During the past several years, the grand juries have specifically mentioned the project as now pro posed. Appearing before the jury in behalf of the extension was Sheriff Bailey Grant, who said that it would the jail count by 60 per The sheriff pointed out that the present jail has had an average of 97 prisoners per day with a maintenance cost of $1.10 per prisoner per day.

HOLIDAY JENA (Special) A Jena woman and two children were injured, not seriously, when a violent explosion of undetermined origin rocked the recreation hall of the Jena First Baptist Church, doing considerable damage. Mrs. Burns Walker suffered a bruised hip when she was blown from her feet by the blast, which followed a birthday party for her daughter. Robert Devening, 6, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Don Devening, Jena, was struck by flying debris and sustained a deep gash over the left eye with first degree burns about the face and hands, George William Mears, 6, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Mears, Jena, suffered slight burns.

They were the only three persons remaining in the building following the party, attended by about 24 youngsters. About six or eight of them were standing outside the building when the blast occurred, but none of them were injured. It was speculated that gas trapped in the sheetrock walls of the structure caused the blast when Mrs. Walker turned out the lights to leave. The blast force blew out windows and flung Venetian blinds, glass, and other items as much as 50 feet about the area.
