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. VOL. VIII CANTON, N.

For Andy undressed and sat down on a burr But rose up again very quickly And when he perceived what it was, was relieved, Tho h is grin was mest ghastly and sickly; Then Mooney• rolled over to see what was wrong And let out a war whoop plood curdling and long. Now G-illis and Calvjn were r ,oom-matel;' that night, And Floyd' bed with "burrs was well b-aited, And when he undres sed he said : "Well, -I'll be blest.

They heard in the hallways when Floyd hit th~ f]Qor Yelling, "Quick Bill, and pu,l1 down the curtain. And t;qrn on the Light for I'~ sure that tonight A .rattlesnake struck me forr certain." And just about then there was further commotion For .Jim Hall had taken a similar notion. -- It then dawned on Mooney and Andy McClure That the mat-ter was still not c0mplete.d So they went with delig'ht to the beets of Newt ·Wright And Uncle Bill, w)lere they depleted Their st ck of young ch estnuts by tucking a;way A burr h ere and there in th b ds , so they say .

In Aesop's Fables we read t ha t , "'One fine day it occurred to the members of the Body -that t hey were doing all the work, and the Stomach was getting all the fo od. So they held a meeting, and after a long discussion decided to strike, till the Stomach consented to do its proper share of the work. So the Hands refused to handle the food, the Mouth refused to r eceivf' it and the Teeth hacl no work to do. But after a day or two the Members began to find that they themselves we1·e not in a very active condition; the Hands could hardly move, the Mouth was · all parched and dry, while the Legs were unable to suppor t the rest. Thus they found t ha t even the St9mach in its dull, quiet. way was doing necessa1·y work for the Body, and that all must wor k together or the Body would gp to pieces." When you think of your body; which is comp osed of feet, hands, mouth, heart, lungs, stomach, in testin es, liver, kidneys, blood, etc., do yoq realize how necessary to good health it is that each of these various parts function properly? That is, each member or organ has a specific work to do, and should ei.th er member fail to per­form properly, the whole machine, or b0dy would suffer . Perhaps no better example of co-opera.t·ion and coordination, can be found, than that whieh we have in t hese bodies of ours and carry arou.nd with us all the time. ~ For instance·; our bodies need food for two purposes, first , to build up and maintain the tissues of our body, and, second, t o · furnish" the energy needed for t he work we have to perf orm and the warmth which must be maintained in t he bod y. Therefore, if the tissues of our b od ies are supplied with mate1·i 1 for their growth and repair and the necessary energy and wat:mth we need, there must b co-:operation and a coordination of t he various members and organs of this human machine. The hands or conveyors, carry t he food to t he gdnd er~-th e mouth, where it is properly ground befoy it passes to the d ig~st '1" -the stomach. In the stomach the food is thoroughly mix d w ith gastric juice and readily digest d-separnted and lissol ed .so that " it can be taken into the blood v ~sse l s of the body through the waJJs of the intestines. The liver or storage house, is ere gr ~t S2 T.Vie . to the bod in several ways; especially in it ~ abiJjty to produc b1le whicJ1 id in digestion, and in moving the f >d t } rough th int tin s and sup­plying sugar to the blood. The kidneys or -sewage system, r among th mo t import~nt of t he excr tory organs. A man. could not 11 e more tlHm a day • • if the ac'ti n of hi whi h is to by the 1iv r. kidn •ys should ase. The chief function Ul.' Ctl which is gah e;red f.:rom the blood . 'rh lu1 s at th m st imp dant O't'g n of espiration. By re-sptrfl. tion, oxyg 'n is L:akc:?,n from th uir a.nd canied by th2 1' eor-u' i~s to the cells o:f · ·h bocly. The blood tak s up in exchange the rb n d ioxid and ot.h ·r t.issn, W~l'tc, and eonv2ys. them. hack t the lung·, where they are giv<m out to the air. The h art .is the central organ, or power hous:::: o£ tbc whol human syst m or machine. Ie is the pumping station which keeps th bl od fl,wjng through our bodie<S and the faHuto of whieh would put the whol rna hin out of busin2ss. Or th failure of a1:1y of the parts m.er).J:;ioned ab v to function properly, will impair or destroy the usefulne!'ls f the wb le body, Where one hundr~d percent co-operation and coordination wm mean a perfectly healthy body. Thus we havg a great 1esson in co~operation and coordination and its importance exe.mplif:ed. Moral : The better cooperation and coordination of the em­ployees we have in t he various departm ents, the more successful wm be the institution, in which we are employed. OPPORTUNITY ' A wit once remarked that the reason that he did not want to be a general wa,s because the position. aif3red no opportunity for ad­vancement. This reminds us that there are com-pen ations f<Fr be­ing in the ranks,-there is plenty of opp0rtunity for advancement. One frequently hears the complaint ihat nowadays there are no opportunities forr advancement, that l"hops and fact0:ries are o organized that there are no opportunities for the di ~play of indi­vidual skill and consequent advancem ent. uch a complaint re s largely upon the a.ttitude of the worker toward- his job and it is very necessary that each of -us should realize the importance of our particular job in its relation to t he :final product. In the mak­ing of pulp, Ol' paper, or extract, . or caustic oda every j ob i · part of the essential process for t he m::tking of 11 good product, and each job contributes dir ectly to that product and the re ultin.g quality of that product depend upon the care and intelligen put into each job. Every job :is important, and it is ·ong to belittle one's job or to r eg rd it ,, ith contempt.
