Traveling to another coun

“I'm very excited about
%oing,” explained Miss
arham with a smile. “‘I can’t
wait to go. 1 wanted
something different. I had en

“The school I'll be working
at handled gettir;& my visa for
me,”’ continued Miss Parham.
‘“lt’s really been easy (prepar
ing to leave the country). I
had to iet my passport and
several shots that were recom
mended. The school will also
furnish a house for me to live
in, I'll be living with three
other American teachers. The
school furnishes the house and
utilities. One of the teachers
has been living in Columbia
for a year and the other three
of us are newcomers. The
teacher that has been living
there can speak and write
Spanish. I speak very little
Spanish, but I don’t think
that will be a problem for me.”
Miss Parham said she'’s a
little nervous about leaving
the United States for a year,
but a friend she taught school
with in Douglas County for
three years is also going.
“When the scfiool called
and said Marsha (Delay) and 1
both had a job if we wanted it,
I didn’t hesitate in telling
them yes,” explained Miss
Parham. ““It makes it easier
having someone I know goinfi
with me. We can help eac
other if we get homesicE. Hav

easier.
Miss Parham said she has
always wanted to teach out

March she and Ms. Delay
went to the University of
Alabama where schools from
all over the world were inter
viewing for teachers. There

‘study the natural resources of
this region, learn about pro

help solve them, get ac

friends.

were some 12 countries
represent.ed at the fair, noted
Miss Parham, with most of
them from Mexico and South
America. From the fair, Miss
Parham said, she received two
teaching offers in Columbia.
She chose the school in
Medellin because she liked the
city from information she had
and Ms. Delay had also been
offered a job there.
The city where Miss
Parham will be livin% is very
modern, she noted. The city,
said Miss Parham, is about
the size of Atlanta. Outside
the city, however, the culture
changes to huts and such, ad
ded Miss Parham. The
temperature stays around 70
degrees the year around with
wet and d?' seasons, Miss
Parham said, and the city is
referred to as the “‘City of
Eternal Spring.”” Miss
Parham said she is looking
forward to the climate as she
doesn’t like extreme cold or
hot weather. The city is
located in the Andes Moun
tain range, noted Miss
Parham, near the equator.
Miss Parham will be
teaching in a private com
munity school where English
will be sgoken totally. She will
be teaching with U.S. tex
tbooks. The school will have
an average of 1,000 students,
noted Miss Parham, from
kindergarten through 12th
grade.
‘““The school wants by
national, by-cultural
teaching,”” said Miss Parham.
“I'm told 95 percent of the
Extension Service specialists
and university professors. The
4-H'ers also improved their
leadership skills by presen

Both sales and profits in the

are operating without short

Hopefully, the struggle
between the Administration

could have a positive effect on
the cost of money and the
general business outlook, but

During the Christmas
holidays, %diss Parham said,
she plans to travel a great deal
around the area. ‘‘l want to go
to Brazil. While I'm there I
also want to take a cruise
down the Amazon and meet
the natives. I'll have a lot of
travel opportunity while I'm
down there.”’
With all the information
she has read about Medellin,
Miss Parham said, she plans
on st.aYing longer than a year,
possibly up to three years if
she’s hapgy. From the
brochures, she noted, the city
“looks absolutely beautiful.”
Miss Parham explained,
“I'm most excited at having
the chance to live in another

from another culture 1s a plus
for the trip. 1 want to see how

Andersonville
Hero’s Story Told
It was at the Confederate
prison camp near this little
Georgia town that a young
Connecticut soldier undertook
the brave act of recording the
names of the nearly 13,000
Union soldiers who died dur
ing their imprisonment in the
latter part of the Civil War.
The young soldier was
Dorence Atwater, ‘“‘clerk of
the dead,” who had served
with the 2nd New York
Cavalry before being captured
and imprisoned.
Atwater was only 18 when
he was captured at
Hagerstown, M(Y., on July 7,
1863 and sent to Belle Isle
prison. In 1864 he was
transferred to Andersonville,
where in May he reported at
sick call and was ordered to
the hospital.
Following his recovery in
mid-June, he was detailed as a
clerk to the camp medical
department. His penmanship
brought him to tlge attention
of Dr. Isaiah White, who plac
ed him in charge of the books
in which a daily record of the
deaths of the prisoners was
kept.
Deaths were due to several
causes, including dysentery,
lack of proper medical care
and malnutrition. Anderson
ville commanding officers
pressed for a better water sup
gly, more medicine and food,
ut the Confederates were so
short of everything the orders
could not be nglled. And
Andersonville became a death
camp.
A resource study by Edwin
Bearss, which is in the libra
of the Andersonville Guillx
reveals that Atwater realized
the records he was keepi
would be valuable to the lovzg
ones of the deceased. In
August he began to copy the
death list secretly.
When he was exchanged in
March, 1865, Atwater
secreted the list, containing
nearly 13,000 names, in the

PREPARES FOR TRIP
Miss Lori Parham preg:ures
for a trip to Columbia, th
America, where she will teach
school for a year. Miss
Parham leaves laliami, Fia.,
July 24. Miss Parham,
daughter of Riley and Janet
ParEam of Summerville, will
be teachinfi sixth grade in
Medellin, the secomfr largest
city in Columbia.
“] want to know if they
have negative attitudes
toward us,”’ continued Miss
Parham. “I just want to see
how they feel about United
States citizens. I'm just
waitin% until July 24 when I
leave. I want it to be quite an
adventure and I'm sure it will
be. I'm very excited.”
lining of his coat.
From Annapolis he wrote
Secretary of War Edwin M.
Stanton, requesting a
furlough of 30 days to permit
him to make arranFements for
publication of his list. He was
ordered to present it at once to
the secretary. Reluctantly, he
left the rolls for safekeeping
with a clerk in the secretary’s
office.
Atwater abruptly was
given one day to decide
whether to accept a ‘‘reward”’
of S3OO, with the War Depart
ment retaining possession of
the list.
Then followed one of the
sad epiodes of the immediate
¥ostwar period. Clara Barton,
amed for her many efforts to
aid the sick and improve nurs
ing, entered the picture and
forced the War Department to
move at once to identify and
mark the graves of the Union
dead at Andersonville.
The copy of Atwater's list
furnished% the War Depart
ment was glurred, and Kliss
Barton asked Atwater for
help. The War Department,
learning that Atwater had
another copy of the list, ar
rested him on a charge of
larceny and conduct pre
judicial to good military
discipline. He was given a
dishonorable discharge, fined
S3OO and confined at hard
labor for 18 months.
He had served two months
when released by President
Andrew Johnson. But his list
still had not been published.
Throu%h the intervention of
Miss Barton, it finally was
fiublished by the New York
erald-Tribune in February,
1866. Clara Barton fought for
public exoneration of At
water. This finally came more
than 30 years later, in 1898,
when Congress canceled the
court martial and awarded
him an honorable discharge.
