| 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. • t-' • • • • • . . •' - 1>,. t .; . \ THE STORY OF PAPER --Told in pictures-- Picture N'<D. 3 .

There are no glass bot~ tle.s in the pla.nt of Dairy Sealed, Inc. There are, however, two kinds of paper milk container · there, our own and th e Sealcone. This has given us a chance to watch our own container in direct competition vvith a competitive paper · milk container in the arne plant. Within the last month, the fir t automatic tine of machinery for the manufacture of the quart milk container wa.s placed in operation at Hudson Factory. This allowed us to change over the semi-automatic machin-ery in Jersey City to the manufacture of half. pint Canco milk containers, and we are now producing · many thousand containers a day of this smaHe1· ize. For · some years, the Borden Company has upplied thousands of half-pints of milk per day to the Public Schools of New York. This year, Borden decided to pack thE:ir .schoql milk in our half-pint containers. To announce this move to the school authorities, three sample half-pint containers, together \vith a letter f1·om the director of our Home Economic Department~ and a folder describing the advantages of ou1· container, were delivered by West~rn Union me senger on September 4th to all school principals, cafeteria manacrer and cooking teacher · in the Public eh 1 of Greater New York.

The law is designed to provide for a system of old age benefits and induce the States to enact unempl'Oyment in urance laws. · It rests with the North Darolina General As&.ernbly to determine whether North Carolina is to have a So-. cial Security Law providing unemployment in<;urance, and no payments to "'rorkers can be made until sueh a Jaw has been passed. Contributions for the federal part of the unemployment insu1·ance prog1:·am are made b:¥· the employer only. - . ·whether this act be ultimately found vahd or not, it stands as a lawful mea nre until the eour~ declare othe1"Wise. Meanwhile the provision.S of the laws have to be complied with. \'•le are compelled to k,eep a complete record of the per onal history of every emplo ee, in addition to his or her employment and earnings record. This prO:posed physical examination, whatever the re.sult, will not- in any way impair your eligibi lity or disqualify you to receive benefits f1·om either the Unemployment Insur~ ance or Old Age Pension Fund. · tates that so far have adopted the Social Security Law1 require that the personal record of each~ employee giv,e hjs sbte of healths physical defects, etc.~· and the.s'€ questions cannat be faithfully answered unles based on a pby ical examination of :recent da.te. CO"ntributions towards Old Age Reth·ement Benefits do not begin until Januar r, 1937, and are paid equally by both employer and employee, at the foHowing rates~ based on the '''ages earned: 1% beginning 1937; 1%% beginning 1.940; 2~ beginning 1943; 2yL% begimry_ing 19481 and 3% begifl:ning 1949. Old age benefits wm be paid by the Federal Government.

Continents VARIO S supersti ions as to the eff~ct of th() :q1oon upon health, crop , weather, the t1de , etc., have existed in a11 ag s. Howev r, there may be more truth in the ancient claims than we are inclined to ad~ll.it or have understood. The fact is clearl. established that the rise and fall of the tides is oo;u ed by the pull of the moon. We might not be so sure of this, however, if the tide did not always come up ·with the rising of the moon, and go out with the setting moon. If the moon always ro.se and set at the same hour we could not prove that th~ tide was effected by the mcon, but as the moon travels around the earth in twenty-eight days, it rises nea:rly half an hour later every d.av: The tides rise just so much later ~very day also. There is no doubt .that the moon produces the tides, and that the height and nature of the tides vary from day to day or month to ,month, depending upon the position of the moon and the t:arth. · The effect of the moon on fish and catchin1; fish was attested last year by the British Ministry of. Agr icultur:: and Fisheries, which has been engaged for a number of years in an attempt to find out why the number of herrings:c:aught by British fishermen varies so widely from time to time. It wa.s found that the ca:tches varied up or down from day to day; with the largest record when the moon was full. · A great many people believe that the weather., cro~ and our health is effected more or less by · the moon. Sdentists have always ridiculed the idea that the moan can effect the growth of crops, and that the phase of the moon when grain, potatoes, etc., should be pjanted, can have any significance. . · 'From time immemorial people believed tha:t moonlight stirred the emotions and affected the mind. Moonbeams seem to 1nake lovers more loving, thus the origin of the word ' 1honeyrnoon/' which refers to the phases of the moon, meaning, (lno sooner full than it begins to wane." And when the mind became deranged, men were called lunatics, from the word lzmaticus or luna, meaning moonstruck-lunacy-insane, formedy supposed to be intluenc~d by the changes of the moon. The latest discovery by science, and perhaps the · most difficult to believe, is tl1at the "att:Faotion of the moon stretches out the whol'Et continents of A,sia and Europe a little when the moon is. in one position and allows the continents te snap baclt again, like a released rubber band, when the moon, in anotht~r position, exe~i:s less pull.'' During a part of eaeh month, when the moon's stretehi:ag force is at it.s greatest China and Europe are sixty feet fat-thex apart than ~ hen the mo'On'~ autrac~ion is wo king the other way. Astron~ mer. als<> be!J ev.e that tl e wobble of th . rods o{ th whole earth is c us·ed by t he pull of th mo n. If the attraction of the mo n i so g at a t . parate continents,~ cause the axis of the arth to wobble and the W~aters of t:he ocean t() pile up on th &ore, perh.ape the weather, vegetation and anitnal life may al . o be affected b tl1e change of the moon to a gr;eater degree than science is willing- to admit.

Disco·ver Your P·ovier There are in all ol us, hidaen reservoirs of power and of ability. whose existence other people do not sus.-· pect. Perhaps we ourselves do not know that they are there. Perhaps we do not know that we have them, but we go along comfortably without using them. We don't want to be bothered to dig down and find them. We hate to make the effort. Oh, what's the use! We're having a jolly good time as it is. Being bigger, or d'uing .something that the world calls. betteT takes effort, even if it is only the effort of being different. Then, pe.rhaps just out of pique, just to show that you can do what somebody says you can't, vou make the, effort.

The Book Mill shotgun pointers went down the lane of defeat to the tune of a one-pigeon margin as a result of a shooting engag.ement last week with the snappy ~oda Mill quintet headed by Arlie Smathers. The Soda Mill boys were led by "Ei" Hartshorn, who smashed 23 X 25 on the newly regulated skeet layout which now conforms 100 per cent with the laws :recently prescribed by the National &keet Shooting Association. Glenn Smathers, Arlie and his son, Earl Smathers, piled up good marks for the Soda Mill while Kelley Buckner, Hub Lowe, Duckett ana Ro-y V\lilde also made good records on the new layout. Nelson Benzing and Paul Craig, .of the Main Office crew, made their debut on the new skeet layout and shot creditable scores whieh will eventually lead them amon st the best in loeal territory.

For the purpose of supplying this nourishing lift in the middle of the morning and aft~rnoon this little .store made its debut in our area and it is weleomed by each and every one. The machine men wish to extend their hearty congratulations te> Mr. Walker and :Mr. Rob- · ertson upon this "nourishing" idea. .,.,._X·• • -.
