Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A LEADING article Published in 6` The Commercial Motor" some months ago deplored the lack of initiative, the unwilling and lethargic attitude of many of the young men of to-day.

This interested me. particularly, for since being discharged from the Army I have tried hard to enter the road transpoit business in any capacity. Such is the lack of faith in youth on the part of transport employers, however, that after three months I am still without a job: My age is 21, I have had five years' driving experience and possess a flair for maintenance, also an interest that almost amounts to a fervour for anything driven by an i.e. engine; above all, 1 possess the urge to work and progress, but still I have no employer.

Perhaps you could oblige me with the addresses of any hauliers or other transport undertakings who would be willing to engage me, preferably in the Southern or Eastern Counties. If you could do this I would be indebted and, furthermore, would endeavour to prove to you that there are still some "young blokes" who

can care. F. E. SMITH. Dovercourt.

[We regret to learn of the trouble you have had in obtaining a position, and we hope that you will soon be successful. If, as a result of the publication of your letter, any applications reach us for further inquiries, we will send them on to you. You must realize, however, that conditions in our industry, as a consequence of the turmoil caused by nationalization, or the threat of it, are difficult, but road transport must progress.—ED.1
