HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1960-09-15, Page 3N.Y., told the third annual sci- entific meeting of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis in Miami Beach recently. Dr. Hut- chings himself has planted these suggestions in the minds of 200 anesthetized patients; and 140 had no need for pain-killing drugs after surgery. "Nausea and vomiting were decreased," he said, "and healing was appar- ently speeded." The new technique is based on a discovery by Dr. David Cheek, a San Francisco obstetrician who wondered why some patients suddenly, after surgery, hate their surgeons or are sure they are going to die. Using hypnosis, Dr. Cheek found the apparent- ly irrational attitudes were ra- tional enough: The patients were able to hear under anesthesia, end what they heard — and then "forgot" — were ill-considered remarks by the operating team. In 50 papers, the ASCH , gates made it clear; Hypnosis is becoming more widely accepted Ili medical and dental practice, .fi'iost commonly as an anesthetic. According to Dr. Seymour Hershman, ASCH secretary, bypno-anesthesia was used in 44,181 surgical cases last year-- and in 3,898 of them, hypnosis was the only anesthetic- The biggest single use was in child- birth: No other anesthetic was used for, 4,363 cases reported last year. Despite this, Dr. Hershman said, medical schools offer little or no instruction in hypnosis. Of 866 physicians, dentists, and psychologists who replied to an ASCH questionnaire, most said, they had learned the technique in college psychology courses, in postgraduate seminars -- and 80 acknowledged they learned from theatrical hypnotists. "I think more formal training in hypno- sis should be offered — if only to introduce more doctors to its possibilities," Dr, Hersh in an said. "We'll probably see medi- cal schools offer this training in a year or so, when the Ameri- can Medical Association com- pletes its present job of blue- printing a course in hypnotism." How Can 1T ? by Roberta Lee Q, How can I Make the te- reinoval of a. tiny, almost iMper- ceptible splinter easier? A. Touch the spot with some iodine. The wooden splinter will absorb the iodine and turn dark, which not only makes et easy to see and remove, but also cleanses the wound and helps avoid in- fection. Q. how can 1 save' time paint that inevitably collects in the indented rim of a :pint can, flows dowel the otitside 'of the can, and. is usually Wasted? A, If you'll make a practice of punching a couple of nail holes in the bottom of this in- dented rim, the paint will run back into the cat again. Q. Dow can I clean Sonic soil ed rieekties1 A, One very easy way to dry- eleeii your ties is to fill a. fruit jar to within two of three inches Of its top with some cleaning solvent, then drop in your tie, end screw the cover Oil tight,. Shake vigorously for several inintitea to loosen' the dirt. Fili- ally, remove the tie and hang it ,a Well ventilated place to dry. CAUTION; 'Ile sure to reinere- bete .when working with clean. ing fluids, that game of them ere inflerrimable and should be Wed iff a well-ventilated area! Hollywood Has A Private Language Maybe you think a Hollywood director directs. Rut actually he ereins," "helms," and *enegs." Moreover, a dancer "terpe" a song writer "lilts," a screen writer "scripts," a film editor "seise sore," and an Actor "the,spee' The unwary reader, such as 1, dipping for the first time into the trade magazines of show business, thinks himself sudden- ly in another world. And he is, lie's got to learn the language, was reading Daily Variety two weeks before I discovers ci that Clotharn, where everybody seemed to be going to or coming from, was actually New York City, And when show people go somewhere, they don't, just go there or fly there. They "sky" there, "wing" there, or "plane" there. Sandra Sweet, for in- stance, "AA'd" to Gotham; Rock Manners "TWA'd" to Hollywood; and Kim Slick "SAS'd" to Eur- ope. When in a special hurry, show people "jet" places. Or when not in a hurry, they "train" there. Probably the richest of all show-business vocabulary con- cerns television, better known as "teevee," The TV networks are "webs," all of which run "tele- series." "Vididol" is not a hair tonic but a leading man, states a writer in the Christian Science Monitor. You can even play games. For instance, repeat quickly after me: "tveepee, feevee, teevee vee- peel" Ii you're a song writer, then you're a lammister," "Inter," "songsmith," "t unes mit le" "tuner," and "cleffer," A photographer? Then you're a "lenser" and a "fotog." You can be an independent producer, which will make you an "indie." If you are a publicist, you're a "flack." And if you're Bing Crosby's sons, you are the "Cros- boys." Thinking of making a guest appearance on a television pro- gram? Then you do a "guestint." Remember that western you saw ? Well, it was an "oater." "The Glenn Miller Story"? It was a "biopic." And that murder mystery was a "meller." The show closed? It "shutter- ed." Dash Strong, the actor, end- ed his long association with Scoop Studios? Then, he "an- kled," I tell you, it's, a "boff" busi- ness reading those trade maga- zines, It's almost as good as go- ing to a "bash." Old Satchmo Still Percolates Back in 1935, before launch- ing into a long and astonishing professional career that led fin- ally to the major leagues (Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns), indestructible baseball pitcher Leroy (Satchel) Paige, 'performed for a Bismarck, N.D., team in the national semi-pro tournament at Wichita, Kans, In leading Bismarck to the champ- ionship, he won four games, lost none, and set a tournament re- cord that still stands. 60 strike- outs in 40 innings. Late last month, Paige returns, to the scene of this early triumph as a member of the Wichita Indians. Could he break his record?

