| 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; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. • .

Edward DarnelL a clipping from the Star and Stripe~, a neV\ spa per publi hed by the doughboy ~ , omewhere in France. It was a short editorial illu trated with a picture of three American , oldiers who had been left on the field of battle, cold and still in death , from enem_ bullets. The editorial and picture tell a graphic ~ tory of what i happening on the battlefields of Europe, and the outh Pacific. vVe quote: "vVhen you read about a town after falling into our hands, you sooner or la ter, get into the frame of mind, that it's ea sy. \~r ell, here's how it is.

Speaking of Large Salaries vVould you like to earn a salary of $52 5,600 a year? D on't believe there are many people who would refu se such an offer, do you? Yet, there are people who say that no ·--man is worth that much, however, we shall n ot argue the que tion, for we believe every one has a right to their opinion. "Let's see, $525,600 a year, is exactly one dollar a minute- . twenty:.four hours a day-365 days in the year. Suppo e you were paid such a salary} or earned $525,600 a yea r, and saved every penny of it, how long would it take you to make a billion dollars? In fact, do you realize what a billion is r \Nell,_ suppose we look at it this way, if you were -vvorking for the paltry sum of $525,600 a year, and saved every penny of it, it would take you one thousand, nine hundred and two and one-half years, to make a billion. In other word , if you had beenborn in the year 41, A. D., and were still living at the age .of 1,902.5 years, and had earned a dollar a minute since. the day you were born, and saved every penny of it, not counting interest on your savings, you would today ·have only a billion dollars. A bill ion is a thousand million. But, the term is u ed o frequent ly in present-day government finances .it means nothing to the majority of American people-it is just another o-overnment expenditure. The interest on a billion doll ar ', at 20 per cent, amounts to twenty-five million dollars a year. 1 oday we are 250 billion dollars in debt, and still <•oin decpeL Two lnmdred and fifty billion at 2 Yz per ent interest per year means that the intere t on our pre ent national indebte<:lness is mor than $11 ,700 a minute, r ix billi on, t\vo hundred and fifty million lollar a e r. Another illu stration might help u to realize how bi the national I. bt is. · "If 50,000,000 people that is ppro, imatel the total number of abl -bodi d worl rs in the nit d State ~ sholdcl pay the g v · rnm .nt $2,400 a ear or na , one dollar an hour~4 hours a \, ek for 12 m nths allowing 2 week vacation, it woull tak t ' y ars t pay off th national deb ."

Christmas Nineteen Forty-Four uF or unto you is hom this day - - - a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." There will be many sad hearts on this Ch,ristmas Day, because of the war. Some will contend, "How can one say 'lV1erry Chri tmas' in a world so full of cruelty-with those who are near and dear to us, on foreign fields, suffering the horrors of a ruthless war, prosecuted by hea rtless dictators?" But, above the roar of cannon and bursting bombs, comes · tbe voice: "Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." These words from the heavenly host, will comfort many broken hearts, and cheer us on our way. R emember, when Chri st wa born, a dictator ruled o er the wor1d-Augusta Caesar, Emperor of the Roman J~.mpire. Chri t was born in a stabJet and cradled in a manger.

This powerful ground mine has been dormant since 1707, and may need only a few 12,000-pound block-bu ters, to wake it up. When the la st eruption ccurred-according to hi torical records, the crystalized lava- topper blew out wi th terrific force , hurling molten material kyward, and scattering red- · hot ashes over a large area. And as the molten lava flowed down the mountainside, it left death and de tructiQn in it path. A similar eruption might jar the N ipponese lao e from some of their preconceived ideas of a uperior race. Fujisan, the "sacred mounta in" of J apan, i situated on the Honshu Island, and is visited by thousa nd~ of pilgrimannually, from all parts of the J apane e empire, who wor hip at the summit, at shrines, or temples along the way. T ourists tell us, it is one of the most intere tin cr object in all Japan. The crater of Fujisan is about 2,000 feet in diameter and sometimes it is covered with now. There are a large number of volcanos in ] a pan, which might be potential land-mine capable of doing reat damacre if an eruption should occur. There is a wide difference of opinion as to what might occur if a block-buster hould trike a volcano. Some scientists claim that a volcano might be weakened by well-placed bombs and cause an eruption. "On Ones Toes" What Does It Mean To You?
