Page 2 THE EIGHTH TRIBE October, 1977 DEDICATION This magazine is dedicated to the Eighth Tribe in America which is made up from descendants of the original Seven Magyar Tribes. Whatever their faith, their familiarity with their ancestral language, or their degree of Hungarian ancestry, we address ourselves to each of them. THE EDITOR’S CORNER:— The editor attended a church conference held in Akron, Ohio on September 23 and on October 2 the Hungarian Festival at Newbury, Ohio, sponsored by the Geauga County (Ohio) Cultural Society. At the church conference the main topic was once again “How can we keep our youth in the fold?” After all the discussions there was not one concrete recommendation. The common agreement was that the solution should begin in the homes. We should teach our youth to be proud of their Hungarian Heritage and their membership in a Hungarian church. Some of our youth feel inferior when they hear about other nationalities, who claim all the success in making this country what it is now. They probably do not know that the American- Hungarians contributed just as much. We had soldiers in the U.S. Continental Army; the U.S. Cavalry THE EIGHTH TRIBE Editor ............................................................ Sándor E. Chomos Contributing Editors: ...........

Bethlen Press, Inc. was formed by a Hungarian; in the Civil War we had many officers, a few with the rank of general in the Union Army, one of which received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Also in the Civil War thousands of Hungarians were in the ranks which fought shoulder to shoulder with soldiers of other nationalities. In the famous Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic age, there were more Hungarian born scientists than of any other nationality. Most of the U.S. Symphony Orchestras have Hungarian conductors. As for second generation’s achievement: In 1966, Miss Judith M. Remenyi was crowned as Miss U.S.A. In 1977, Miss Christina Ellen Möller was crowned as Junior Miss U.S.A. In 1976 Dr. D. Carlton Cajdusek of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke received the Nobel Prize for Medicine. If the second and third generations of Hungarian descendants were acquainted with these facts their attitude might be changed, and they would be proud to belong to a Hungarian Church (Protestant or Catholic), or to declare their Hungarian Ancestry. They should realize they are equal with all other nationalities that this great country is composed of. The aim of the Eighth Tribe is the fulfillment of this obligation, but the final action lays in the homes! The main way to reach the homes is through the churches. Almost every church has Sunday church bulletins, the pastors have their weekly announcements. We gladly send extra copies to them to show around at the women’s club, the men’s club, youth clubs and the church council meetings. We have three Fraternal Insurance Societies founded by our forefathers. It would be to their advantage to have their membership receive this magazine. • • • On October 2 the editor had the pleasure to listen to Mrs. Ann McBride’s radio program on the way to Newbury, Ohio Hungarian Festival, sponsored by the Geauga County Hungarian Cultural Society. The radio program is interesting from beginning to end. The Festival was attended by hundreds of people, and it was a success. It is an example of what can be done with determination to succeed in something one believes. (The complete report in the next issue). The Editor would like to thank the members of the Geauga County Hungarian Cultural Society for the courtesy extended to him.
