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

On December 15, 1893, the House of RepresentatJves passed a bill admittino- Arizona to the Union, but when it reached the.

Why Do We Do It? Pedestrians Seem To Be More Careless Than: Ever H ave you obse rved the increasing disrespect of pedestrians for all traffic rules and regul a ti on s~ Such thoughtlessness or foolha rdin ess will ultimat ely lead to sorrow and suffering. One would t hink that sensible people would u e better judgement, and not depend upon the automobiEst and truck driver to shi eld them if th ey del iberately get in the path of a moving vehicle. While the d river might make every effort possible to stop before str iking someone who steps out in front of his car, he might not be able to s top in time to prevent an accident. While in Cincinnati recently, we were impressed with the latest innovation in directing traffice. An offi cer in an automobile, equipped with an ampli fier, was p arked at the intersection of Fifth and . Walnut streets, where the traffic is extremely congested, especially in t he afternoon, and ex- . horted the pedestrians to observe the traffic . ignals. When anyone attempted to cross the st reet against the red light, he would exclaim, in tones that could be bea rd for more than a block, "Please observe the traffic rules if you don't want to get hurt."-don't try to cheat you might get k illed or crippled. "Shame on you, I see you t rying to sneak across in violation of the traffic rules."- " please ~tay on the curb until the green light :flashes on. " - etc. A large per cent of the officers in th e citi es and on the hi ghway have volunteered or been ca lled into the Armed Service, and we can help the greatly reduced force to p revent accidents on the streets and on the highway by ob ying tra.ffic regulation . Cheating or violating tra.ffic r ule is not pat riotic. Remember the offic rs are t rying to protect u swe hould help them by obeying all traffi c rules.

Benzing ha been P ulp and Paper Sales Manager for the Canton Divi ion of The Champion Paper and Fibre Company ince February 1917} and largely throuo-h his efforts, the Canton plant has been able to operate when other raper and pulp mill were hut d own on account of lack of orders.

The reason given is, ·ome people are allergic to certa1n substance- that i , there i omething .about the per on himself which has produced a hypersen itivity to certain chemical , fumes, dust, etc. For instance there are certain people who are allergic to the odor of pol en from roses - they cannot stay in a room with blooming roses without uffering ill effect. Perhaps one of the most strik ing example~ of allergic reaction i hav fever and a thma. We find that certain • people react unfavorably to certain polen , while others are not affected by them at all. We k now t hat the arne is true 0f both men and women employed in factories where they orne in contact with chemicals. orne people suffer no ill effects while others develop dermati ti s. H owever, c:it is an e·tablished fact that many infective type of dermatitis can be avoided by getting worker to wa h regularly with liquid ~r een oap (minus a brasive ) and warm water.' While it i -true, physicians tell us, that mo t cases of dermatitis are not contagiou , that is communicable by direct or indirect contact, however, boil , and athlete' f ot may spread like vi ld fire through a p lant unJe s proper preventative measures a re taken 'in time. It i said that one of the be t remedie- to prevent an epidemic of ath lete's foot is to O"ive the locker room floor a good live team bath at regular inte.f'vals (at least once a week ) to kill the germ .

Carelessness or Neglect- The Cause of the Loss of Many Lives One of the worst catastrophies in the h istory of America occurred November 29, 1942, apparently, as a result of carelessness or neglect on the ra rt of someone. When the "Cocoanut Grove," a night club in Boston, Massachusetts, burned, nearly 500 people lost their lives, and, perhaps, two hundred more suffered serious injuries. According to reports, the horrible disaster was caused by a tiny match flame handled carelessly by an irresponsible person where there were highly combustible decorations or materials. The fire spread so rapidly, the great throng of people, in an effort to get out of the building, knocked down the weak and trampled many to death. Others were suffocated by the smoke, ~nd burned beyond recognition. What is the lesson we learn from this dreadful incident? First; the danger of handling fire carelessly-matches, cigarette stubs, cigar butts, and electric oc acetylene welding or cutting torches, near or in the vicinity of combustible material. Second, fire hazards should not be allowed to exist in Champion plants or Champion homes. And, third, we should be constantly on the lookout for fire hazards and keep Champion pLants dean a-nd 01:derly and all eombustible material in a safe place. Remember, a tiny match, or a cigarette could start a fire that might destroy any of our plants., cause the loss of many lives, and put a large number of people out of work. Smoking in the plant or handling welding and acetylene torches ca relessly is a dangerous p racti ce. Coal It is said , "Coal, one f Nature's mo t :ommon raw material s, is potentially richer in rubber than all the i land& of the East; more bountiful in fibres than all t he Japanese silkwvrm wealth ier )n colors than the rainbow; and ah · und-ing in curative medicin al .' 1 "Two bankers ," she went on "were alkin . the other day about a financier who had fai led ." 1 '"And did p or J ohn take his failur !ike a man ?' said the first banker. " 'Exactly like a man,' said the oth er. 'He blamed it n the extravagance of his wife'.'' • • MBSSAGE TO BVBRY ME RICAN FROM TIIB PRBSIDBNT JCr dear Kr. Secretar;rt THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 24, 191,3 · Through you, as Secreta17 ot the 'l'reasur.r, I •nt to congratulate the American people on the way in which thq have supported the voluntary parroll savings plan. I am proud ot the tact that 271 0001 000 patriotic . are regularly inves-ting more than $4201 0001 bOO a month to h&~p pay the cost ot the war. And siJlce all of this money comes from .wages and salaries nearly 90 percent,.,:~t·om people e&l:"Iaing less than $5,000, and the bnlk or it trom thos~f working in plants I do not hesi- , tate to say that the payroll savings plan is the greatest single !'actor we now have in protecting oursel vas against inrla tional')" spending. This is a great record, both from the standpoint or curbing inflation and from the standpoint o£ financing the war. However, I heartily endorse ;your present drive to improve that record, and I agree it must be improved it we are to keep pace with the ine.reasing demands or the war~ I therefore join you in calling upon the American people -- and upon labor and management particularly to do still JD()re. Addi-tional peop~e should be convinced of the necessity of participating. Everyone now on the payroll savings plan should materially increase the amount of bonds he is buying. We originally asked £or 10 percent, but now we need considerably more. I hope every American on a payroll will figure out for himself" the extent to Which he can curtail his spending, and will put every dollar of additional saving thus made into the payroll savings olan.
