Also try to get donations for the Eighth Tribe Foundation, which is now a Chartered Organization. HUNGARIAN FILMS: Dr. László Fabo is the man to request for Hungarian Movies. His address is: 22 Hancock Street, San Francisco, California 94114. Telephone 415—863-1451. I am sure that he would be more than happy to help out anyone’s need in securing Hungarian Movies. As public relation person for the Eighth Tribe presently I am working amongst the American Hungarians in California, spreading the word about the Magazine; the Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation, and, the aim of the Foundation: the Hungarian Cultural and Educational Institute. The work is not easy, lime consuming, but fruitful. I ask all the readers, who are from Calfomia that in case they would like to get in touch with me my present address is: 696 East William Street, San Jose, California 95112. Phone: 408—293-3054. Also, I would like to hear from the people who attended the August, 1981 Conference in Ligonier, Pa. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR : Dear Mr. Chomos: Keep up the good work! Now that I’ve been reading your valuable publication for over a year, I’m more convinced, that you should earn God’s blessings for your efforts, and for your dedication. I hasten to add, your family deserves to share in this blessing. The article, on page 4 of the February 1982 issue, by Tibor E Baráth on the “Origin of the Hungarians in Oriental Light” is exciting. Does Bethlen Press offer for sale his 3 volume works entitled “Ancient History of the Hungarians”? What about works by Prof. Badiny Jós Ferenc? If not, where can on inquire? Dealership for books of this quality might prove profitable to the operation of the Bethlen Press. While the magazine is most interesting in content now, may I make a few suggestions that might enlarge it? 1. A page(s) of recollections and remembrances by and of the “old” Hungarians — some all the way back to the first immigrants to the new world; by their descendants, if not the “pioneer.” Some descendants may have the vaguest sence of recalling their Magyar ancestry, but I feel the “new” immigrants are just as lacking in understanding of the “old”, as vice versa. 2. A page of cultural recollections and actual instructions in arts and crafts (wood-working, music and instruments, weaving, leatherwork, much more I can’t know of), recipes of not only women’s cooking, but the meat-curing, etc. Detailing customs and practices. The ancient material (data) would be from professionals. Others from the “common people”. 3. A “search” page. I’m trying to locate a brother. This would be a revenue-producing page(s), but I was impressed a short time ago about the success of the Israel computor effort to help survivors of the WW II holocust find relatives and friends. The “old” Hungarians and their descendants are in special need of this service. About a year ago a woman wrote to you about locating old friends of her parents. The above may be of some worth and are offered as such. Sincerely, Viola C. Spencer Phoenix, Arizona Dear Mr. Chomos: My cousin, Sikú János and his wife Erzsébet Sándor Síkú from Tiszaada, Hungary wrote to me to ask if I could locate Erzsébet’s nephew last known to be from McKeesport, Pa. They don’t know if he is still alive or not. If he or his family can be located, they wish to correspond with him and / or his family. I feel that if anyone can find them, it woud be the readers of THE EIGHTH TRIBE. His name is Sándor József, and he was born in 1912. His mother’s name was Kállai Erzsébet and he married in 1931 Ethel Rosella, who was born March 1, 1918 in Washington. His mother’s last address was: Mrs. József Sándor, Liberty Way, McKeesport, Pa. He and his wife had a son born in 1932, name unknown. If any readers know of this family, they can contact me where to write in Hungary. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Mrs. Sharon I.
