| I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother"s idea. She wanted me to "make something" of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition. With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure  everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAYEVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home. " How many did you sell, my boy?" my mother asked. " None." " Where did you go?" " The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues." " What did you do?" " Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post." " You just stood there?" " Didn"t sell a single one." " My God, Russell!" Uncle Allen put in, " Well, I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a ni  ckel. It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home. One day, I told my mother I"d changed my mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazine business. " If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, " you"ll become a good-for-nothing." She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me. My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father"s plain workman"s l  ife, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband"s people for true life and love. | |||||||||||||||||||||
