Large Doorway Meets Farmers’ Needs

The fear of the Lord is the Be-
ginning of knowledge: but.fools
despise wisdom and instruction.—
(Proverbs 1, 7.)
We set great store by the edu-
cation of our children; we spend
generously for schools and col-
leges. There the young may get
instruction and perhaps achieve
wisdom. But what real knowledge,
what real happiness will our chil-
dren have if, in their individual
lives, they have never learned—at
home, in church, in school—-of God
and of righteous living?
Jerry and Joe Warren visited
in Ft. Worth this week in the
home of their aunt and uncle,
Mr. and Mrs. Vick Langley.
Backing a 40-foot elevator through the large doorway is a simple
matter in the new Butler steel farm building.
What do farmers want most in an all-purpose steel farm building?
After a three-year survey, Butler Manufacturing Company, Kansas
City, Mo. found the answers, and developed this new building to meet
farmers’ specifications. Greatest demand was for its 12-foot sidewalls
and 20-foot clear-span sections, which have never before been available.
This allows doorways with plenty of clearance for large equipment,
such as combines, corn pickers, and 4-row implements, without expen-
sive construction costs. The rigid frame construction provides a full 36-
foot clear span interior for easy maneuvering and storing equipment.
The new building, made in 20-foot clear-span bays, can be constructed
in 20, 40, 60 and 80 foot lengths, and additional 20-foot sections can be
added to expand to any length desired. Because of the 20-foot sections
and 12-foot sidewalls, doors and windows can be located wherever re-
quired; either at sidewalls or endwalls. Partitioning off for stock or
feed storage is easily achieved. Covered with steel-bolted, deep-corru-
gated galvanized sheeting, the building can be counted on for years of
dependable service with little or no upkeep.
STEVENS POINT. WIS. — A
symbol of an exciting, by-gone era
... is this colorful hitching post
that stands in the yard of the
(Stevens Point Fire Department.
(The boy is typical of hitching posts
that stood in front of fire houses
all over the country back in the
days of horse-drawn fire apparatus,
jits usefulness has ended and a
great symbol of protection and
service is sadly dying out. But
someone is doing something about
keeping fire-house traditions alive
today!
> The old boy’s new friend is
“Chief,” a 6-month old pure-bred
Dalmatian puppy. “Chief” was re-
cently presented to the Stevens
(point Fxre Department by Central
Mutual Insurance Company Van
Wert, Ohio. The traditional fire-
house mascot was given to the de-
partment in recognition of its win-
ning the Grand Award in the 1952
Fire Waste Contest. The Central*
|which uses a Dalmatian as its
trade-mark, plans to present a ped-
igreed “Chief” each year to the
Grand Award winner in the United
States Chamber of Commerce con-
test ... so a grand old tradition
will be carried on.
i The new mascot naturally
dropped his pedigreed name of
“Williamsdale Clipper” to become
just plain “Chief.” At last report
“Chief” was racing; to the rescue
with his award winning masters
. . . and, of course, making fast
friends of all the small boys in
town as well a? the boy who stands
in the yard.

adding that cases occur occasion-

rarely among cigarette smokers.
“The patient is usually a man
of between 50 and 60 years of
age. The onset is insidious, with
gradual difficulty in reading
small print. As the condition pro-
greses he will commonly
complain of a mist before
his eyes and that he cannot re-
cognize his friends in the
street.” -
