摘要

WHEN he was growing up in rural southern Illinois, each member of Joseph Schmitt's large family had their own job to do. Aunt Katie baked for everyone; he remembered the big pie-safe on her porch. His brother did the hog-butchering, while an uncle made all the family's shoes. And he, as a boy, also had his special jobs. He delivered clean washing to his widowed mother's customers, pulling it along in his little four-wheel wagon, and he shined shoes and cleaned spittoons in his brother-in-law's barbershop. At a dime a shine, it took 300 of them to get enough money to buy his mother a new cooking stove. But even his pocket-change contribution kept the family going.
