4) a) The
Daily Mail, Wednesday November 22, 1944 - He Put 200 To Sleep, Man With
'Purring Voice' by Daily Mail Reporter ~ Mr. Victor Ahlheim, "the man
with the purring voice" - who put 200 Belfast University students to
sleep by hypnotism, told me yesterday of remarkable wartime cures by
hypnotic methods. As guest of the Belfast Dental Students'
Association on Monday night, Mr. Ahlheim, 27 years old American Civil
Service technician, first hypnotised his assistant, then a volunteer
student. Next he told his audience that it was their turn to be
hypnotised. He asked the students to fix their eyes on a watch on
the table, and not to relax for a moment. His voice became low, earnest,
and soothing . . . "You are getting tired now," he whispered. "Your eyes
are closing. You are going to have wonderful dreams. You are going to
float into space . . You want to go to sleep. You are going to sleep."
Roy Thompson, 19-years-old medical student, of Victoria Gardens,
Belfast, told me: "There is no doubt we all took part in a remarkable
experiment. Mr. Ahlheim simply soothed us to sleep. You gradually felt
yourself going over. I did fall asleep and went over. "One chap sitting
on top of the organ at the back of the platform was in danger of
toppling from his perch. He was clearly hypnotised. "Mr. Ahlheim snapped
us out of the trance to save him. Had it not been for this chap I feel
sure nearly everybody in the hall would have been hypnotised, or at any
rate everybody who was willing to undergo the test." BLIND EYE CURED
"Hypnotism is useful in cases of mental shock," Mr. Ahlheim told me. I
put the shocked person under hypnosis and counteract the shock with
suggestion." (part words missing) He told me of Marie Wright, of
Alliance Parade, Belfast, whom he treated for a "lazy" eye. "A certain
section of the brain was not functioning properly," he explained, and
the girl was blind in one eye, he gave her hypnotic treatment, and the
sight was restored. "I have treated a large number of war-shock
cases. I insist, of course, on a doctor officiating."
"Far-reaching experiments are being made in Chicago University, and the
United States Air Force is utilising hypnotism to 'telescope' training.
It was imperative to cut down the training period," said Mr. Ahlheim,
"and a 16 weeks' training course was reduced to one of six weeks by
hypnotising the airmen before they went to bed at night and giving them
lectures through earphones while they slept."

