_ It is said, the pai-nting is of ''exceptionally high quality and
unusual conception. Such elegant figures moving ·within
elaborate and spacious architectural settings are found in few
if any other Italian paintings."

than desirable. \Vith the plane

Hamilton or Canton and Hou ton ..
Now it will be pos ible to schedule and

within 24 hours' time. Here are two pictures of the new Champion airplane, ta.ken March 11 at Lunken Airport.
During the period of reconver ion
and a normal competitive co nditi o n ~

be even more important. It will be

immediately took off for a flight to Asheville and after a short stop there proceeded to Washington.

~~~ am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in uie, though he
were dead, yet shall be live." St.
John 11:25.
EASTER has a special significance-the resurrection
~rom the ci,ead- a symbol of life beyond the grave. Coming
Ill the spnng of the year, when all about us we see signs of
newness of life on one hand, and foretokens of immortality
on the other, we are persuaded, that faith in the resurrection
of Him who took the sting out of death, robbed the
grave of its victory, and assured man tha t be is destined to
live forever ; though the body retu rn to the dust from whence
it came, the soul shall find rest and security in Him who
• gave It.
Two thousand years ago, Ch rist left heaven, came to
ea rth, living among men, suffered and di ed upon the Cro
of Calvary for the remi ion of our sins, thu s, by his death
made it possible for us to have life et ernal through fait h in
Him as the Saviour of men.
This Easter day should bring n w hope and great er i r
to t he peoples of the world , because today, th world i
t hinki ng more seriou . ly abou " n arth p a . v od will
toward men" than ever b for . But, without th · s irit f
Christ ru lin in ur hearts we doubt if th r ill ev r b
lasting peace, and good wi ll a.rd m n.

Perceptual distortions of speed at low luminance: Evidence inconsistent with a Bayesian account of speed encoding
No full textOur perception of speed has been shown to be distorted under a number of viewing conditions. Recently the well-known reduction of perceived speed at low contrast has led to Bayesian models of speed perception that account for these distortions with a slow speed ‘prior’. To test the predictive, rather than the descriptive, power of the Bayesian approach we have investigated perceived speed at low luminance. Our results indicate that, for the mesopic and photopic range (0.13–30 cd m−2) the perceived speed of lower luminance patterns is virtually unaffected at low speeds (4 deg s−1). We show here that the results can be accounted for by an extension to a simple ratio model of speed encoding [Hammett, S. T., Champion, R. A., Morland, A. & Thompson, P. G. (2005). A ratio model of perceived speed in the human visual system. Proceedings of Royal Society B, 262, 2351–2356.] that takes account of known changes in neural responses as a function of luminance, contrast and temporal frequency. The results are not consistent with current Bayesian approaches to modelling speed encoding that postulate a slow speed prior

The magazine examines the impact that the Carolina Division of Champion Paper and Fibre Company had on the region, its economy, its folkways and its people since its founding in 1906 and includes a variety of articles and photographs.-:==:o::-::--- NUMBER 9 -----------j( , The Champion Magazine ,) f------------------,,..A--=c=-=E--1:- r
Seventy-five years in Carolina.
It w-as in 1906 that Peter G. Tho111son
arrived in North Carolina's Haywood County to
survey the virgin forests of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Champion's eventual decision to build a mill there, near the tiny mountain cove of
Pigeon Ford, marked the beginning
of the forest products industry
in western North Carolina, and to
some degree, of the New South.
This story examines the impact of
the company on the region, its
economy, its folkways and its people-
people like James A.
Trantham, a man in comfortable
equilibrium between two seemingly
contradictory worlds.
Trantham is a supervisor of shipment
control at Champion's pulp
and paper mill at Canton, North
Carolina, and he lives in a 200-yearold
house that served as a patriot's
command post in a pivotal battle of
the Revolutionary War. When he
is not working at the mill, Jim
Trantham builds exquisite musical
instruments-fiddles, banjos, guitars,
and dulcimers-from the walnut
and native red spruce of the
surrounding Great Smoky Mountains.
He is also an introspective
man who thinks a great deal about
the meaning of his home community
and its place ln modern times.
