Enclosed you will find more information. My dear wife, Ann Pota, passed away on September 9, 1984 in the afternoon at home peaceful­ly, with a smile on her face. The cause was congested heart failure. Last summer Ann and I visited Hungary for 24 days. I an very glad she had the opportunity to visit the land her father and mother came from. She and I enjoyed the trip to the fullest. We did meet, for the first time many of Ann’s cousins, aunts and uncles. Ann was layed to rest in her beautiful Hungarian costume and there were also a number of Hungarian Dancers from the Geauga Magyar Society in their Hungarian Dresses as Honor Guards. It was really beautiful. God bless you, Henry McBride Chadron, Ohio Hitchhikers Aided BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Driv­ers in this Soviet-bloc country now have added incentive for picking up hitch­hikers: The act of kindness might win them a car. Since the start of the year, the government has issued more than 1,000 hitchhikers’ cards, complete with a photo and identification of the bearer as having a permanent job and resid­ence. Attached to the cards, issued in an attempt to redüce the risks of picking up undesirables, are 20 lottery tickets, and “card holders are requested to give one to the driver who gives them a lift,” the Hungarian news agency MTI re­ported. “Lots are drawn annually with the first prize being a car.” HUNGARIAN LIFE-LINE The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America held its 32nd Quadrennial Convention starting on Monday, September 17,1984 at the Lord Ligonier Inn, Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
