The Log Vol. 34 No. 08

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.G v s • 1 9 5 1 \ , - =- ' • l f F R 0 M T H E EDITORS A p stal card arriH' tl ] , t nl nth I rom Bill Polfinbarger. a Hamiltoll Champion in tht en-ir ·. , \.dchC..,~>,(.'(\ l1..l th · Empluvce .\CLi•iti .- e tion,. iL re d .: Fort te' d , t-.hl.

' In connection with the discontinuation of the Extract Department, H. A. Helder, Canton division manager, on June 20 published the following "Fellow Champions" communication in CHIPS: "Fello" Champion : "After more than 40 years of continuoLlS operation, our Extract Department was discon tinned on June 11 due to the depl etion of the supply of chestnut wood. To :replace the tonnage lost by di con.tin,uation of this proces , ·we propose to increase the tonnage of pullp production £rom mixed hardwoods. "'!Ve are mindful of and appreciate the fine record tl1at has been made down through the vear· bY u;- ' J Champions in the Ex tract Department, and we are happy that all of them, except those who have elected to retire are being placed in other jobs where they can continue to assist us in the ucc~ sful operation of our plant. ' '\!Ve are grateful -for the tolerance and cooperation shown by all concerned in this major change." The story of Canton Champion's Extract Department is a long one . . . one that r eveals year and years o£ successful operations ... a story that tells how that de­partment of Canton Champion continued full scale operations during the trying day of the depres .ion years . . . and a story of men working side by . ide for two-score years in doing a job for Champion. There was a time and not too long ago that Cham­pion's Extract Department ran full capacity (300 ba.ITel every 24 hours) and was the world' large t sin(Tle- unit producer of 25 per cent chestnut extract.

On 01.u ·way to the garden .wi th the .wheel hoe we passed by the appl'e tree and watched tJ;e mother 1n-en building her nest. Soon she appeared with a tiny twig in ber beak, steadied herself on the perch, and duted it ide. Out again, she hopped to a n ear by branch, sang· happily, and darted away Ol'l another o·e.a ure hunt. Happ) , industrious, bu inesslike, and courageous i · the little wren. And wh en she sings it -eems that her tiny throat must burst with song. The garden oil ·was still loose. and tb.e dirt rolled in front of the cultivator blades as we moved ea sily down the row·s of carrots, beans, tomatoes, and sugar corn. It was a good garden, and unless heavy rains made the clay ground tight-packed, we always enjoyed working it. So the sun moved higher overhead and the perspiration rolled as freely as the soil underfoot. There was a commotion in Parsley's fron t field and we welcomed the hance to stop and rest on. the handLes o( the wheel hoe.

J.se he love 11·s fo ur beautiful horses. So young MT. Parsley took the pistol, examined it brie fl y, and circled slowly around the hone. The b 't; bay raised his h ead in answer to Lhe pat along the neck and dropped to the grass again. The little group drew back and young Mr. Par ley stood alone. H e squa tted in the grass a yard in front of the bay's head and brought the gun into po ition. All fonr of us stopped eating and sat with the ricrid attention that always marks the en trance of Death. There was a pause as young Mr. Parsley shook h is head and drew his hirt sleeve across his face. T hen his arm tensed and traight­ened and ther e· was. a sharp "Spat!" in the cool even in air. And while ·the horse writhecl and thrashed there was another ''Spat!" and it was over. That was the night before. And now we rested on the handles of the wheel hoe and listened to the dank. of the windlass and wa tched the bay's great head and shoulders move up over the edge of the truck bed nnd disappear beneath the tarpaulin. There was a fin al n ttLing of the chain. The motor roared and the truck backecl out of the lane and went r umbling clt.own the road. · From the vicinity of the ap ple tree the pair of w ns ang their hearts out, fi r t one gold n song and tl en an­oth er filling the m0rning air.
