...Post in 1919-21, he has three sons in journalism: Burris Jr., literate Harvardman, interpreter of the late great Thomas Fferdy and now sports cartoonist for the New York Journal; Paul, adman, and Logan, newsman, on the Denver Post. Dr. Jenkins publishes The Christian (weekly), syndicates "The Drift of the Day'' in 15 Midwestern newspapers.
