March, 1081 THE EIGHTH TRIBE Page 3 We were just informed about the death of Rev. Dr. Artliua A. Ludwig, pastor of the Hungarian Reformed Church in Indiana Harbor, Indiana. Rev. Ludwig was one of the earliest supporters of this magazine and the Eighth Tribe Foundation.. He will be greatly missed not only by his congregation, but also by many friends he aquired through his lifetime. Our deepest sympathy to the Ludwig family. An article on Reverend Ludwig can be found on page 15 of this magazine. No greater tribute can be paid to any one as one of his friends remembered him: Everyone who knew him felt a warmth toward him, which was unusual. He had a noble character and was a humanitarian. Each passing months we are reporting of the passing of a member of the Eighth Tribe Family. Should not this be a sign for us — that there is not much time left for us to accomplish, to fulfill our responsibility through the Eighth Tribe Foundation. »■.»i.——— i — DONATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO THE EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION For the establishment of a Hungarian Cultural Institute for the preservation of our Hungarian Heritage.

Csordás is the Dean of the New York Classis of the Hungarian Reformed Church in America. Letters to the editor:— March 4, 1981 Dear Eigth Tribe: I would be pleased to attend your tentatively scheduled conference in Ligonier on August 20—22, 1981. Just as there is a need for an English language national publication for American-Hungarians, there is also a need for a meeting that brings together such individuals to discuss topics of mutual interest. Wether you realize it or not a significant part of the American-Hungarian community looks to you for leadership. They may not always do what you would like, but they will listen to what you have to say and consider it. Regardless of the number of people who attend the conference, it should be enjoyable and it should provide a chance for some worthwhile dialogue between people who share your concerns. Üdvözlettel Arthur A. Bartfay Columbus, Ohio “Non-English languages have been spoken and written in America since her discovery. These languages are a valuable national resource for our country — easily as valuable as any of our other national resources — and it is important for us to be able to safeguard and strengthen them because of their major cultural and educational contributions to our well-being.” In this issue and coming issues we wiH have articles on “Atilla (Attila) and the Huns.” In these articles ‘Atilla spelled with one ‘t’ and two ‘ll’-s. This has created a controversy amongst the readers regarding the correct spelling. The two ‘11’ s are the old version, can be found in many articles about Atilla. The newest version is spelled with two ‘tt’-s and one T. Change and Addition on Radio Page: WDUQ — 90.5 FM, Pittsburgh, Pa. — Sunday, 12:30 to 2:00 o’clock.
