Job for Jim

Fifteen miles out of Cleveland is rustic, somnolent Berea (pop. 6.000) whose chief industry is Cleveland Quarries Co.. whose chief ornament is Baldwin-Wallace College, and whose chief glory is Raymond Moley. Three generations of Moleys have lived in or near Berea. From his native Berea went Raymond Moley to profess politics in Cleveland's Western Reserve University, to direct the Cleveland Foundation, to investigate crime in Ohio and in New York, to profess government and public law at Columbia University, to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt's chief economic adviser, his chief Braintruster. his Assistant Secretary of State. Today Mr. Moley is editor of Today and still a potent factor at the White House. Meanwhile at rustic, somnolent Berea one Moley sister married Superintendent T. R. Barnum of Cleveland Quarries. Sister Nell became a buyer for Cleveland's Halle Bros, department store, continued to live in Berea with Mother Moley. Brother Jim, amiable and easygoing, was proprietor of the Moley Tire Shop in Berea until business grew bad. Then Brother Ray got him a CWA job in Washington. But Brother Jim disliked the bustle of the capital, pined to get back to Berea and a good job. Early this month Brother Ray fixed things up for him and last week Brother Jim was Berea's postmaster at $2,800 per year.
