HUMAN beings may generally be classified according to the type of town or city in which they live; thus, the average inhabitant of Slushby-in-the Mud will reflect the intellectual atmosphere of his vil. lage "no less than the citizen of Westminster. Dull people usually come from dull places; hence, the moral would seem to be, brighten your towns and your cities if you wish the people to be happy and con- tented. Such beliefs as the above most probably actuated the Muni- cipal dignitaries of Brighton when they sought to make that famous seaside resort artificial paradise by such menna as electric signs, Bood-lighting, cabarets, Sunday games and con- certs and the hundred and one dis traptions in which city dwellers endeavour to drown their business caros. Aided by clever publicity, the Brighter Brighton movement succeeded in attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to the resort, with; the result that everybody, in cluding the Councillors, reaped rich harrels of gold, and, we may suppose, were as happy as rand- bays. Other towns, even conser- vative old London, canght the "bright' movement and tried to vie with Brighton in spending up the pace of entertainment, so that before long people got more ex- hausted during the week-ends than during a whole week of office routine. No small wonder that many towns have refused to be brightened and prefer to remain
There are some who think that e moyement should be inaugurated for a brighter Kowloon. They tell us that the town is as dull as a vil- läge, with no large shops, no places of entertainment beyond a cabaret
ceremony.
