LANSING STATE JOURNAL, MICHIGAN'S GREAT CAPITAL DAILY 2 Feb. 21, 1948 Magicians' Guild Gives Annual Show Several Hundred Persons See Hobbyists Perform Rabbits popped out of hats, cigarets were picked from the air, girl vanished before the eyes of the audience and flowers were produced from nowhere as the Lansing Magician's Guild paraded its bags tricks before several hundred persons at West junior auditorium Friday evening. The occasion was the third annual show of the guild, an organization of Lansing men who have adopted magic tricks as hobby. The performance was well presented with all the necessary stage mountings to make it- as entertaining as show presented by the great Harry Blackstone, himself. Blackstone is recognized as the king of all magicians.

Taking part in Friday night's show were Ed Hacker, who offered tricks of modern magic; R. L. Bateman, introducing feats in oriental magic; Backus who proved that the hand is quicker than the eye sometimes; Emerald in a mind reading act, C. N. McCarty in a comedy magic act and Frank Stiles who worked with illusions that probably were the outstanding offerings of the entire show.

To add comedy Doug Dean and his stooge, Elbert Q. Harrington offered feats of ventriloquism. Stiles' performance smacked of the professional. He did several tricks well known to stage magicians, including an escape from a packing box, the suspending of a girl in midair, and the linking ring trick that has been popular on the magic stage far many years. He did them all cleverly.

R. L. Bateman offered several tricks of an oriental nature his best, perhaps, being the mutilated parasol trick in which a parasol wrapped in a newspaper is later removed and found to be mutilated, then replaced in the wrapping and removed whole again. Bob Backus proved that the hand is quicker than the eye by picking cigarets out of the air, offering several card tricks and a cue ball mystery that, while not very new, was well executed. Emerald's mind reading act was another outstanding spot in the show.

His mental mathematics trick was probably the best. He asked three persons to select number. Then by reading their minds he added the total of the three numbers. Later the three assistants added the three numbers together on slate, producing the same answer Emerald had found. C.

N. McCarty offered comedy magic and put his act over with flourish. He produced plenty of laughs but displayed cleverness that added to the success of the tricks. He worked with cards, pieces of rope, trick cigars and other properties. Ed Hacker, who opened the show, produced several tricks which were new to his audience.

Especially well liked with the disappearing handkerchief trick which he did several times to completely mystify his audience. Doug Dean's ventriloquist act was standard in its presentation, but he did it well and produced many laughs from the crowd. Stan White was master of ceremonies and the magicians were assisted by Theda Assiff, Sally Critton, Sharon Flannery, Herb Ohmen, Bette Doane, Herb McCourt, John Rashid and Jack Stallings.

Sayler told the delegates party organizers were active in 50 Michigan counties, and said meetings had been held in more than a dozen of the state's larger cities.

Sayler said the delegates included "factory workers, college students, Negroes, nationality and foreign language groups and, surprising as it may seem, number of The list of convention sponsors also named several businessmen, attorneys, college professors, clergymen and union officials.

Phone Petition To Be Decided Public Service Group Has It for Consideration Michigan Bell Telephone company's petition for establishits extended area service plan was before the state public service commission for decision Saturday.

Henry W. Goodman, company vice president, opposed any compromise commission order which would install the plan on an optional basis, asserting the company's experience showed that non-optional plans are cheaper and more efficient to operate. Under the plan, areas with "community of interest" would be grouped in one telephone exchange and the phone users allowed to call within the area without paying toll charges. It would increase the basic phone rates of about half the phone users affected. Allen K.

Hamilton of Chicago, a commission consultant, argued at the final hearing Friday that the plan should be installed on an optional basis, but he conceded the customers eventually would "sell themselves" on the new service. He said company records showed that only a small percentage of customers in one area used "short haul" toll charges and that under the extended service plan they would be subsiding the heavier users.

Bad Spring Break Seen in Offing (Special to The State Journal) MASON, Feb. 21 Current symptoms point to a more serious spring breakup this year than last, according to Frank Evans, Ingham county road commission engineer. He said last week's three-day thaw following the spell of severe cold had badly rutted gravel roads and placed a severe strain on blacktop highways.

The road situation is generally critical throughout the county, being particularly bad in the Landell district where trenching equipment has dug up streets for placement of sewer and water mains. Evans said that conditions that area probably will get worse as the spring thaw progresses. Landell has been advised by the road commission to take whatever steps possible to repair its streets, but in cases of extreme emergency, the county road commission probably will have to help. In such case, however, Landel must stand the expense. The engineer said last week's thaw created minor flooding and caused washouts on some roads.

A few minor roads were closed because of this until Friday. Renewal of freezing weather later in the week aided conditions, slowed the situation up and cleared up flooding. As the spring progresses, belief was expressed that unless heavy rain or more snow falls, ice jams will create the greatest hazard to bridges.

Seek to Settle School Dispute (Special to The State Journal) DIMONDALE, Feb. 21 An attempt to settle the Dimondale school controversy touched off by the firing of an assistant football coach was to be made Saturday afternoon at a meeting of the school board. Dismissal of George Hough, instructor and assistant football coach, resulted in a one-day strike of students earlier this week and reached climax Thursday when the superintendent, high school principal and three teachers resigned. The board tabled the resignations until March 15 but there is possibility they might be considered at the meeting this afternoon. Those submitting their resignation in addition to Andrew W.

Cherpes, superintendent, are Hervey Beutler, high principal; Byron Johnson, Mrs. Lois Flora and Mrs. Doris Weidner. Six members of the newly organized student council of the school who conferred Friday with C. L.

Taylor, chief of the finance and accounting division of the state department of public instruction, said they did not want to strike and that they were making every effort to have the rest of the students agree to remain in school. They told Taylor, however, that they did not believe the board was justified in dismissing Hough, and expressed the opinion that chief cause of the trouble is of more or less long standing. Taylor said the group was hopeful that the board would "Iron things out" at the Saturday meeting. The students who visited Taylor are Richard Baker, Eugene Bailey, and Betty Moubray, 12th grade; Norman Fulger, 11th grade, and Sonny Moore and Wanda Waterbury, 10th grade.
