One of the greatest marksmen
of the FBI was passing through
a small town, and everywhere
he saw evidences of the most
amazing shooting. On trees, >on
walls and on fences there were
numberless bull’s-eyes with the
bullet hole in the absolute cen
ter. He asked to meet the person
responsible for this remarkable
feat. The man turned out to be
the village idiot.
“This is the mast wonderful
marksmanship I have ever seen,”
said the FBI man. “How in the
world do you do it?”
“Easy as pie,” replied the vil
lage idiot. “I shpot first and
draw the circle afterward.”

It" a BUTLER Building
f see how clear-span construction
MAKES EVERY INCH OF SPACE USABLE!
You don’t pay for an inch of waste space when you erect a Butler
steel building. Clear-span interiors and straight sidewalls make all
floor space usable. No matter whether you use a Butler building as
a factory, warehouse, or store, there are no posts to limit arrange
ment of machinery or merchandise.
Weather-tight, fire-safe Butler buildings, with galvanized or alu
minum covering, require practically no maintenance. Insurance rates
are low. You can get clear-span widths up to 70 feet in many lengths.
Let us show you a new Butler building now in use. See how it
can fit your business. Use your own building plan or if you prefer
our service can include everything from foundation to insulation.

Letter to the Editor
The Seward Seaport Record
of January 1, 1954, has just come
across my desk. We, the Depart
ment of Public Welfare, believe
that great social progress has
been made when a paper such
as yours, has as its policy the
rule of not publishing the names
of juveniles who get into trouble.
Children in the toils of the law,
is not a problem that is restrict
ed to the Seward District, but
is nation-wide. Leaders from
every state in the Union, and
leaders from the Territories are
studying the problem. Perhaps,
the solution will, like the pre
vention and control of polio and
T.B.—be found, when we first
learn just what causes the dis
ease.
In carrying the analogy a

little further, we are not sure
but that the disease of delin
quency is passed from one gen
eration to another. If a child
is given no feeling of security,
he in turn, will be unable to
give security to children of his
own. A person can not give to
others that which he, himself,
has never had or experienced.
It is our great problem to help
the parents to be better parents
to their children, so that, in the
future generation, the children’s
children can, in turn, be stable
parents.
We understand that a group,
is being organized to study.the
problems of children in your
community. We should like to
encourage this group and help
them in every way possible. We
feel that when a solution is
found to the problem, it will
be found by people working in
a progressive community such
as yours.

RAINBOW GIRLS MOURN
DEATH OF FOUNDER
Seward Assembly Order of
Rainbow for Girls draped their
charter in memory of Mark Sex
son Thursday night. Rev. Sex
son was the founder of the order.
He instituted the supreme body
and subordinate chapters as well
as the Grand Cross of Colors.
The first Assembly was a class
of 171 girls initiated in McAllis
ter. Oklahoma. June 1022, held
in the Scottish Rites Temple.
Mark Sexson was approached
by officers of Eastern Star for
assistance in establishing an
order for girls as a counterpart
■of DeMolay, which was set up
by the Masonic Lodge for boys.
He entered into the project with
enthusiasm and wrote the ritual
and rules for the order as it
stands today. For these many
intervening years, Mr. Sexson
has devoted his whole life to
promulgating the Order of Rain
bow.
He died December 20. 1953 in
McAllister, Oklahoma, and Rain
bow Assemblies all over the
world are mourning his passing.
