PAGE SIX U. §. Citizenship Papers Look Good To One Local Girl When asked, if she was happy | atut just becoming a citizen of | the United States, Mrs. Walt Johnson had a quick answer, | “I just couldn't be happier,” she replied enthusiastically. Mrs. Johnson, Margot to her | friends, and with those she works | with at the Fish and Wildlife Ser: ‘ was one of six Juneau p who received Uncle Sam in district court Thursdaj vice son: bless Margot thinks she has special | reasons to be happy about her for- | tune after arguments and delay | over papers and passports for | years. She was born in India and was, | therefore, a British subject during the first part of her life. But when | she married her first husband, a Hollander, she automatically be- | came a Dutch subject. | Sie went to Shanghai in 1939 | with her husband, and ran into| oné of her first difficulties short- ly before the Japanese took that city in 1941. war was imminent and to be evacuated along with Bgit- ish subjects She was told “no soap” in effect, but she did have a chance to go to Java as a Dutch citizen She is still profoundly | thankful she didn't take that of-| fer. Java became poor sanctuary. ! However, she had cause to won- | der at her decision shortly nrter{ when the Japanese swept through Shanghai and she was interned in a concentration camp. And there she remained with hundreds of others for the duration, although a good number of her companions in the camp—Ametricans, British | and some others—were exchanged | through the efforts of neutral | countries. | Her four years of experience in the concentration camp were any- thing but pleasant. While she says | her two cupsful of “dirty rite” a. day did not - hurt her as it did many ,she remembers the wonder- | ful packages of food that were| parachuted down to the prisoners as soon as the war ended. | She was heading for England | and Scotland after she was freed | but liked New York City and de- | layed her trip. She then decided | to visit relatives in Canada. She found that they were in British | Columbia, thousands of miles from | New York, but was not dismayed | after her other travels and came | to Vancouver. | Margot was working for Canadian Pacific when she met Walt John- son, now with Juneau motors. Again it was delay after delay be- fore she could get her papers straightened out so she could marry him. And after waiting for two years after her marriage to get her citi- zenship papers, she has reason to be relieved—and happy. 6 Juneauifes Made U. §. Citizens In Courf (eremony In an impressive . ceremony in U. S. District Court Thursday, six Juneau persons became full-fled- ged citizens of the United States. These six were admitted and given the oath of allegiance by Judge George W. Folta: Sammy Quejada, Philippino; Arthur Van Humbeck, Belgian; Ernest Philips, Britich, Evelyn Vinson, Canadian; Margot Johnson, Netherlander; and Charles Dinsdale, British. Following the oath of allegiance, the colors were advanced by an American Legion color guard com- prised of George F. Christman, Ken- Thibodeau, William Clark, and John Tanaka. H. L. Faulkner, Ju- neau attorney, delivered a patriot- | ic.address to the new American cit- | izens, and they were given pamph- lets, “Welcome to Naturalization.” | Judge Folta made a short talk, | and the colors were retired. | It was evident that | she tried { | indoctrination. in | The members of the Cosmopolitan | Rose Blooms in Time For Christmas at Soropfimist Club Has Luncheon Meet h Miss Patricia Oakes was the rca-!wes' 'hmea" ome tured speaker at the regular Friday ¢ During the pre-Christmas snow luncheon meeting of the Soropti- | anq wind storm a rose bloomed on mist Club at the Baranof Hotel.[tne Channel side of the Douglas Other guests were Mrs. Glenn | gighway, Oakes and Mrs. Robert Hoopes, Who | No miracle, it blossomed in the | is here from Fairbanks visiting her | home of Esther Commet of West parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stev ’ uneau.