Most Vital Race of Career for Famous Cyclist. 81 Lives Were at Stake,
Story of Dunkirk Exploit. Geo. Brockerton (photo), famous Ulster
racing motor-cyclist, and now a soldier in the British Army, has been
earning fame of a different kind - as a hero of Dunkirk. A few
days ago a letter appeared in a London newspaper extolling an unknown
"Tommy" who saved 81 men from almost certain death during the
bombardment of the town. They had been entombed in a cellar and were
almost at their last gasp when he came to the rescue, but in the
subsequent heavy shelling he disappeared. Now the men he rescued,
calling themselves in the letter "A lucky batch from Flanders," want to
know the identity of their rescuer and, if he is still alive, to get in
touch with him. In his coat, which was found after the bombardment, was
a pocket book containing two photographs - the only clue to his
identity. These were published alongside the letter. One was of a motor
cyclist with an array of trophies, the other of a soldier in uniform.
When the paper reached the "Telegraph" office, members of the staff at
once recognised George Brockerton, of Coleraine, well known as a
competitor in the Ulster Grand Prix and other famous Irish motor-cycle
events. "Why, that's George!" A "Telegraph" reporter
immediately got in touch with his brother, Mr. Charles Brockerton, who
is in business in Belfast, and showed him the paper. "Why, that's
George," he exclaimed, "Whatever has he been doing now?" And then when
he had read the letter: "It's just like him to do a think like that. If
there's anything with a risk in it trust George to be in it." Mr.
Brockerton's pride in his brother was mingled with relief at the
knowledge of his safety, a fact, which he had learned at the week-end.
"Oh no, he's not dead," he said. "My mother had a telegram from him on
Saturday, handed in at a cross-Channel port, saying: 'Arrived to-day,
safe - George.' In those circumstances we are not worrying." Here
is the story of the affair as told in the letter:- "We were in a big
cellar in Dunkirk during the first heavy bombing raids when the house we
were in was caught by five bombs which wrecked the building and set it
on fire. All our means of escape was blocked, and the only means
of air was through a small crack in the three-foot wall. The cellar was
getting very hot and a lot of the boys were getting very weak. The only
thing we could do was to make as much noise as possible with our dixies
- also sing. "Then we heard a voice shouting outside: 'Where are
you?' After about two hours trying to break through he said it was a
hard nut to crack, and he would have to get a crowbar off a lorry some
distance away. He returned in about ten minutes with a piece of lead
pipe and said: I'm pouring some drink down to keep you going till I can
get back with some better tools.' The Rescuer's Return
"Everything went silent except for the terrific explosions of the bombs
every fifteen or thirty minutes. Then we heard a screech of brakes, and
then a voice. He was back again. He asked would we take another risk of
an explosion. We said we were quite willing to risk anything if it was
quick. Then we heard him making a hole with a chisel and a hammer. Then
the voice shouted: 'Hold tight and God bless you all.' "In the
next second a terrific bang went off. Everybody was covered with bricks,
etc., and nearly choked with smoke and dust. He shouted in: 'I have done
it. Hold tight,' and with a few bangs with a heavy sledge he had a hole
big enough for us to crawl through. We were so much exhausted that we
couldn't gather enough strength to rush out, so those of us that were
able he escorted to a park where there were a lot of trenches.
"The next thing he did was to take his small lorry away and bring back a
load of wines, cakes, tinned foods, sweets, etc. - a load that would
have done a regiment. We started to thank him, but he wouldn't listen to
us or give us his name. He said: 'That's my hobby, risking my life and
stepping on the edge of things. I get a good kick out of life that way.'
"He then, to our amusement, went to the lorry and brought a wee brown
bag out and started to do conjuring tricks on top of the trenches. He
shouted 'Good-bye, you will all get away safe.' "The bombs were still
dropping very close, and we could see, when we dared look over the top
of the trenches, that the side of his waggon was blown away, also that
the petrol tank on the side of the lorry was torn open. "The only clue
we have is this wallet. It was found in a pocket of his coat which was
partly burned. We cut the coat up in small pieces for souvenirs of the
man who saved our lives - an unknown bombardier. "I am writing this in
the train where we are all safe, and the boys wish you to do your best
and deliver the wallet to him or his people, and thank him for what he
did for us." [The father of the "unknown bombardier," who is a
well-known figure in Coleraine, lost his sight while serving with the
Ulster Division in the last war. The family resides on the Portstewart
Road, Coleraine] c)

Medallion Side's Win, "Inst." and Royal Academy (Belfast) Medallion
fifteens met in a friendly match at Belfast on Saturday. The Coleraine
team, after an even first half, ran out good winners by a goal and two
tries (11 points) to a try (3 points). Within a few seconds of the
kick-off, Hyndman ran through for a score, McGrath converting. The
succeeding exchanges were evenly distributed, and before the interval
Academy reduced the lead with a try. Coleraine held the balance of play
in the second half, and tries, both unconverted, were added by Hyndman
and C. Craig. C.A.I. - B. Smith; Dimond, Hyndman, Pinkerton, Small;

