COLUMBIA
Red Cross Chapter Formally Thanks H. w. Porter for Liberal and Con-
 tinuous Assistanee-Report at War Rally That Bond Subscriptions Are Already 100 Per Gent. oversubscribed

At/the meeting April 23 a resolution was adopted by the Columbia chapter of the American Red Cross expressing to H. w. Porter appreciation of hiN generosity, public spirit and patriotism in offering to the chapter for it's sole use and without expense the unoecu- pied rooms of the hotel building own ed by him, which offer was gladly ac- cepted and fully availed of during the past year. Without these pleasant and well lighted rooms, it would have been very difficult for the chapter to have attempted the work which has been accomplished, and to have attained the present proficiency and enviable repu- tation which it now enjoys.
 The chapter members are much in debted to Mr. Porter for the trans portation of boxes of clothing, surgical dressings and other materials for the soldier boys to the railway station, which service has been willingly and gratuitously given. All feel sure that Mir. Porter will feel amply repaid, knowing that it has been his great privilege to enable the town of Colum- bia to do it's part to provide for the comforts and alleviate the sufferings of those gallant men who are fighting for the liberty of our allies, and the continued freedom and autonomy of our own people.
