day. They had as one of their speak
ers NJ. c. Benedict, one of the seven.
teen survivors of the original Princess
Pat regiment as it went from Canada
in August, 1914, to fight the battles OF
freedom and civilization. Mr. Bene.
dict said that he was one of the few
Jews in the regiment and that after
two years in the trenches he was de
tailed to England to assist in raising
a Jewish battalion He told some most
interesting experiences that caused
yolieys of laughter. He went over in
1914 and returned to Canada at the
end, OF 1918. Mr.. Benedict received
a thunderous ovation from the mem
bers of the club, tribute to him as it
was to one Of the most gallant organi-
cations that ever offered itself on the
altar of human freedom.
The club also enjoyed br liant ad,
dress from Dr.. George II. Mack, the
former popular pastor Of the Garden
street Presbyterian church here. DR..
Mack said that during the morning he
had visited the county high school
and II was surely an institution of
which every Columbia should be

continued, there is one respect in
which the town has not changed and
that is its boundary limits have not
been extended or enlaged. This prov.
yoked a round of applause.
DR.. Mack congratulated the Kiwanis
Club on the fine work that it was doing
and he said that opposition could al.

The Old Roman. although consider
ably past the allotted three score and
ten year mark, has the appearance of
being much younger, and is still as
vigorous and as full of pep" and en-
thusiasm as men a half century his
junior.
For fifty-fiye years the Old Roman
has been on the road for the same
firm, and during all these long years
he has covered his territory each
ninety days. One of the most remark
able facts is that he has never missed
a single trip,
