Page 4 FiOHTFX AUGUST 1979 the first TRAVELING NATIONAL FLAG of HUNGARY (which began its around the world tour in 1951 by Peter Seres, the Túrán emigrant Magyar brother), was closely guarded last October 28th by four lovely girls: Elizabeth and Maria Gulyás, Christy Petro and Suzanna Ekker, who were appropriately dressed in Hungarian folk costumes. After the Magyar prayer under the flag by the Protestant Bishop Aron Elek, the president of the Hungarian Freedomfighter Movement, Prof. Andor Paposi-Jobb pledged in the name of the Revolutionary Council of the HFFM, that the flag will be carried victoriously to Hungary where a NEW HISTORY BEGAN because only . .

McHenry US Ambassador to the UNO Trianon Committee Elemér Pápay Foreign Affairs Louis F. Molnár US Mission to the UN 799 UN Plaza Ny, Ny. 10017 Publication Dear Mr. Secretary, Tibor Major Organization Tibor Lovagi Financial Committee Charles Hartman In the name of the Hungária Freedomfighter Movement which came into existence in October, 1956 when the Hungarian people bravely rose up against the ruthless Soviet oppression, I wish to share with you a copy of a mailgram which the HFFM sent to President Carter. From this letter you can clearly see our concern about our U.S. government's "do-nothing" attitude toward Soviet behaviour around the world. The members of the Revolutionary Council of the HFFM greatly admire your personal achievements in the world of politics and your patriotic stance in the UNO on behalf of the U.S. hostages in Teheran as well as of your stern disapproval of the recent Soviet advancements in Afghanistan. The HFFM, the defacto political and cultural representative of peace and freedom loving Hungarians all over the world, respectfully urges you to do your utmost within your influential and creative post in the UNO to make the U.S. political force most effective in the face of the Godless Soviets. By all means vote for military and economical support to be given to the Pakistanis as well as the Afghanistanis so that they may be helped to defend and liberate themselves from the cruel claws of the Russian Bear, least history is to repeat itself and they too will suffer the same fate as the ancient people of Hungary did in 1945 and in 1956. Most Respectfully fours, Andor S. Jobb de Papos, President of HFFM ONE MORE DEATH BLOW In September, 1979. Israel exploded a nuclear bomb with the help of the Union of South-Africa. Israel claimed that she has a number of Hidrogén bombs as well — more then India, but less then Red- China! Israel is the seventh country that experimented with and exploded such weapons in human history. {UPI report 2 /21 / 80) CELEBRATION A little over a year ago a brilliant son of the Magyars, a profound thinking immigrant from Hungary, Dr. Béla Kolarits, asked a question in his editorial entitled:c‘Will There Be Another Celebration in This World?1' (Értesítő, Jan. 1979), a question, I am sure in many disillusioned peoples’ minds, will justly be asked year after year for some time to come! After so many wars, sufferings and so much destruction in place of the long awaited PEACE only hate filled Peace Dictums, Reparations and Misgivings followed. The world echoes stories about the lives of many children that are terribly disheartening. For example, the February 25, 1980 issue of the SPOTLIGHT (a weekly newspaper from Washington, D.C., U.S.A.) stated on pg. 19 that “At least 10,000 children are being held under inhuman conditions in concentration camps in the U.S.S.R. This was reported by the MARTYR CHURCH RELIEF AGENCY IN UHLDINGEN, with reference to a report by the Central Investigation Center on Prisons and Forced Labor Camps in the Soviet Union. General reports and individual case histories are being assembled concerning the imprisonment of these children even in the Year of the Child .” M.C.R. Agency states that: “. . . reports from Russia have increased recently, according to which many children of devout Christian parents are subjected to more and more harsh treatment. Children are separated from their parents by misleading official orders. They sent to the concentration camps or placed in atheistic homes. It is usually impossible for the parents to locate their children once they are kidnapped by the Bolsheviks.” In contrast it is greatly uplifting and satisfying to see that there are places yet in this world where the lot of the children is more promising, where the parents are free to love, support and guide their children toward a more creative life and human fulfillment. For example, Mr. and Mrs. László Mogyorossy’s daughter, Sylvia, a seventh grader in the great city of Chicago, did not lack an ounce of encouragement when she composed the following poem in English which even without a title clearly gets to the point: The white crested waves roar toward the shore Bringing fear to ever]1 heart and more The wind howls the tree limbs wave While the one God in heaven raves Every animal and beast alive can see It's coming, it s coming no peace shall there be The ocean roars, and animals hide They wait for the terror side by side The animals can sense it, they can feel it, as the sky turns black For those who aren't sheltered there's no turning back The death silence breaks as thunder blooms It's here, you can feel it, as overhead it looms The rain shall stay for forty days and nights And the water shall reach it’s greatest heights For the people are punished, they have done wrong There will be a flood that will be remembered for long. Sylvia speaks Hungarian beautifully which she learned from her parents and she is proud of her ancient heritage. But there is another little girl, a 4th grader, Zsuzsika Jobb, from the small town of Clarion, Pa. She, too, speaks the oldest tongue in the world. Zsuzsika is a budding artist and pictorially expresses many of her thoughts and ideas of life and history. In a small painting, entitled: “The Pilgrims,” she paid visual tribute to the heritage of modern America and last summer this painting was among the numerous entries in a children’s art exhibit in Shippensburg State College at the Huber Art Center. Under the title “My Art Reflects Me” with the support of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Curriculum Services and Special Education, and in celebration of the International Year of the Child (IYC, 1979 U.N.) exhibit director Dr. Harry Bentz, brought together a children’s art exhibit. Children the world over draw and paint the subjects most important to them and speak a universal language! In their individual ways they innocently speak of their own “Trianons,” “Yaltas” and “Helsinkis.” Be they Hungarians, Slovaks, Croatians, or Polish, Afghanistanis, American Indians or Japanese, they all have their “Hiroshimas,” “Kathny Forests,” or “Kerala Mass Graves” as well as their pretty gardens, furry pets and lollypops. In recent article entitled: “Where Are Thou Youth?” (Szabadságharcos Híradó, Jan. 1980) the editor warns that children of the Magyar emigration tend to lose out, become faceless, rootless, and spiritless. The celebration, the way our fathers and their fathers knew in their world persistantly become an illusion of the past, it would seem! But as we turn from the yesteryear toward a new Spring and if we dare to lift our hearts and eyes in contemplation to our Lord HADÚR of the MAGYARS and dare to wish for new leaders full of wisdom as well as vision—the Sylvias and Zsuzsikas shall find truth and happiness free of fear and exploitation. Dr. Kolarits was right when he wrote that: “Brilliant rays of love and peace will illuminate the days of gloom and sorrow and there will be hope in our future filled with happy new years. THERE WILL BE CELEBRATION IN THIS WORLD!
