I take each issue of the Eighth Tribe to these meetings and leave them there for members to read and hopefully subscribe to. I am 1st generation American, and do understand some Hungarian, but murder it when I try to speak it. My mother, who came from Visk, is still living and is 84 years old, and I always give her the magazine to read. I enjoy reading the history of Hungary the most and the background of famous Hungarians, and someday hope that part of Rumania that originally was Hungary be returned to Hungary. Good luck to all the hard efforts being made by your people. I know its a difficult task. Most Hungarians are proud people but sure slow to get any response from and I can’t figure out why. Oh yes, our club meets in the evening at the Freedom Federal Bldg, in Port Charlotte, Fla. Sincerely, Anne Luther Gamboa Englewood, Fla. 33533 We urge our readers to participate in gathering news for publication in the Eighth Tribe. If articles of importance appear in your local press about persons of Hungarian descent, organizations or doings — send the clipping to us. THE STORY Op CREATION The story of creation, which dates back thousands of years, clearly proves that the ancient Huns and Magyars already believed in a one-God concept. UR-ISTEN has ruled over the world since it first existed. HE rules from his sun-drenched tent high up in the sky, together with his two beautiful sisters, BOLDOGASSZONY (BLESSED WOMAN), who is arrayed in shimmering sunbeams, and ORDONG, (THE EVIL ONE), who is clad in the black of the night. Now when He decided to create the Earth, URISTEN gave the work of beautifying the barren soil to his two sisters. Unfortunately, the two sisters’ work had directly opposite results. BOLDOGASSZONY let down the seven braids of her shining hair, and as she stroked her tresses gently over the Earth, seven rivers began to flow: Whereas when ORDONG’S hair touched the Earth, muddy swamps appeared at once. WHEN BOLDOGASZSZONY created the busy little honey-bee, ORDONG made a stinging, unproductive wasp. BOLDOGASSZONY planted the Earth full of fruit-bearing trees and bushes, edible mushrooms, and useful plants, while ORDONG created nothing but poisonous fruits and toadstools which were deadly poison. UR-ISTEN found out what ORDONG had done, and He forbade her making any more of her magic. ORDONG, in her anger, descended to the bottom of the sea that she might bring up a mouthful of wet clay, from which she prepared to fashion her own designs. At the very moment ORDONG came to the surface of the sea with her mouth filled with clay, UR-ISTEN gave the command from his heavenly tent for everything on the Earth to grow. Therefore, the clay in ORDONG’S mouth began to grow, too. She nearly suffocated. Her beautiful face became distorted and dark. Just as she was strangling on the clay, she was able to spit it out onto the surface of the Earth. Now up to that time, the surface of the Earth was as flat as the palm of God’s hand, but wherever ORDONG’S clay hit the surface of the Earth, it turned into rocks and mountains. UR-ISTEN was greatly angered. Piercing the Earth with His golden lance he banished ORDONG into the deep crevice made by His thrust. After the creation of the Earth was finished, UR-ISTEN reached up and broke off a small piece of the sun. From that piece He created the first man and the first woman. Since, after He had created
