NEW CITIZENS — Two little girls from Seoul, Korea, now new citizens of the United States, talk things over with Superior John Shea, who conducted naturalization ceremonies in Santa Ana Wednesday. Seen here (from left) are Jane Clark, 5, of Anaheim, Judge Shea and Kim Sawyer, 6, of Costa Mesa.
Anaheim Girl, 5, Becomes Citizen in Court Ceremony
By Orange County News Service
Although there were 56 people present in the court of presiding Judge John Shea Wednesday afternoon for citizenship ceremonies, two pretty little girls, one from Costa Mesa, and the other from Anaheim, received a good share of the attention.
The young ladies, both from Seoul, Korea; joined the 54 other Orange County residents in the ceremonies, held in Superior Court in Santa Ana. The new American citizens represented 19 different countries.
Following the program, 5-year-old Jane Marguerite Clark, the new daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Donald Clark, 927 W. Sycamore, Anaheim, and 6-year-old Kim Minja Sawyer, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Thorton Sawyer, 379 E. 19th St., Costa Mesa, chatted with Judge West, and had their pictures taken by countless photographers.
For both families, who met for the first time yesterday, it was indeed a happy occasion, one that will be remembered a long time.
The new father of one of the girls, J. Donald Clark, a business manager for a doctor in Los Angeles, explained how he and his wife decided to adopt a little girl to balance their family of three boys.
Through a college friend in Korea, Clark learned about little Jane Marguerite, who was living in an orphanage in Seoul. Soon they received a picture of the lovely little lass—and they were sold. She arrived in the United States more than two years ago.
Although many of their experiences were alike, the Sawyers were able to adopt their new daughter through Harry Holt of Oregon, whose efforts in aiding Kogan children has gained him national attention.
Also the parents of two boys, the couple received little Kim about two years ago. A first grader at the Harper Elementary School, she has made a wonderful adjustment to her home and school life, relates Mrs. Sawyer.
Like Jane, her vocabulary was only limited to a few words when she arrived—but today her English puts a lot of natives to shame. Artistically inclined, she likes to draw, music, and singing and dancing.
Sawyer, a Marine engineer, has been a resident of Costa Mesa since 1944.
As part of the procedures yesterday, the new citizen had her name changed from Yung Ja Lee to Kim Minda.
Canada and Great Britain had the largest number of citizens yesterday, 18 listing as their place country Canada and nine from England. Mexico was next with seven.
As a part of the services, Judge Shea presented a talk on the responsibilities of citizenship. Officials of the American Legion and other organizations were present to honor the new citizens and present them with gifts.
Here are names of people who became new citizens yesterday.

She arrived in the United States more than two years ago and is now an important part of the Clark family.
Jane attends kindergarten at Patrick Henry School in Anaheim and according to Mrs. Clark has made a wonderful adjustment to her new home.
When she arrived she only knew a few words—but in two months it was amazing to see the progress she had made explained Clark.
With them yesterday was a scrap book with pictures and other documents relating to the "Jane Marguerite Clark story." In the book went the signature of Judge Shea, plus other items presented the new citizen at the ceremonies.

Hope to Renew Chapman Construction Soon
ORANGE (OCNS) — Corrective measures were already being studied today in hopes of beginning work again within the next two weeks at Chapman College dormitories.
Wednesday afternoon the City of Orange issued a "stop order" on all construction at the dormitory project north of Walnut Ave., between Blaffer and Grand. This was due to an engineering report terming certain core tests not up to building code regulations.
Robert Grant, civil engineer for Rule and Conkle, architects, said today he hoped to have his engineering analysis submitted to the city by Monday. He said the corrective measures that he will suggest will cost under $10,000.
City Building Superintendent George Shattuck issued the stop order Wednesday after conferring with city councilmen. The council members felt they had a definite responsibility to the community to make such a decision.
Use of Local Schools on Basis to Be Investigate
Members To Conduct Survey In Effort To Block Trend of Increased Costs
Seeking a means to block the spiraling trend of increased costs and taxes to support the public schools system, the AnaBeim Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously last night to recommend a study and investigation of greater use of existing classrooms, basically a twelve-month, mandatory four-quarter semester system.
Bill Walker, a member of the Education and Culture committee of the Chamber reported for Mowry Smith and stated that the basis for their recommendation was the fact that the recent $28,000,000 bond issues for the elementary and high schools placed school construction in the category of big business and that though the study may not reveal immediate savings it may offer material for use in the future that will save the tax payer money.
Currently, Walker stated, the physical plants of the schools are vacant approximately three months during the year, and it is this period that might be used to effect some relief.
The report on which the motion was based stated that instead of the customary semester plans now in effect, "let us assume a radical change over to a mandatory four-year."
$11,250,000 needed for new construction."
It was pointed out that this is theoretical since there is included in the building program replacement of unsafe structures, remodeling, and modernization of present structures. It was also pointed out that there would be an increase in salaries and educational costs due to the 12 months program, but considered slight in view of the savings.
Vacations could be staggered so that families having more than one child in the system, the eldest would set the quarter pattern and all other children in the same family would follow this pattern to keep families together.
In passing the motion it was pointed out that this is strictly a study and not a recommendation at the present time. Recommendations were requested to be completed prior to December, 1959 with contact to be made with the Associated Chambers of Orange County, the California State Cham-

Junior Building
The Orange County Fairgrounds board of directors is in line today for a financial windfall which may make possible construction of a new Junior Exhibits Bldg., to brighten the fair site in time for the 1960 fair.
In its meeting Wednesday night, the board agreed to sell 11.99 acres of land fronting on Newport Blvd. as right-of-way for the super freeway proposed by the State Highway Division.
Exact purchase price has not yet been spelled out by the Highway Division, but the transaction will net several thousands of dollars for local use, according to Stewart W. Yost, secretary-manager of the fairgrounds.
Net proceeds of the sale will be sent to the State Treasury as a special deposit, said Yost, and the money will have to be used for capital improvement of the fairgrounds. Probably the funds will be used to construct a new Junior Exhibits Bldg., he said.
Another fairgrounds improvement project already is under way, it was reported at the board meeting. The Boock Co., of Orange has begun grading operations in preparation for laying 180,000 square-feet of blacktop paving in the parking lot and surrounding new livestock facilities at the Costa Mesa fairgrounds.
The board approved agreements for use of fairgrounds facilities for three special events:
Girl Scout Art Show, May 8 and 9 in the Fine Arts Bldg.; horse show, August 14, 15 and 16 in the Arena under sponsorship of the Canon Riders Club; and benefit horse show, September 13 in the Arena sponsored by Mesa Boots and Saddle Club for Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults.
