attend school during the day. But Chaxles 'Was a determined man. He knew what he wanted. ' It was about thi Lime that Charles stopped in at the Ohio LOG Offi e and made the statement that, " the only way they'll get me out of school again is to fail rn~ or t.hrqw me out, I'll never quit.'' He didn't quit either. He entered the Salmon P.

The theme was se lected and a rough story outline was completed in Apri l. Since that time over ] 5 rewrites of the original outline have bee~ prepared.

Jim and Bi.Il Thompson, both Champion Old Timers are no exceptions to this rule. Their father, George, a retired Old Timer in his own right, and Mrs. Thomp on have for years lookeg forward to Champion's Old Timer Banquet as second only to Christmas in order of annual importance. This year our father was hospitalized and unable to attend. ' Jim and I prevailed upon our mother to let us take her to the banquet. It didn't take too much coaxing, either. She "dolled" herself up like a_ tickled kid. Small in stature, our mother a1ways reminded me of an old song as she hurried about readying herself for any special occasion·. That song was "Little Old Lady Passing By, Catching Everyone's Eye." - \Ne took our little "date" out that evening and a grand time was had by alL ,.---.-J.,.believe it was Abe Lincoln weo said, ''All I am and a.ll I ever hope t:o be I owe to my darling mother."

Lil has worked at Cha1upion for 30 years. Ruth, her sister, is confined to a wheel chair but spends most of her time helping others. I haye often heard that you must put something into life if you expect to receive anything in return. This holds true for Ruth and Lil, for the happiness they have brouglu to others has given them an abundance of happiness i n return . . --- ~uth has been confin ed to her b ~d and wheel chair since he.r Junior High School days, 32 ye~rs ago, when sbe suffered a back fracture in a basketball game. Despite h r confieement, she is busy all the time with the many activities that she and Lil are interested in. They have another sister here at Champion, Mary McDaniel of Controls Development. For the last seven years Ruth has be n the .represe. ntative for the Christi<m League For The Handicap,pcd o.f Harnil ton.

She averages 250 letter a month. Ruth was very much surpTised and pleased to receive a gift of.arl electric typewriter from the President's wife, Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower. It has been a great help to her in her work. Ruth and Lil do many things for others besides_ the handic.app~d. This past winter they have been helping the Wmnebago Indians.
