The Imaginary Invalid, a sa-
tire on the medical profession and
on people who imagine that they
are i'll, will be given by The Wes-
ley Junior College Players at
Grace Fellowship Hall, Dover,
March IL and II. The cast of 'The
Imaginary Invalid" is under the
Erection of Professor Lewis Wells
OF Wesley Junior Colleges Eng
ish Department. The play tells the
tory of Monsieur Ardin, the ina
ginary invalid, played by Howard
-7ollit, Dover. Ardin is a through
-5oing hypochondric. His daughter,
lngelique should marry a man of
is own choosing, the son of a

way tying to show up Ardins folly
and the doctors stupidity. Beline,
Ardin's shrewish wife, played by
Jean Neeley, Dover, is determined
that Angelique shall become a
nun so that there will be no one
but she, will inherit Ardin's es-
tate. By many tricks, Toinetta and
Beralde show up Beline as the
mercenary she is and the doctors
as the folls that they are. They
succeeded in getting Ardin's con-
sent for the marriage of Angeligue
and Cleante, and in the end Ardin
himself becomes a doctor. Student
director for the play is Leonard
Bilger, and dance director is Miss

better standard of living generally.
The additional revenue could be
used to enlarge and improve the
town facilities, and used to help
make available concessions which
might attract more and more in
dustry, and needed publicity.
2. A Wide Publicity Program
Smyrna has much to offer: loca-
ton, available labor supply, mod
ern and up-to-date school system,
finest in fire fighting equipment,
nearness to large markets, and
many other attractions.
8. Off-street Parking Facilities
More parking space is needed in
or near the business section. OFF,
street parking the answer to re-
lief to present congestion during
the rush hours. Safer, easier driv-
| ing would be the greatest benefit
as delivery trucks, large and
small, now double park, blocking
streets.
4. Lower Tax Rate-This would
help encourage more home build
ing within town limits. A lower
tax rate could probably be brought
about by an expanded business
program through close cooperation
between town officials and bust
ness people working toward the
attraction of new business, thus
increasing revenue and lowering
taxes.
s. Recreational Facilities, for
example roller rink.
Coordinating the suggestions
from all other contestants results
as follows:
1. Merchants paint and improve
store fronts (suggested by 81.
2. Replace open water drains at
Four Corners-health and traffic
hazard.
8. More rubbish containers for
use of school children and adults
for paper.
4. Removal of parking meters
on Commerce Street west from
-Four Corners; more enforcement
on remaining meters, as on mer-
chants who park for hours at a
time.
5. New paving on Commerce
Street.
6. A town manager, so that eff
forts to improve the town are
coordinated and put into effect
over period.
z. Cooperation between business
men working together toward the
good of the whole community,
rather than as separate units seek
ing their own gain.
8. Prevention of lettering by any
persons on the Four Corners or in
front of buildings in the downtown
area.
8. Leadership needed to provide
material for future town govern
ment officials, and definite need
for interest of citizens, expressed
in their attendance at Town Coun-
Gil meetings, to see how decisions
are made which affect living and
business conditions in Smyrna.
10. A shop-in-Smyrna campaign;
placing of signs on Glenwood Ave-
nue. and on main roads leading
into the town.
III. A store-a-day spot radio
broadcast to advertise shopping in
Smyrna.
IL. In local advertising the
statement of the slogan with each
ad.
l3. Beautify the town park with
flowers and benches for relaxation.
IA. Safety patrols for crossings
near the schools.
10. Street improvements.

When Mr.. Abel led a club and
Mr.. Meek wasn't able to ruff, the
contract was ice-cold. But MIR.
Muzzy, using some half-knowl-
edge about end-plays which he
had acquired, overlooked a sim
pie and eminently logical play.
After winning trick one with
the ace Of clubs, he cashed the
king of spades, then led a small
heart from the board and ruffed
it. He then led to the king Of
clubs and ruffed dummy's second
small heart. Next he led to the
queen of clubs, returned the king
of hearts and ruffed it.
"This is known as a strip play"
he announced grandly to the as
sembled kibitzers.
by that he means stripping
my pocketbook." muttered Mr..
Champion.
Mr.. Muzzy's next play was a
spade to dummy'S ace. He re-
turned a diamond, intending to
put in the eight spot, thus fore
ing Mr.. Abel into the lead with
no possible safe return.
But, of course, Mr.. Meek ruined
this plan by playing the nine.
Mr.. Muzzy covered with the queen
and Mr.. Abel won with the king.
He now had a very easy return
Ia the jack of diamonds, which
forced out the ace. Mr.. Meek's
ten Of diamonds took the setting
trick.
Don't trump the king Of

agely. Just led Abel win it with
the ace"
Remember. I had two losing

angrily.
So Mr.. Champion rubbed his
head YEARLY. Il am not sug-

that you play the eight of dia-

turned diamond, my contention
Is that you would have no losers
