Dr. Jaks Speaks At Knife,
Fork Club Meeting Here
Dr. Stanley Jaks, interna
tionally known holograptucal
authority and psychologist,
spoke ' for Rogue River Valley
Knife and Fork club last night
at Rogue Valley Country club,
bringing the club's tenth year
to a close. Meetings will be re
sumed in October.
Eric Allen Jr., retiring presi
dent of the club, spoke briefly
of the club's founding and first
year, and announced election of
three new directors, Mrs. T. V.
Williams, William A. Barker
and Dr. J. Scott Heatherington.
Not 'Psychic'
Dr. Jaks, who insists that he
is not "psychic," but a highly
trained psychologist and holo
grapher, literally astounded his
audience with what he likes to
call "sleight of mind" experi
ments, using persons in the au
dience as assistants. As an exam
ple of the type of "experiment"
which Dr. Jaks conducts, he
asked before dinner to be in
troduced to a club member to
whom he gave a triple-sealed en
velope. He then asked the mem
ber, who happened to be Neil
Davidson, to state an important
year in his life, and to name
some personage in whose career
he has been interested.
This Davidson did, giving the
year 1939 and the name Clifton
Webb. Davidson retained the
sealed envelope, which Dr. Jaks
had prepared 24 hours earlier
while in California, until the
program hour and when it was
opened, it was found to contain
the exact information which Mr.
Davidson has previously con
veyed to Dr. Jaks. ' '
Dr. Jaks twice duplicated the
