| 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.

In fact, practically all of the useful meta ls are found in this State and a remarkable increase in the value of its mineral output is being produced annua lly. In 1910 Utah ranked fourth among the States in the pwduction of copper; i·n 1928 the State took third place in copper production. Lead has also shown similar rapid increase. In 1941 Utah had a gros output in the five leading nonferrous metal , gold, silv e r, copper, 1ead, and zinc, of $95 ,- 383,037. An increase of· about $9,000,000 over 1940. T oday the State of Utah ranks second in the production of copper, third in silver, third in lead, sixth in gold, and sixth in zinc. The Utah Copper Company produces at present 30 per cent of all dome tic copper currently being u sed in the war-effort and is by far the grea test single producer in the United States. It produced In 1941, a total of 514,000,000 pounds of copper and 9,000,000 pounds of molybdenum, a hardening alloy. It is said that the open-cut method o f mining copper ore at the Utah copper mine, i o ne of the g reate t engineering marvel.

Help Win the W or By Keeping Well " . - health a blessing money cannot buy'' The I nstitute of Life In urance has iss ued t his timely warning to every American, ' Do your best to keep from being sick or l ing time or preadincr illn ess." We've got to keep well and healthy if we win this war. Uncle Sam is depending upon each one of us to be on the job c ery day, and do a fu ll day's work. v e are informed by lood auth rity, that at least twothir ds of the 80,900 doctor in this country und ·-r forty-five years of age ''rill be required by the Arm Navy and Air "'o rps. That will be nea rly ne-third of America-'s medical force. \Ve have ou r car, ~ he ke l and serviced reg ularly, and we a re more ca re fL11 wi th tbe machines we orerate today than • '"'e've e er been, because e.a rs and machines of all kinds are difficult to ·t. Isn' t it more important that we take care of 01.1r bodi es? Dr. Thomas Parren, Su rgeon General, U.S. Public H ealth Service, says : "Each individual can contribute to his own health protection and improvement by adopting a few simple ways of healthful living. Each of us must accept th is respm1sibility and stick to it with firm purpose. The total of indiy1dual respo~sib il ity for persona l h ealth , accepted by tmlltons of Amencan men and women, will make an incalculable contribution to victory." To keep well we must put into our bodi es the right kind of food. The most important, \ve a re told, arce: butter, milk, meat, fish, eggs, soup, chee e, beans, fru it, green leaf vegetab le , ce reals, and bread. Get plenty of rest- at least eight hours in eve ry twentyfour. We a re told that the prime essentials of health and . life are food, water and sleep, however, the la tter seems to be the most exacting in its demands, and perhaps tbe most important, fo r, men have lived sixty-th ree days without food, and t en clays without water, but they cou ld not last eight days without sleep. · , Sleep must be had o r ou.r whole physical and mental tructu re will collapse within a short pe ri od of time. Keep clean - baths a re a good health preca uti on. C1ean cloth es, clean houses and clea n beds with plenty of fr esh air, sunshine and drinkin.g water is the b est medicin e. Medical care for civili ans will be a p rob1 em for the duraticm. Doctors will be sca rce and overworked , therefo re, we should ~o everything within our power to keep well , but do not hes1tate to consult your physician if you are not feeling well.