The great motor car race at the Ards Circuit on Saturday was not more
interesting to the onlookers than that which took place at Portstewart
on Saturday. To be correct there were two events; the first in the
morning was not regarded as an altogether satisfactory test, but the
final event in the afternoon was decisive. It is worthy of note that all
the "motors" were of native construction; some of them were of neat
design; the "chassis" of others hinted that they had originally been
intended for another purpose; the wheels may at one time have done duty
on baby carriages; some were painted in gaudy colours, others blatantly
proclaimed their association with a well-known household cleansing
commodity. . . . The second race was handicapped and controlled by a
member of one of the learned professions on holiday at the resort. At
the dropping of the starting signal six or eight "motors," each in
charge of a pilot and a "shover" started off round the course at
Heathmount. While the speed depended almost entirely on the stamina of
the "shover," the race was a novel and enthralling one. Spills were not
infrequent, but the only mishap worth recording was an abrasion to one
of his toes sustained by a pilot, when his entry ran off the course and
came to grief at a "pit." The prize-money was expended in the nearest
ice-cream shop.

b) Town Clerk
Posts Own Dismissal Letter ~ Daily Express Staff Reporter
Portstewart (Co. Derry), Thursday. - Mrs. Francis Martin, Town Clerk of
Portstewart for 18 years, sealed an official-looking envelope and
carried it to the pillar-box outside the town hall tonight. The envelope
was addressed to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Stormont, Belfast, and
contained a copy of a resolution passed by eight votes to three by
Portstewart Urban Council calling for the dismissal of their town clerk.
Unperturbed Town Clerk Martin walked home after posting the letter
asking the Government to relieve him of office. He told me later:-
"Before anything can be done to remove me an inquiry must be held. I
asked for this inquiry two months ago following the council's refusal to
delete from the records a vote of censure on me for neglecting my
duties. "The Council were in order in dealing with the motion
asking for my dismissal. They are entitled to do that, but the final
decision rests with the Ministry." c)

c) Nothing is
Secret. DO you know how to tell a person's age and the month he was
born? It is easy if he answers properly. Yet he need not speak a word.
Ask him to write down these figures in succession:- The month he was
born (1 for January and 3 for Marsh etc.) Multiply by 2, Add 5, Multiply
by 50, Add 115, Add age, Subtract 365. You will find the final total
gives month and age, such as 735, i.e., born July age 35.
d) Several of the
boys of the resort have constructed a land yacht for sailing on the
strand. It is made of four bicycle wheels set on a chassis, and the
means of motion is provided by a sail. Given favourable conditions, the
"vessel" is expected to provide plenty of sport for the youthful
"mariners." Perhaps the first to introduce one of these land yachts at
the strand was the late Rev. Leslie Smith, a former curate of St.
Patrick's, Coleraine. That was many years ago, and the strange craft
attracted considerable attention at the time.

4) a) Slieve
Foy, "Roamer" Climbs Carlingford Mountain, Dull clouds wrapt their
ghost-like arms around the far-off mass of Slieve Foy, and even the
occasional glints of sunlight which filtered through the haze over the
bay showed little promise of favourable conditions for an ascent of the
King of the Carlingford Range. But "Nothing attempted - nothing done."
so I made a start for Cooley. As I cycled out the Newry Road I met
another wheelman who wasn't particular where he should go and promptly
fell in with my suggestion that we climb Slieve Foy together. I
certainly was in luck, as mountain-climbing can be very monotonous and
lonely. Forking to the right at Mount Oliver, we had a pleasant run
through beautiful trees to Ballymascanlon - a never-failing source of
peaceful charm. It's a gem! A real old world picture in a leafy frame!
Another mile or so we passed Bellurgan Station and sped under the
Railway and up the hill beyond. The pleasant fragrance of the hedges,
the songs of larks high up in the sky and the smooth purring of my tyres
on the road, made one feel thankful for health and a sense of true love
of all that generous Mother Nature has bestowed on our Island. We passed
neat cottages adorned with climbing roses, and well-kept gardens with
hedges clipped into the forms of baskets, birds and beasts. The blue
smoke was rising straight in the still morning air and an old man
sitting outside one of these cottages seemed to have a competition
between his clay pipe and the cottage chimney as to which could produce
the most smoke. However, he seemed to be enjoying it. CLICK
