I have seen the February copy, and am delighted with it’s content regarding our great heritage that must be passed on to future generations. Sincerely, Sister M. Aquina Bethlehem, Pa. Dear Editor: Congratulations on your marvelous publication of the Eighth Tribe. As a second generation“Magyar” it is gratifying to see and read such an excellent publication. I cherish my Hungarian heritage. Wish you continued success. Sincerely, Margaret Pozsgay Chicago, 111. Gentlemen: I wish you would keep repeating your story about Atilla, until Hungarians with that name realize their mistake and start writing that beautiful name the right way. There is no two ways of writing Atilla. It was always one ‘t’ and two ‘ll’-s. Only the western world started with two ‘t’-s and one T, and of course Hungarians had to follow. Why? I will never know! Why do we always have to copy the West, when our ways are more beautiful. This most beautiful name will not even sound right with two ‘t’-s. Please keep telling people until it is made right. We should be very proud of our ancestors and the past, because ours is the most magnificent heritage, and we have no need to copy anybody. We are the only people, who can say: We are the only descendants of the Sumirs, our our language is the most beautiful. And thank you “Hadúr” for giving me I he great honor, that I was born a Hungarian. Very truly yours, Mrs. László Kocsis, Los Angeles, Cal. YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED TO KEEP THIS MAGAZINE ALIVE! BE AN ADVOCATE IN ITS BEHALF.
