Around 800 persons last night saw an unusual magic show presented by Lee Grabel and his troupe at the Jacksonville high school. They saw dozens of and illusions and Grabel will do it all over again tonight, at 8 p.m. The photo above shows Helene as she emerges from a minature tent. Really the committee of four had tied her in a bag, and then locked her in a large box and then bound the box with canvas and rope. All of this was under the dli'ec- tion of her husband, Lee.

Yet within three seconds she appeared out Of the tent. The committee then went to undoing what they had sure enough, Grabel was in the sack. A big illusion of the evening was when Grabel suspended and overturned a piano in space a.s Peggy Hutson. MacMurray College junior mnsic student, kept right on playing. He'll do the same tonight, with Kay Kennedy of Memphis, a freshman, at the keyboard.

Grabel did a series of cai-d tricks and other types of sleight-of-hand performances. The crowd particu- Iraly liked his act, when he started with a cigarei, then a cigar and a dozen different pipes, all of them fogging, only to end with a Bavarian pipe two feet long. Visiting amateui' magicians, they were here from Cass, Morgan, Sangamon and Pike counties, best liked the tin-tyiie presentation, where Grabel decides to pose for an old- time photo and ends up as the cameraman. The company is sponsored here by the Rotary club. There are tickets available for tonight and all profits will be used foi' community welfare work.

One of the test wells was driven to 51 feet, another to 102 feet, and a third to 257 feet. revealed some sand and gravel which promise relatively prolific water-bearing the driUing company executive reported. Maybe A Half-Million He said one of the test locations indicated that a well would produce at least 300 gallons per minute, with indications that it might furnish as much as a half million gallons in 24 hours.

Asked by councilmer if the locality might hold other possibilities, Smith said further borings would be necessary- to determine that. "We don't know whether we are sitting in a teacup, a bucket, or he declared. The representative estimated that the cost of a well would run about $4,800. with an additional 2,200 for a pump. The engineer estimated that construction of a main from the proposed new well to the Widenham- Daub wells, from which about a million gallons is being drawn each day, would be $22,000.

The of negotiating a contract with the property would be additional to other costs. Favors Direct Line Maj'or Hoagland raised the question of whether a well should be sunk without further tests to determine the potetnial life of whether it could be expected to hold up under steady pumping. He also expressed opinion that a pipe line from the new well field to the Widenliam-Daub wells might be unnecessary-. He said he favored a main directly to the treatment plant, which would become a permanent part of the water distribution system.
