BROADCASTING HUMOUR
Sir,-There have been many attempts by various groups to broadcast: humour, and unfortunately the only result is to display our complete lack of this element in our national life. We cannot yet laugh at ourselves. I doubt if we will until our population is trebled. One Minute, Please, while trying so hard to be humorous, merely repeats the impromptu speech of 30 years ago. The result is that chatter remains supreme, There. is one humorous feature one is apt to overlook-its description in The T.uistener as "a hattle of wite ’"’