"There are trade-offs in everything;'
he says. "That is one of the
lessons of our world. It was a
mixed blessing, the coming of
industry to western North Carolina,
one of the last strongholds against
modernity. If your main interest
is nostalgia, you might lament the
loss of some of our old ways.
"But practically, when Peter G.
Thomson of Cincinnati brought his

to Canton in 1906, it meant that
the people of the Pigeon River
watershed could, at last, rise above
the subsistence level and gain a
measure of assurance and selfesteem.
The people here had been
cut off and ostracized for too long
by both the state and federal governments
ever since the end of
the Civil War:·
Haywood County was ignored
because it was poor and isolated:
geographical ly, it is like an

Carolina. The bowl tilts toward the
nonh, and Tennessee. Through a
gap in the mountains, the Pigeon
River discharges the waters of its
hundreds of tributaries toward the
lVA lakes. The rim of the bowl is
comprised of the most scenic
mountain ranges in all of the eastern
United States: the Great Smokies
to the north, the Newfound
range to the east, the Pisgah Ridge
to the west and the Balsam Mountains
to the south. Between, like the
veins of a leaf, are narrow stretches
of comparatively smooth land:
"balds" on top of the ridges and
miniature valleys or "coves" lying
near the base of the mountains.
Old Haywood County placenames
tell of the rugged topography.
Rabbit Skin is a section of
poor, thin soil. Tite-Run, on a
stream near Clyde, is a section of
road so narrow that it was difficult
to drive the cattle through. Sher-in

Pigeon River choked by rugged
hills, which had stoppe9 the logical
route of the highway for years.
Those highways were nonexistent
when Thomson, seeking a
dependable supply of high-grade
spruce pulp for his paper and coating
machines in Hamilton, Ohio,
stepped from a dusty day coach on
his first visit to Canton. The tiny
community of 400 was then the
next to last stop on the Murphy
Branch of the Southern Railroad-

And how the forest dominated!
Farmland around Canton at the
wrn of the centurv sold for as little
as 75 cents an acre. Although the
counl)r paid a bounty of two dollars
for each "wolf's sculp" (scalp),
insolvents seemed almost as
numerous as taxpaying citizens.
Farm wages for a ten-hour day
were a dollar for skilled men; 35
cents and dinner for women; 10 to
25 cents for children, accordjng
to age and size. Wheat sold for a
dollar a bushel, smoked side meat
brought 12V2 cems a pound, eggs
were 10 cents a dozen and a blacksmith
would charge only a nickel,
or nothing, to sharpen the plowshare
of some poor farmer.
The ear ly settlers of Haywood
County were short of coin, but they
pos!)essed energy and determination
in abundance. Many were Scot·
tish Highlanders, Germans and
Irish who rumbled down into the
region via the "Great Philadelphia
Wagon Road" or Oed up from the
malarial tidewater flats of the
coastal plain, across the central
Piedmom Plmeau to the enfolding
coolness of the Blue Ridge.
The most numerous of these
immigrants were the "Scotch-Irish:·
a term which refers to those Lowland
Scots who were forciblv relo·
cared to the North of Ireland by
England's King james 1. Larer, they
moved to America in droves, driven
by famine, economic hard times,
and "rack-reming" landlords.
Often clannish and firmly set in
his ways, the Scotch-Irishman had
this prayer attributed to him: "Lord,
grant that I may always be right,
for Thou knowest I am hard to turn:·
Of his proverbial thrift it was
said, "He keeps the commandments

son arrived on the North Carolina
scene. They made great contributions
ro the body politic as well as
churches and schools. Fierce warriors
and dedicated agriculturalists,
they also possessed a wealth of
mechanical skills. Capable coopers,
joiners, wagon makers, smiths, and
wheelwrightS awaited Thomson 75
years ago at the ford of the Pigeon,
where large scale pulp and papermaking
would gain their first major
foothold in the South.
Born of this stock, Jim Trantham's
kin have resided in North Carolina
for 150 years. He recalls from the
conversation of his father and
grandfather how naturally Champion
fit into the community.
All of the old-timers recognized
Peter G. for the tough, canny Scot
that he was-a survivor who had
overcome plenty of adversity, a man
who wasn't about to abandon the
people who had helped him prosper.