A record for Britain? No, say meteorolo. gistI'les.ey have photographs Of hailstones more than six inches in circumference which fell at Richmond, Yorkshire, sixty- seven years ago. Pleturee taken reveal that the outer coating WAS of a white, opaque substance, The next coating was of clear ice and this was followed by alternate coatings of opaque and clear ice, Sense of these amaz- ing hailstones had as many as nine distinct coatings. Big hailstones are usually ir- regular and jagged in shape, which increases their menace. The biggest stones fall in the hottest weather b u t for some mysterious reason big hailstones rarely fall in the London area. The largest London stones have been no larger than filbert nuts. Try to guess how much da- mage hail causes, on an average, ever y year throughout the world, The figure is $150,000,000 which is mainly damage to crops, especially vineyards, and to glasshouses. In the south of Austria there are sometimes hailstones as big as golf balls that rip the foliage from trees, kill poultry and stun peasants working in the fields. Hailstones sometimes kill peo- ple. The most fatal Indian hail- storm, of which there's an au- thentic record, burst over Mora- elabad in 1888 when 250 lives were lost during an ice cannon- ade which pounded many of the victims to death. Big hailstorms do astonishing things, Hailstones riddled the tops of thousands of cars in Dal- las, Texas. In the foothills of Cathkin Peak, Natal, recognized- assembling place for storks mi- grating to Europe after winter- ing in South Africa, officials in 1931 noticed a great white patch up the mountainside. They climbed up to satisfy their curiosity and found thou- sands of storks lying dead, piled on top of one another with shat- tered wings and legs over an area of three-quarters of a square mile. They had been ela in by a violent hailstorm. Overhead clouds of other storks still circled, mourning their dead comrades. Hypnotism As An Aid To Surgery The patient is deep in anesthe- tized sleep, apparently oblivious of the surgical team tying off the final sutures after surgery. sitting beside him, the anesthe- tist suddenly bends over and whispers: "There was no serious disease found . . you will feel no pain , . . you will eat and sleep well, and enjoy your hos- pital stay." And when he awa- kens, the patient will most like- ly do all of these things. Farfetched? Not at all, Dr. Donald D.

