New Citizen Sha
A new U.S. citizen shared some of
the history of her native country,
Costa Rica, and the steps she and her
family took to gain citizenship at a
recent meeting of the William Gause
DAR chapter.
"I'm glad to be an American," an
expressive Norma Solano of Shallotte
told the group. She also thanked the
Daughters of the American Revolution
(DAR) chapter for providing the
family with a manual to study in
preparation for taking their citizenship
test in Charlotte.
"The questions were easier than I
expected," she said. "They asked
about the three branches of governments,
who the president was and
what happens on July 4th.
"We had memorized the entire list
of presidents!"
Her daughter, Maureen Solano,
spoke briefly about being a young
person in a new country, of leaving
old friends and learning to make new
friends.
"I cried a lot at night after we first
moved here," she said. Today
Maureen attends F.ast Farnlina
University, where she is a member of
the Marching Pirates Band.
Earlier in the meeting, Lucille
Blake of Leland, regent, spoke about
the Ellis Island Restoration project
of the National Society, DAR. The
Ellis Island Immigration Museum, to
be opened in 1989, will be the nation's
leading museum dedicated to
American immigrants, and is expected
to draw 1.5 million visitors a
year.
It will house exhibits that tell the
poignant, inspiring story of
America's immigrant heritage. The
American immigrant Wall of Honor
will feature the names of thousands
of American immigrants. It will be
adjacent to the Great Hall, the
registry room through which millions
of hopeful immigrants entered
America.
The first Ellis Island Immigration
Station opened Jan. 1,1892. and dur
ing its first year nearly 450,000 immigrants
passed through the island
station. By 1951, 17 million immigrants
had been processed at Ellis
Island.
During these years the DAR provided
materials, volunteers and
assistance to the men and women as
they awaited processing.
Mrs. Blake concluded, "Since the
1920's, the DAR has helped immigrants
who have come to America.
For thousands of newcomers, the
Society's occupational therapy work
at Ellis Island provided a positive introduction
to the generosity and kindness
of Americans.
"For countless others, the DAR
Manual for Citizenship has been an

You hear it at night. A low rumble, swelling to an explosion
of sound.
That's right. You live with a snorer.
Snoring isn't fianny. It can be a symptom of sleep apnea,
a serious and potentially fatal sleep disorder.
Apnea Is Greek For
"Without Breath."
Snoring occurs when breathing passages are narrowed.
Colds, allergies, enlarged tonsils, or an abnormal closure
of the throat muscles may
be the cause. The last
