“0.0. W.” “Ilf you are an ‘0.0.w.’ the full meaning of the term is not to be found if. the mere* words, ‘out of work ’ ; not simply inaction, but long-drawn patience; and queues; and a different look in the eyes of your wife . . ; hut more—the thing-y'ou’d-love-to-do-with-your-life-if-you-could, the thing you were born and built to do, recedes further away than ever. ‘ Snatch at am- old job you can get and be thankful,’ T was told last week: ‘That’s what T ‘oiv.’ Do you realise, dear reader, that there are hundreds of lads of eighteen and nineteen who have been ‘ 0.0.w.’ ever since they left school at fourteen P Tine human energy, divinely planned to forward contributive purposes within the Purpose, and it is running to waste in these realms of ours.
