Paul Tisdale Points
to Delinquency Ills;
Seeks Area Judgeship

Attorney Paul A. Tisdale, 30-year
resident of Detroit and Southfield,
is seeking the position of associate
municipal judge for the city of
Southfield.
Tisdale'.: main concern for the
.-ity of Smithfield
nvolves the
growing juvenile
lelinquency prob-
lem developing
in the commun-
:ty. He believes
that the associate
judge should and
must take an ac-
tive interest in
expanding
Tisdale the parent-youth
guidance -- rogram into full juve-
nile probation department in
Southfield. At the present time
there exists no such department.
Tisdale said he believes other
problems do and will face the city
of Southfield's Municipal Court as
a result of the city's rapid popula-
tion expansion. (In 1964 South-
field residents totaled 46,000.
Statistics show that by 1970 over
80,000 people will live in South-
field.) These problems, he said,
include an understaffed and over-
worked police department and an
overburdened Municipal C "o u r t
necessitating more effective and
efficient Municipal Court adminis-
tration.
Tisdale, a member of Bnai Brith
and Temple Israel, is past secre-
tary of the Southfield Park Civic
Association.

On March 25, 1916, a family-type
shoe store was opened at 1967
Hastings Street, next to Knoppow's
Drug Store which was at the cor-
ner of Frederick.
The incorporators were Nathan
Hack, president; Dr. Emil M. So-
rock, vice-president, and Pauline
May Hack, secretary-treasurer. Dr.
Sorock was Mrs. Hack's brother
and the owner of the building in
which the store was located.
Two years later, when prohibi-
tion "enlightened" the land, the
business was moved to the double
store vacated by a saloon at the
corner of Farnsworth and Hastings.
Under the new numbering system
later, it was 5203 and 5205 Hast-
ings.

The Imminent Light

By HARRY MAXMAN

We hear the bells' tolling,
We hear the streets clangor.
Why don't we hear, and feed
Each our inmost hunger?
Love is the lock,
And love the key
That opens wide
This illumined mystery.
The dew in the morning,
The mist in the night,
Will never foreclose
' Time's imminent Light.
