Show Korean - American children to gather at camp By Ann Kilbourn Tribune Lifestyle Writer Bessie Sanborn, Salt Lake City, is giving ter adopted daughter Melinda, 8, a gift of bet iiage this month. For four days, Melinda, a will attend a Korean Heritage camp, sponsored by the Families Involved in Adoption (FIA) at Camp Red Cliff, Ogden Canyon. Mrs. Sanborn read about camps specifically oriented to Korean-America- n children in other parts of the country and decided she wanted something similar for her own daughter. n For some adopted children, all they know of Korea is what they have seen on the television series MASH. The children do question, wonder about Korea. Many adoptive parents arent equipped to answer questions their child might have about the country where he or she was born, she explained. Information About Korea Most parents have made available everything they can find in the community about Korea. And some Korean-America- n, Korean-Ameri-ca- Choose corduroy - Corduroy SILVER SPRING, a fabric Md. is rarity. It is one that continues to be in fashion year after year. This is great news because among its g other attributes, corduroy is a fabric that requires minimal cdre and can be worn by everyone. One corduroy outfit can give you years of wear and always be fashionable. That makes corduroy a great hard-wearin- buy. Because it wears so well, corduroy is also popular for upholstery and pillow covers. Another advantage of corduroy is that it comes in a variety of types, so that all kinds of style statements are possible. Different fabrics are also available. Corduroy, fabric, is traditionally an now being made of blends with synthetic fibers to add strength, body and durability. Usually, cotton is blended with polyester in 5050 or 6535 cottonpolyester blends. Cotton is also being blended with stretchy nylon to create a stretch corduroy. When youre choosing a corduroy item, look closely at its construction. Corduroy is heavy and needs more seam allowance than many fabrics. Also, corduroy is a pile fabric, meaning that one set of yarns is woven into the base fabric in such a way as to make its ends stand up. The durability of this pile depends on how these pile yarns are anchored to the base fabric. You may be able to pull a yarn out of an unexposed seam. Its shape will either be a V or W. The W weave is more durable because it is anchored to the background fabric by three yarns instead of one. Rubbing a corduroy surface may cause a loss of pile. The areas of the fabric most affected are those most abraded: knees, elbows, pant seats and inner legs. There is no way to correct the loss of pile. It is more common in constructions, however. The Salt Lake Tribune m WfZfr ir; Sunday, July 15, 1984 W7 7; V of the children have Asian friends from school, she said. But there are few Korean children within any one school. n The opportunity for Korean-America- children to meet each other, get acquainted, learn about their culture and share experiences was one reason Mrs. Sanborn was interested in the Korean Heritage camp experience for her daughter and other children in the area. I approached the Holt International Childrens Services Inc., a service that has arranged many adoptions of Korean children and sponsors Korean Heritage camps, to see if they would consider giving a heritage camp in Utah this year, Mrs. San- Phyllis Smith, left, Bessie Sanborn, supervise casual canyon picnic for their adopted Korean children. The two mothers will participate with their children and others at Korean Heritage Camp at Bed Cliff in Ogden Canyon. born said. The agency said they were planning three camps near their offices in New Jersey, Nebraska and Oregon. A Some wools softer - Are you a SILVER SPRING, Md. soft touch? If so, you probably like wool. Wool is by nature a soft fabric. Some wool items can be softer than others, however, depending on how the yarns are made and how the fabric is constructed. Unfortunately, the softer the fabric, the more prone it is to show some change in texture or feel with normal wear and care. To make wool fabrics extra soft, manufacturers give the yarns a looser twist, leaving them thicker and puffier. Then to add even more softness and fullness to the finished article, it can be knitted in a loose construction. This looseness of fiber and fabric construction makes soft wools more prone to snags and tears. These very soft wools are also highly prone to shrinkage. Tests show that because of their constructions even careful handling in cleaning can cause objectionable shrinkage. In some cases, this shrinkage continues to occur on the first two or three cleanings. The shrinkage may not be noticeable after the first cleaning, but after two or three cleanings, the shrinkage becomes objectionable. As long as the drycleaner has handled the garment according to the recommended care procedure, he should not be held responsible for the shrinkage. In tests by the International Fabri-car- e Institute (IFI), the worldwide association of drycleaners and launder-er- s, some garments constructed with very softly woven fabrics suffered shrinkage of 3 to 4 percent. The manufacturers of wearing apparel are responsible to preshrink fabrics to prevent shrinkage of over 2 percent in accepted drycleaning procedures. Utah Camp I feel I owe my daughter her heritage, Mrs. Sanborn continued. She decided she would organize a Korean Heritage camping experience similar to those she had read about and asked the Holt camp director, Sandy McLaughlin, for suggestions. Ms. McLaughlin referred Mrs. Sanborn to Doug Kim, San Francisco, who schedules Korean-America- n camp counselors for Korean youth camps across the country. Mr. Kim was able to schedule two n second generation Cliff. Hein counselors for Red camp Kim and James Lee, both from MichKorean-America- igan, attended Korean Heritage youth camps and are now counselors at the camp they attended as children. The counselors are college students and will educate the campers on Korean language, songs, tvUure, games and cooking. Regular camp experiences hik- ing, swimming, campfire cooking and nature studies are also included. Adoptive parents will join in the heritage experience as volunteers at the camp. Taking part in the Korean Heritage camp experience will help parents learn more about Korea too, Mrs. Sanborn added. Extra Work, Fun Essentially what it comes down to is extra work and extra fun for everyone. Other FIA parents and I started planning the camp in November. It was not soon enough. All of the adoptive Caucasian parents felt it would be good for their Korean children to be around other Korean children. There are more than 30 children signed up for the camp. n children dont necessarily have to be adopted just of Korean descent, Mrs. Sanborn said. This summer, all of the children registered for the Heritage Camp are adopted. Although the camp is designed for Korean children in the community, Mrs. Sanborn said this first camping venture will just have adopted campers. Parent Volunteers e volunThere will be six teer parents staying at the camp. Mrs. Sanborn explained she felt more campers ith so few volunteers for Korean-America- full-tim- Kirk, left, Brooke and Blair Smith enjoy summer lunch in Ogden Canyon. Smith supervision would not be adequate. Other parents have offered their time for different camping days. The theme of the camp session is the Olympics, Mrs. Sanborn added. And the campers will learn Korean sports, competitions and about the holidays of their country. Not all of the adopted Korean children in the community were adopted as infants, she continued. The older children do remember bits and pieces of their Korean culture. youngsters Tuesday will join other young s for camping program. Korean-American- The older children, between the ages of 6 and 10, speak some Korean. And they remember what life was like in Korea. If there are brothers and sisters, all adopted by one tamily, they help each other remember, Mrs. Sanborn explained. An adoptive family needs to help a child remember. Im sure there are children who had unhappy lives in Korea. But the good memories should remain. And it is important that they Children attending the Korean Heritage Camp this summer will unroll their sleeping bags Tuesday at Red Cliff. They will learn of their native customs and language for four days. On the last day of camp, parents will join their young campers for family camping. And each participant will learn that there is, indeed, more to Korea than MASH. FIND WHAT YOU WANT WITH anT;eDs 237-200- 0 do.
