ywi. 1080 THE EIGHTH TRIBE Page 3 Some one told me once: ‘The greatest enemy of a Hungarian is an other Hungarian.’ There is a well known fact, that no two persons can agree completely, but when important decisions have to be made, individual personality feeling should be put aside. We have to bridge the gaps between us. One of our readers sent us a magazine, published for the American Lithuanians. It has a five to six thousands circulation. In it I read about THEIR Cultural Institute — and they are much less in number than the American-Hungarians. In this particular monthly issue, they list over $900.00 individual small donations. They also listed 16 donations to a ‘Living Memorial Fund’ of $500.00 each. They also have a Memorial Fund for any amount. A Building Brick Memorial at $10.00 a brick. Here is quote from this magazine: “Many people have asked if the Museum will take stocks, endowments, or property as a donation to the building fund. The answer is ‘yes’. This type of donation is the backbone of all cultural istitution reserves. A large donation would build a wing for a library, or art gallery.” Isn’t this a shining example for us to follow? For two years we are trying to collect donations for a Hungarian Cultural Institute here in Ligonier, we have only $2,000.00 to show for it. Here the little American Lithuanians surpassed that amount by many thousand dollars in one month. What is our answer to this!

We deeply appreciate your kindness in sending this material to the Library of Congress. Sincerely, Nathan R. Einhorn Chief Exchange and Gift Div. Library of Congress Dear Mr. Chomos: Years ago going to Minnesota, in the late 20’s or early 30’s, I remember going thru Fond do Lac, I recall a sign —weather beaten — but fairly legible“ Harasztyville”. I did inquire in town regarding the sign and was informed that it was the former name of the town. Had I known it was significant to Hungarians I believe I would have gone back and aquired the sign. Also on a trip to Florida in the early 30’s was told to take the scenic route from Charleston and the exit from the scenic route would lead us to the road to Florida. As we entered a park on a slight hill there was a grave — Capt. M. K. Fabriczy — Had I known who was interned there I would have taken a few pictures. Through the article in the Eighth Tribe it soon dawned on me that I saw the original grave on that trip. So it took 50 or 60 years to realize that I saw the original grave and that thanks to the article in the Eighth Tribe, and this is another reason I want to help you bring out these facts in the Eighth Tribe. I consider the Eighth Tribe a valuable publication and this magazine should be read throughout the U. S. and Canada. From my point of view there is a very great need for this paper reaching people of Hungarian origin. Best wishes, Louis L. Ambrose (Ambrus) Chicago, Illinois We urge our readers to participate in gathering news for publication in the Eighth Trobe.