"My dad, Artis;· reminisces
Jim Trantham, "was a foreman in
the chestnut extract plant at Canton
when the blight shut it down in
1951. The company found a spot
for him as supervisor in the tree
nursery at Willits, North Carolina.
Benevolence like this was not
lost on the employees:'
By this time, Reuben B. Robertson,
Sr., Thomson's Yale-trained
son-in-law- both an attorney and
an engineer-was firmly in command
of Champion's Carolina operations.
He had come to Canton,
promising to spend 60 days. At the
end of 60 years, he had become
the driving force in what today is
Champion International Corporation:
a man completely trusted, as
few outsiders were, by his employees
from the coves, runs, hollows
and towns of Haywood County.
Pressed ro reflect further on the
unique quality of life around Canton,
Jim Trantham says, "As an instrument
maker and folklorist, I would
have to say that industry here has
actually helped in the survival
of tradition by nor intruding too
much, politically or socially, on the
life of its employees and the surrounding
community. Folk art
forms-which include dance, the
old ans and crafts, and music-are
as alive and well in Haywood
County as any place in the u.s:·
In nearby Waynesville, location of
a Champion plant for the extrusion
of plastic onto Canton paperboard
for Champion's DairyPak division,
and a large "cut-size" paper operation,
Clarence Donaldson gives
e loquent expression to the folk art
tradition . Donaldson, a tender on
the No. 20 paper machine at Canton,
is one of the region's most
honored wood-carvers. His work,
"cut our;· as he calls it, from black
walnut and yellow poplar of the
region, speaks to the people and
occupations of the Blue Ridge:
blacksmiths, woodchoppers, moonshiners
and just plain Old Codgers.
Quick to point out that these
pieces are not caricatures, Donaldson
says proudly, "They're not
dumb people, not ignorant. People
from outside the Appalachian
region still think of hillbillies, like
the Hatfields and the McCoys, the
old feuds and all. They think that's
all there is down here. But time
is gonna prove 'em wrong!"
Donaldson is a second generation,
30-year employee of the company
who allows that he was "raised
and bred on Champion:· He sheds
some light on the folk tradition
when he uses the word "communication"
to describe the energy
that flows between his knife and
the wood he carves: "It's ajeeling
between you and the piece you're
working on. To me there's nothing
more beautiful than wood. The fact
is that man just can't duplicate it.
Seems like a piece of wood appreciates
you and you appreciate it'

Appreciation for Donaldson's
work is now widespread. It has
been circulated in the Smithsonian
Institution's collection of Deep
South folk art and is on display at
the Appalachian Folk An Museum
in Asheville, North Carolina.
If wood carving is silence made
tangible, then clog dancing is the
oral tradition brought to stereophonic
fever pitch. Picking them up
and laying them down at 140 beats
per minute in perfect time with
the fiddle and banjo, their heels
and toes augmented by metal shoe
taps, Canton's Rough Creek Cloggers
speak thunderously with their feet.
Director Bob Phillips, supervisor
of communications and community
relations at the Canton mill, gets
no argument when he says, "There
are no fat clog dancers!" He
explains that clog is an Appalachian
variant of the square dance, with
traditional figures and accompany·
ing calls, bur in ultrafast time as
opposed to the daintier, mincing
"cowboy" or "country-western"
square. Clog also reflects the ethnic
heritage of the region-deriving
from Scottish Highland dancing by
way of the Virginia reel, also the
Irish "Caley" jig and the incorporation
of some Black tap dancing
steps. Typically, a Canton dogger
keeps his or her back stiff while
"walking the king's highway;' promenading,
doing the do-si-do or
performing some other figure tO
the calls of Carroll Nelson and the
rocketing fiddle and banjo of
"Chinese Breakdown" or an equally
frenetic tune.
In their five years as a group,
these two dozen dancers (of whom
16 compete as a team) have captured
most of the prestigious
square dancing championships in
the Southeast. In addition ro Director
Bob Phillips, four ocher
Champion employees are Rough
Creekers: Harold Black, Frank Ford,
Tim Smathers and Gene Belt. Phillips
is right: there is not one fat
clog dancer among them.