It was housed at one place and an, other and did' not become per- manently settled until Septeme ber, 1955, when It moved into the Cafe Royal, a fashionable resort for wining and dining London- ers since Victorian dayse It was Charles Forte, the fatuous restaurateur, wile effect* ed the housing of the N.S.C, in its present site, An, enthusiastic member, hp felt that the historic club could only regain its former glories if it was sittuar.d in the beast of the West End. No one knows bitter then he how to provide a peeled even- ing's entertainment. His varied menu, which always ineludes the club's traditional baked potato in its *lea, never bile to put the members in a good mood for the fights, The N.S.C. committee, com- prising many notable names in all walks of life, is under his chairmanship, while the manage- ment is in the capable hands of David Thomas, a former flight- lieutenant in the famous 627 Pathfinder Squadron, whose ef- ficient organization and person- ality is responsible for the smooth running and success of the club. Thomas has been associated with the N.S.C, since pre-war days and since his appointment, three years ago, membership has reached saturation point, the number of tournaments has grown steadily and the standard of boxing incr• eased, The bouts are staged in an atmosphere that has no equal anywhere else in the world, The members and their guests sit on the four sides of the ring with a table for refreshments at hand for each group and waiters to attend to their wants between the rounds. At each end of the arena there is an illuminated board that de- notes the bout in progress and the number of the round being fought. Silence is a strict rule of the club during each fight. Ap- plause and comment are reserved for the intervals, Boxers from all parts of the country strive to get on a N.S,C. programme and many provincials make their London debut in the Cafe Royal ring. No fewer than ten boxers appear on each bill, so that in the course of a year some two hundred promising youngsters get their chance to face, the best nursery for fistic talent he Britain, writes Gilbert Odd in "Tit-Bits." Apart from their purses, box- ers at the N.S.C. can always be assured of a generous "nobbins" should they put up an exciting scrap and it is nothing for two boys to share a sum that amounts to more than the fee they re- ceive from the club, The record "nobbins" is held by two light-heavyweights, Gor- don Corbett, of Birmingham, and Alan Peacock, from Hull, who put on such a tremendous bat- tle for eight rounds that the de- lighted members' tossed no less than £98 into the ring at the finish. When the Duke of Edinburgh attended one of the club's tour- neys last May, he was greatly in- trigued with the way the mem- bers responded to the efforts of the boxers. On that occasion two middleweights shared over £40. Prince Philip was eager to know how the amount was divided. He was assured that the money is handed to the Board of Con- trol inspector, who splits it equally and 'hands each fighter his share without deduction of any kind. Fighters who appear at the N,S,C, box under ideal condi- tions. The modern chromium- plated ring has a ee in. felt pad under the canvas which protects them from head injuries in the case of a knockdown, an inno- vation that has recently been adopted by the Board Of Control for rings throughout England. A doctor is always at the ring- side, Apart from encouraging prom- ising talent wherever It can -be found, a bandsome trophy is awarded annually to the best prospect who has appeared at the club Charing the preceding year, He also receives a cheque for z.e100. The selection is made by the committee which invites suggestions from a special group of- Pressmen, of which J am proud to be a member, It also presents complimentary dinners to personalities in other realms of sport like Denis Compton, Sir Len Hutton, Stan- ley Matthews, Sir Vivian Vuche and the late Mike Hawthorn — and is rapidly gaining the influ- ence and prestige enjoyed by the original Covent.

Regularly every fortnight for, nine months of the s car, five hundred dinner-jacketed men wend their way in the Cafe Royal in Regent Street, London, at around seven o'clock on a Mon- day evening. They comprise the members of the National Sporting Club, to- gether with their guests, who enjoy a sumptuous meal, then take an elevator to the beauti- fully appointed arena where they watch in elegant comfort a se- lected programme of boxing. Women are barred from at- tending, because this is and al- ways has been an all-male club, although in recent years a Ladies' Night has been introduc- ed annually, a breinwave on the part of the management as It satisfies wifely curiosity as to how their husbands spend their time every other Monday night, There is a story, however, that in the days when the all-male Lale was rigidly enforced, Marie loyd, the famous music-hall singer, smuggled her way into the club clad in male attire and remained undetected throughout the evening. Afterwards she said that she had done it to win st bet. The N.S.C. first opened its doors on March 5th, 1891, at No. 43 King Street, on the north side of Covent Garden. The premises had been a variety theatre, which provided aim ideal venue for seeing boxing matches, the ring being set up over the front stalls, the Press and the boxing fraternity occupying the stage. For the next thirty-eight years, from September to Derby week in June, tournaments Were held every Monday night. The accent- niodation was limited to eight hundred and every man Wore evening dress, The majority of the members comprised the titled gentry, the President'being Lord Lonedale, the sporting earl who sponsored the famous than-Mien- ship belts that bear his name, The geeatest fighters that :Britain has ever produced and famous boxers ftent all over the World Were proud to box lit the Covent aartleri ring.
