Unemployed Solving Scheme Outlined at Barnet Hall
An extensive Town Hall meeting at High Barnet discussed a non political plan to cut unemployment within seven days. Mech Glney chaired the event with Rev. Jas Gatey explaining the scheme, proposing a 10 percent wage deduction across the UK to fund two thirds of workers’ pay while unemployed or retired. The plan claimed a £1,000,000 weekly fund from ten million workers and promised rapid industry revivals and farm and shop improvements to create jobs.

The text shows a boy named Willin staring in astonishment and asking how an animal arrived, with a note that it came by train. A sudden realization prompts him to imagine a ball sliding out a window and traveling through a tunnel, ending with a puzzled reaction. The writing is garbled and reads like OCR errors.
