HISTORY OF SCHOOL
BUILDING RECALLED
Continued from Page y

The late Horton Absher gave
four acres of land for the build
ing site-the committee pur-
chased two additional acres from
Mr. Absher. Not knowing how
the building was to be financed,
the people of the community be-
gan to clear the land. Soon, the
foapdation was started for a
$2S, ,000.0O building. This ap-
peared rather foolish to some who
said it could not be done. But
The people of all the communities
concerned began to offer their
services.in the way of materials,
labor. teams, trucks and money.
Ct was no unusual thing for forty
DO fifty men to be seen working
en this building. donating all
their time. All the rough ma
Serial. and most of the labor, was
donated. .-As the months passed,
She interest increased. Some,
VINO in the beginning were In
different, fell in line. All re-
NAMED faithful until the end.
And until::yesterday the Nathan's
Creek school building stood as a
monument to the people, who, by
aaeir unparalleled efforts, dem
eastrated their interest in the
education of their schildren and
the welfare of their community
But as the flames consumed the
results of their efforts, men again
s1egaa to talk of rebuilding.

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -
Staff Sergeant Willie L. Adams of
Route 2, Aemore, Alabama. has re-
turned tt. AAF Redistribution Sta
ton Number l TO await new Air
Force assignment and to dream
what ne would buy had he dol
lar for every ton of shipping he
handled during his 80 months as
a sergeant of Negro Port Bat
talon.
Sergeant Adams outfit worked in
every major port in North Africa
and first swung into action at
Suez in November 1912.
II had charge of part of a group
of rs men. 1t was our job to empty
Liberty ships of their supplies and
equipment as fast as possible in
order to keep General Montgom-
ery's Eighth Army supplied" said
the sergeant at Redistribution
Station Number /.
"On that job alone, at a dollar
a ton, I'd have enough to buy the
biggest rice plantation in Louisi-
ana. After that we moved to Tri-
poll and were bombed night and
day for three straight months, but
we unloaded the ships"
Moving to Cairo, Egypt. we be-
came attached to the Air Force and
set a record by unloading a Liberty
boat in IL dayS. The average was
IA days. I handled everything from
bandages to bulldozers but it was
interesting work"
Sergeant Adams entered the SER
vice on August 4, 1912 and was
sent overseas on October 20, 1912.
