January, 1983 THE EIGHTH HUNGARIAN TRIBE Page 3 THE EDITOR’S CORNER .. . The miniscule move by the Hungarian government on the behalf of the Transylvanian Hungarian people is encouraging, even though it falls far short of what we could reasonably expect. The action, or rather the inaction of the Hungarian government and the leading circles is bordering on not on timidity, but on outright acquiescence concerning the enslavement of their own blood in Rumania. Can we expect more positive action, particularly on the part of the informed Hungarians? The year of 1983 is upon us — with this issue we are entering into the tenth year of publication. The Eighth Tribe magazine was hurried for over forty years, if it were not for the sacrifices of the owners of the Betjilen Press, the magazine would have been folded in its first year, just as it did in the 1930-s. The question is: how many people of the 1.6 million of American Hungarians realize the real importance of this magazine and of the Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation and firmly stand behind it. Will it generate enough support to have somebody continue the work of this magazine. We would like to thank the Chicago and Környéke; Amerikai Magyar Értesítő; the Reformátusok Lapja; the William Penn Association and the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America for publishing information in their respective fraternal papers about the Eighth Tribe. Also a special thanks to Miss Helen Kopsco of Youngstown, Ohio, who inserted the information appeared in the last issue in the “Youngstown Vindicator” at her own expense. We would like to acknowledge the membership of the youngest Hungarian Reformed Church in the United States, from Phoenix, Arizona; their action should be an example to all churches. Please Note: that after this issue all those who did r.ot pay their 1981-82 subscriptions will not receive the February issue; also the complimentary copies to churches, pastors and others will be discontinued. ’MjrrxmwiTiT/tJTsrifJTjr^jfmYififjXJviriijTizjumAWJLgjutjnn — Give a Gift Subscription to your Children and Grandchildren — ZnEKaB22QöaBE2E2Q£2QE2QE2£2E2GE2QQQ£2E2aEE2QQaK2e222E2QBa DONATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE HUNGARIAN EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION For the establishment of a Hungarian Cultural Institute for the preservation of our Hungarian Heritage.
