The Log Vol. 37 No. 01

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; Pasadena, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.I \ - '/ ' --- _1 ::--; r - ,, ')( I l I t ' ' ' '· I J A N R J ' ' I ' _____ .., .. ... _...., _. ..... ::j .-- ·--- < .;'"" -' - / y I 5 • r ~I , ~ ).- I f 4 /? - • ' ' , Nll \ Jl < I l • • - • • • • • • -- ' ' r · ' 1...0 G .( - 1 ..:C HE ~.- \ ' OUR COVER \\'int er i. n 1adcR til · l\ utih and (lll'HS a hteak THill!

The up rintendent of St0-rage anq Material Handling, Mike Faber, told the manufacturers that the forks on the truck must be cl1isel-shaped so that the driyer could drive them under the load without any help. The manufacturers realized that they, as well as their future customer s, would gain if Mike's sugges­tion ·could be worked out, and so agreed to go halfway with Champion in the experiment. Oscar Baker Contributes an Idea . ltogeth.er, about seven tran mission housings in a tork. truck were badly mc:ssed up b efore they came up with something th.at was " it."

Since those fateful days when that ch~nge took place, Champion has installed a lot of Hlhdern labor- a-vin equipment, yet employment increased by over tWO at the Ohio Division alone. Incidentally, three of the men • who were r eplace by fork trucks have recently retired, ana the rest are still with Champion on ea. ier jobs. Now then, let's get to the question of the N. ·.c. News Lette·r - namely, which i afer, backward o.r for­ward driving of fork truck ? Without a question, the correct an ·wer c n he found . only through the men on the job. However, th surve of George Steele of the Ralston Purina Company show·ed that some c;ompanies insisted their men dr.iv 1~1 • for­ward, and some cornpanies insi ted that their men iriv onLy back ward.
