Sir,-Jim Douglas hits the nail on the head when he calls your attention to the fact that there are not enough humorous items in the programmes for the "lowbrows." I guess he means listeners who received a high school or sixth standard education,’ and they, I believe, constitute the large majority of those who pay the radio licence fee. I agree with him that there are too many of the symphony A sharp major and E flat minor dirges. Pity my mentality if you like, but I would sooner hear a sailor’s hornpipe or an Irish jig.
