Page 2 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Thursday, June 24, 1948 Chairman Reveals Young Fund Passes $1,800 Mark Gary, 19 months, and Bryan, three, children of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Young of Bronte, were burned to death cidentally through a fire" which consumed their barn dwelling April 27th, a five-man coroner's jury decided last Friday, Coroner Dr. W. M Wilkinson, Oakville, presided. Previous evidence had been taken May 7th, when the jury first convened to inquire into the deaths of the children. Because Mrs. Young was In hospital suf- fering from burns she received while trying fruitlessly to rescue them, the inquest was adjourned to await her evidence. "Gary was sleeping in his crib near the stove and Bryan was playing on the floor, when I sud- denly saw a small flame spurt from the ceiling above the stove," Mrs. Young told the jury. "I ran to a house about 20 feet away and yelled for help, then rushed back to attempt to put out the fifames." In this short time, however, the dwelling had become a roaring inferno, she said. Forced back by the flames when she tried to get in the door, she stated, she tried to get in through the win- dow but was again balked by the flames, When a neighbour fore- ibly restrained her from further .| playing outside when attempts to rescue the sters, she collapsed. The jury learned that Mrs. Young had been expecting her fourth baby at the time, and that the baby, born prematurely, had died. A daughter, Carolyn, seven, the fire broke out, escaped unharmed. K. C. Johnson, owner of the building, stated the structure was feet, the remainder being frame, built of stone to a height of seven Partitions and ceiling were of fibre board, he said. Mr, Johnson stated the rooms not occupied by the Youngs were filled with stor- ed furniture, while the second storey housed lumber, engines and mlotors, and window frames. Testifying the building was in- sured for $500, he stated the com- pany settled for the full amount. Asked by Crown Attorney W. I. Dick if he considered the building: a fire hazard, Mr. Johnson re- plied: "I wouldn't say it was dan- gerous, others have lived in it." A fund started by district resi- dents to secure new quarters for the youngs, now amounts to ap- proximately $1,800, George Mac- Leod, chairman of the fund com- mittee, told The Journal yester- day.

Chambres and Deputy-reeve Howard Litchfield, no complaints concerning the condition have come before council. "If Kelly has mentioned the matter, it cer- tainly hasn't been to me," com- mented the acting mayor. "It's too bad these things don't come up through the proper chan- nels," stated Mr. Litchfield. "If the matter was brought to coun- cil's attention, steps would be taken, but no one has ever ap- peared before council concerning the matter, We want to co-oper- ate in every way with this pro- ject. We put gravel down in a hurry, even though the street hadn't been taken over by the town, and we didn't waste any time investigating complaints about the sewers." The deputy-reeve suggested residents "got off on the wrong foot" by not addressing their complaints directly to council. "If they did so, the matter would get consideration," he said. "We want to fully comply with any agreements, but we also want to discover that expense incurred is justifiable and necessary."

Cooper merism and hypnotism, in which I aim to give you the actual truth about this wonder-working force. It does not matter what previous notions you may have had about hypnotism, or what ignorant people may have told you in re- gard to it. The supreme benefits and pleasures and knowledge you would receive should you take up the study of mesmerism and hyp- notism will repay I will give you only facts without wast- it ti you. ing words on theory. I would first say that the hyp- notic condition, which is called hypnosis, can be produced by such simple means that it is hard for people to believe that nothing more is required to bring it about, On this point you must be promptly satisfied, for one of the chief marvels of the science is in the fact that so simple a means should be capable of pro- ducing such tremendous results. Thus, by an analysis of the prin- cipal phenomena of the hypnotic state, it will be seen how easily they may be reduced to the one simple principal of suggestion, acting on the mind, which has lost for a time, as the result of concentration, its power of self- direction. The chief marvel lies in the fact that such slight means should result in bringing about this condition. The method used to establish the hypnotic condition consists essentially in an imita- tion of the process of ordinary sleep by means of verbal suges- tion. Thus we actually bring sleep into existence by working on the imagination through speech. The skill of the operator consists in making the subject believe he is going to sleep, and he does so by his own imagina- tion. It sounds reasonable, doesn't it? Yet it is an actual fact, and when this state is complete the mind of the subject remains dor- mant until aroused to activity by some suggestion conveyed to him by the operator, to which he re- sponds as automatically as an auto obeys the manipulations of its driver. As in the induction of sleep or reverie, hypnosis pro- duces a vacancy of the mind which leaves it open to receive any impression that may be made upon it. The subject is indeed, for a time, a mere thinking auto- maton. He is given up to the domination of 'any idea that may be made to possess him, and he has no power of judging its con- sistency with the actual facts, be- cause he is unable to bring it into comparison with them, Thus he may be played upon like a mus- ical instrument--feeling, thinking, acting just as the operator wills that he should think, speak, act or feel. Because his will is in obeyance, all his mental opera- yoke of any dominant idea, how- ver notion with which it may p, sessed to the test of sense, whatever idea is put befor, | 1, but must xe It cannot briny s behests. any Dos. com but must accept ji immediate grasp.
