Description

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.

The Impregnable Island of Malta An Important Naval Base • \'Ve look at the map, \Ve realize why the British have clung o tenaciously to th at litt le island in the ~1editer­ranean Sea, ca lled !Ialta. While ·it is only about 18 miles ion and eight miles wide, . . yet it occu pies a most strategic pOSltlOn. l\fa lta is a stopping-off point for traffic between England and Ind ia. It is about equal di stance between Gibraltar and Alexandria, each a thousand miles a'~ ay . But Sicily is only 58 mile away, and the di stance to the mainland of Europe is 140,- to Africa 180 miles. N apoleon ca lled it "the fulcrum of the l\!Iedite rranean." Cicero at one time con ide red it a p lace of exile for himself, and an Italian Admiral poke of it as " an unsinka ble a ircraft carrier, permanentl y a nchored on Italy' doorstep." The pop ulation of Malta consist s of 270,000 per ons. They are d eeply reli ious and whi le under French ru le, prior to 1798, resented the reforms b rought a bout by the F rench, a nd broke out in open rebell ion, ap pealing to Lord Nelson and the Bri t ish for help. As a wholP-, it is said, the Briti sh ha e t reated the . f altese people pretty good, o-ra ntin more and m re home ru l , and the local ·governin r officials are, fo r the mo t part, elect d by the people. In 19 19, fo r a limited time the I land wa g ranted s-elf-gove rnment, but that ha " been ~ u p ended and M alta has resumed it s statu as a rown C Jon . Soon after Italy nter d into th e present war-\Vorld \ ' ar 2, bombs from th sky be an t rain ttpon this i la nl. Since th en 1\.t!alta ha been bombed mo r than th re thou - and tirne s,-no oth er area of comparable size ha$ t en. s much punis-hment and ·urvived.

The I sland of Malta , b ecau e of it pivotal position in the Mediterran ean, is of the utmost strategic importance to the Allies a s a naval base to attack military in tallations in Sicily and Italy, also convoy ca rr yi ng men and munitions to the enemy. The l\!{altese, under the most f rightfu l condition have defended Malta so effectively , it is gen erally conceded a · one of the most brilli ant and outs tandino- military feats of hi story . It has magni ficen t h arb ors and bay and a plendid base for undersea craft. In the last three tbou .. and year , .i\r1alta has been in the poss ess ion of most of the leading I ovve rs · of E urope.

It is interes ing to n te th e following newspaper state­ments attributed to our soldiers, sailors and members of the Air Corps. l t is said, in an official army communique, Maj or-General George . Patton, Commander of United St a tes fo rces in French-Morocco, stated: ' It is my firm con­vi ction that the· great success attending the hazardous opera­tion carri ed out on sea and on land by the western tank force could only have b een possible through the jntervention of Divine Providence manifested in many ways." A pilot who r escu ed his crew from a cracked-up bomber, under extreme hazardous circumstance , aid: "I know that some power greater than mine guided my every action. I am glad that I was able to do the job but do not want any false glory to be sent my way over it." The story of Captain E ddie R ickenbacker and hi com­panions who spent twenty-one day in rubber rafts in mid­ocean, after his plane had been forced down, is another interesting incident which c o nvi nce~ us that God is able and will care for us if we only trust Him. After a few days drift­ing hither and thith er, t ortur ed by a tropic sun, without food and water, they realized that their only hope wa in a Divine Providence and God came to t heir re cue and gave them food like the manna which was miraculously supplied to the I ralites while wandering in the wilderness three thousand, five hundred years ago. Private J ohn Bart ex, who was on the raft with Ri .I enbacker , p r fe sed faith in · ad and a.id: " I've d ecided to become a minis ter of the ospel after th wa r .1 over ."
