approval to the steps which South

themselves for service in the event oi
war. The governor is state chairman
OF the South Carolina branch of the
Red Cross and he cordially encourages
the women in taking such instructions
as this organization offers In first aid

A letter which the chief executive
addresses to Miss Follin Porter, a
Red Cross nurse OF Columbia, In an
swer to one in which she called his
attention to the opportunities that the
Red Cross association offers in pre-
paredness measures, gives his strong
Endorsement in the following terms:
MY Dear Miss Porter: Replying to
your letter Of the 10th inst, | would
say that l consider no work Of greater
Importance for the women of our state

eventuality so that South Carolinians
can offer their services to the presi-
dent as unit.
"As state chairman OF the Red
Cross work, call upon our citizens,
especially the women, to unite In 10.
cal organizations and study such In.
structions as may be given them by
physicians and nurses in regard to
bandaging and first aid measures. In
Just such units our women will have
the opportunity to receive that special
training which is required for actual
service. The dues are only 81 year
and no previous service is required
for entrance into a unit. The work
has my heartiest Endorsement and
hope that the women Of the state Will
avail themselves of the opportunity
of being of great service to the ma
