Roald Dahl's macabre comedy,

they were looking for an anti
Itode to "The Fourposter" and
their summer -ago TV series,
1.-THE Marriage" which might be
described as an up-to-date ver-
sion of Jan Hartog's play.
Their decision to do "The
Fourposter" may have been a
backward step in their search,
or perhaps a momentary pause,
but if they stepped back. the
medium stepped forward with

during the past year, had been
given 120 electro shock treatments
at various hospitals, being made
completely calm at Delaware State
Hospital in less than twelve hours
after ThOrazine was administered.
DR.. Freyhan also stated that these
drugs were useful in other than
the mental field, such as high
blood pressure and nausea but, of
course, should be used under a
doctors supervision. The Auxiliary
/ is anxious to give all possible sup
port to Senate Bill "a, Senator
Walter J. HOey, chairman. which

pital with much needed funds The
fact that the hospital has a staff,

Taruminaz, which keeps up with
all that is new and revolutionary
in the treatment of the mentally