Under the old ways in Haywood
Coumy, square dancing was the
only social event that both sexes
could regularly join in. Other activities
were segregated by gender
and were often more work than
play. The men had their logrollings
and barn raisings; the women
their bean stringings and quilting
bees. The quilting art has survived
to a remarkable degree in the
Canton-Waynesville area, and still
follows many time-honored patterns
brought ro the highlands by
the Anglo-Saxon forebears of
today's quilters.
At a recent quilting bee in the
Newfound Community home of
Mrs. Elza Whitted (she is the
mother of two Champion employees),
five ladies proudly displayed
some of those patterns: the dahlia,
basket, Dresden plate. fence row,
and pansy. Then the ladies took
their places about a huge frame
dominating the living room and
resumed stitching on a king-size
quilt showing all of the 50 United
States together with the state flowers.
(North Carolina's bloom, the
dogwood.) QuiltS as time-consuming
to make as this one command
up to 300 in today's marketplace.
Mrs. Whitted's circle dedicates
the proceeds from its sales to Newfound's
Zion Hill Baptist Church.
The talk at Mrs. Whitted 's circleof
family, friends, schools, and
community-must have been an
echo of those other quilting bees
so many years before. Long the
only all-female form of amusement
and recreation, the bee could also
serve a utilitarian function. When a
young lady decided to make her
first quilt and the women of the
community gave her a quilting bee,
the event served as an informal
engagement announcement.
Conversation at the bee, which
could also be likened tO the modern
bridal shower, was predominantly
"girl" talk: advice (sought or
otherwise) to the prospective bride
on the mysteries of matrimony. The
young lady's finished quilt represented
her membership in a loose
but very real society of hard work
and high standards of achievement.
More than one observer has said
that Lhere was no time for nervous
breakdowns in that society.
A keeper of the work ethic, Elza
Whitted says, "If I didn't have a
hobby, l'd get in a car and loafer

somewhere:· Her adroit switch on
the verb "loaf" is a pure example of
how the spoken language of the
Blue Ridge retains its authentic
regional character without departing
too far from standard English.
(Indeed, it could be argued that the
language is less debased here,
because of its affinity to the original
tongue, than it is in the bureaucracy
of government and corporations,
and in much of the media.)
This is not to say that Elizabethan
English is still spoken locally. But
the apt and colorful speech of
the Southern highlands can still be
heard in Haywood County. Champion's
Bob Phillips, referring to
a small, independent sawmilling
operation that would be termed a
"peckerwood" in most lumbering
areas, calls it a "fist and skull" operation-
most appropriate for a
marginal installation of its kind. A
locution still occasionally heard
around Canton is to "brogue it"-a
verb meaning walk, coined from
the word brogan, for the shoes
once worn here. Bodaciously,
meaning bodily or entirely, is still
encountered too, but the user nowadays
is probably being self-consciously
rural, or just plain cute.

the future of Canton, urbane Hazel

pany. Ramsey, who is serving his
third term as mayor of Canton
( population 4700), retired from
Champion in 1976 after 39 years of
service with the company-the
last 15 as director of safety. Sitting
in his office in Canton's ultramodern
city hall, his wall adorned
with a coveted 1980 "Community of
Excellence" award from the governor
of North Carolina, Ramsey
has an ideal vantage point from
which to view Champion's historic
impact on the area.
He recalls Champion's primacy in
its concern for the health, safety
and economic welfare of its
employees: longevity bonuses for
all workers, pioneering wage incentives
to stimulate productivity, company-
paid medical bills and
hospitalization for accident victims.
And he details the Champion Relief
Association: "It administered the
company store, delivering coal
or firewood to the homes of company
employees at a fraction of
the price charged by other vendors.
A percentage of store profits was
paid back to worker-members in
cash or negotiable scrip at the end
of the year. Champion would
donate idle land so the association
could till it at a profit. And if a wage
earner was really up against it, the
association would tide him over
uoril better times:·

emergencies, such vital equipment
as valves, hoses, connectors, etc.
Taxpayers (of which Champion is
the largest, contributing some
500,000 per year to city coffers)
also enjoy significant savings by the
city's buying at discount certain
bulky commodities-salt for snow
