October, 1979 THE EIGHTH TRIBE Page 3 An important note to all subscriber«: Due to increased cost in materials and postage, we are forced to increase our subscription price to ten ($10.00) dollars per year beginning with the November issue. To show our appreciation to those who have been with us through the past years, you may renew your 1980 subscription for $8.00, if sent in before December 13th, 1979. You can find your expiry date (month) on your name sticker. To all those people who are getting this magazine and did not send in their subscription, despite our note to them, we shall stop sending it with the December issue. For the last five years we sent complimentary copies to all churches and pastors. Few churches and pastors chose to send in their subscriptions. We believe all churches and pastors can afford the yearly subscription, and it is not fair to the other churches and pastors, who did pay, to receive a free subscription.

Continued success in your endeavors. Respectfully yours, Mrs. Margaret J. Kalrincsak Introducing . . . DR. KÁLMÁN BOGNÁR One of the most interesting professors at Slippery Rock State College in Pennsylvania, was Dr. Kalman Bognár, a professor of geography and a true gentleman of various talents and capabilities. A prolific writer of both cultural and academic articles, a talented violinist, and a skilled championship swimmer. He was 47 years old when he left Hungary and already had had a successful career as a meterologist, having received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Budapest. Dr. Bognár was a lieutenant colonel in the Hungarian Air Force for three years until 1950, serving as the commander of the Meteorologist School for the Air Force. As Communist suppression began, he spoke out against it and became a displaced person. This led to his incarceration in a deportation camp from 1950 until 1953. After his release, one year later Dr. Bognár worked as a hydrogeologist for the National Geological Survey in Budapest until he left Hungary in 1956. Dr. Bognár received another Ph.D. degree from the University of Vienna in Austria and joined the faculty of the Königin Juliana Realgymnasium in Iselsberg, Austria, which is a school for Hungarian youths who have left Hungary. The school was established by the U.N. and supported by Juliana, the queen of the Netherlands. He served as a lecturer there until 1960 when be decided to join his daughter in the United States. In coming to the United States, Dr. Bognár has joined the nearly one million Hungarians living in this country, a group which Dr. Bognár describes as “very active people, very successful.” The number of Hungarians now teaching in higher education, he explained, would fill the faculty ranks of three large universities in this country. A group in this country in which Dr. Bognár is very active is the Arpad Academy in Cleveland, Ohio. This organization, named after the founder of Hungary, consists of Hungarians in the professions who live outside of their native country. Dr. Bognár was honored by the Arpad Academy
