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. • Of H ~ M PI 0 N ~c T I V I T I ( S CONTENTS Champion Boys in the Armed Service _ _ _ _ 2 Tb.e Island of Malt.a _ _ _ 6' Our Honor Page _ _ _ 1 Editorials _ _ _ _ 8 CHAMPION FAMILY NEWS Hamil !on Division _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 Canton Division _ _ _ _ 26 Houston Division ______ . _· 39 Sandel'SviUe Division _ 44 • 1 9 4 3 VOL.

The Impregnable Island of Malta An Important Naval Base • \'Ve look at the map, \Ve realize why the British have clung o tenaciously to th at litt le island in the ~1editer­ranean Sea, ca lled !Ialta. While ·it is only about 18 miles ion and eight miles wide, . . yet it occu pies a most strategic pOSltlOn. l\fa lta is a stopping-off point for traffic between England and Ind ia. It is about equal di stance between Gibraltar and Alexandria, each a thousand miles a'~ ay . But Sicily is only 58 mile away, and the di stance to the mainland of Europe is 140,- to Africa 180 miles. N apoleon ca lled it "the fulcrum of the l\!Iedite rranean." Cicero at one time con ide red it a p lace of exile for himself, and an Italian Admiral poke of it as " an unsinka ble a ircraft carrier, permanentl y a nchored on Italy' doorstep." The pop ulation of Malta consist s of 270,000 per ons. They are d eeply reli ious and whi le under French ru le, prior to 1798, resented the reforms b rought a bout by the F rench, a nd broke out in open rebell ion, ap pealing to Lord Nelson and the Bri t ish for help. As a wholP-, it is said, the Briti sh ha e t reated the . f altese people pretty good, o-ra ntin more and m re home ru l , and the local ·governin r officials are, fo r the mo t part, elect d by the people. In 19 19, fo r a limited time the I land wa g ranted s-elf-gove rnment, but that ha " been ~ u p ended and M alta has resumed it s statu as a rown C Jon .

It is interes ing to n te th e following newspaper state­ments attributed to our soldiers, sailors and members of the Air Corps. l t is said, in an official army communique, Maj or-General George . Patton, Commander of United St a tes fo rces in French-Morocco, stated: ' It is my firm con­vi ction that the· great success attending the hazardous opera­tion carri ed out on sea and on land by the western tank force could only have b een possible through the jntervention of Divine Providence manifested in many ways." A pilot who r escu ed his crew from a cracked-up bomber, under extreme hazardous circumstance , aid: "I know that some power greater than mine guided my every action. I am glad that I was able to do the job but do not want any false glory to be sent my way over it." The story of Captain E ddie R ickenbacker and hi com­panions who spent twenty-one day in rubber rafts in mid­ocean, after his plane had been forced down, is another interesting incident which c o nvi nce~ us that God is able and will care for us if we only trust Him. After a few days drift­ing hither and thith er, t ortur ed by a tropic sun, without food and water, they realized that their only hope wa in a Divine Providence and God came to t heir re cue and gave them food like the manna which was miraculously supplied to the I ralites while wandering in the wilderness three thousand, five hundred years ago.

On the third da of August, 1492, Christopher Columbus , ai led out f the harbor of Palo 1 Spain on the most momen­tous voyage in hi tory, and landed on tl:e I sland of Guana­ha ni in th \Ve t Indies, October 12. A JOUrney of less than 4 000 miles required ten weeks ai ling in Columbus' day­today it r quire perhaps, 12 or 13 hours by air. It is aid that, today, wherever you may be, no spot on . the glob is farther than about 60 hours ~t way by air trans­port. 1 he fast ~s t steamboat today req t~ires about ~ve d.ays ttme between N w York and London , }:.<.,ngland-flymg ttme only 17 hour. 11 rom Cbicag t Fairbanks, Alaska, eight davs are required by land and sea travel-'by air 14 hours. B); boat fr m an Francisc to Australia 21 clays-air time 35 hours. h ·om ~w York to . hunking, hina, more than eleven thou and mil es. tJ1e sur{ac time is 32 days-air time les·s th an 40 hour ·. The se;a route from New York to Bom­bay India, is 9,400 miles-a voyage of about three weeks under the mo t favorable c ndition s,-"-the flying time is about 36 b urs. The post-war world will, no doubt, be al_mostly com­pletely changed by aerial transportation . Merchandise will be transported by air to and from the most remote corners of the globe; air travel will be increased a hundred fold and peoples of the earth will become more nei ghborly or even greater en mies. If we are actuated by the Spirit of Christ in our dealings with each other, this old world will be a better place in which to live, but if we ignore the teachings of the Christ, and each one of us go our own way and please ourselves, we cannot expe·ct peace, but a continuation of wars and bloodshed.
