The Log Vol. 14 No. 03

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.•• ' • -- - ·----- ~- --- TQL • • ~IY APRIL, 1931 :::::-:::::::=:=·-::::;-=-·.::Y.-=--=-:;::=i::::::::.:i:::==--=-=-=;;::;: ==r:=== :=:==:;::;::;::::::::=~=======-=~:<:;:::;: =-=-=-::::::-::::=;.; :::;;=:: ~=-== · 't-HE P.

They • were: exceeding the speed limit , driving on the wrong side of the road, and failing to grant the right-of-way. EXJceeding the speed limit was r esponsible for 21 per­eent of all automobile accidents. Dri ing on the wrong si'de .of the road 16 percent, and 31 percent for failure to grant ri:ght-of-w·ay. 'I'hese three v:rolations figured in ne&.rly three-fifths of deaths caused by auto accidents. Exceeding the speed limit was responsible for the greatest number of fatalities. The Travelers Insurance Company also tells us that more than 7,000 pedestrians 'met death during the year in automobiJe acci.dents primarily through their own fault. In the death of more than 5,000 other pede.s­tri; ans, the resptmsibility was shared joint1y. The in­juring of mo1"e than 150,000 persons Wl}S found ti"ace­able t0 the actions of pedest:ti.an'S, 45,000 to motorists and more than 110,00'0 injnries wexe due to the actions oi both. . . . 9,"752. persons were killed while attempting to cross tl'l.e tre.ets, and 113.,173 wer~e injured.
