Forty-seven years have passed since then, but be is still at it a landmark as familiar to Detroiters as the Majestic Building, which casts a long cool shadow over his tentlike kiosk these hot summer afternoons. His most vivid memory is of smoking a cigaret with other urchins downtown and looking up suddenly to find his father confronting him sternly. He went home right then, although he hadn't sold halt his papers, and spent an uncomfortable half-hour with the paternal Weingarden in the woodshed.

A STRANGE clucking in his back yard awoke Recorder's Judge Edward J.
