HUMOUR, PLEASE!
Sir,-May I submit a reply to a recent letter from Jim Douglas? He does himself and many others an injustice by claiming the title of lowbrow, It is not a case of our not possessing the same cephalic qualities as the so-called highbrows, but rather of our not possessing the same morbid temperament as the person who can sit and listen to the dreddful noises emanating from symphonic orchestras with all their clashings and discords, I heartily endorse his Statement that what this sad, worried world needs is fewer dirges and more
humour.
