1984-12-01 / 12. szám
Letters Dear Sir; Great to be here where my mother and father were born and came from to live in New Jersey. Will get in touch when I get back home to become a member of the Eighth Tribe Foundation. John Mészáros Thanks for the card. — Editor. * * * Dear Mr. Pulitzer: We read your reply to Dr. Victor Molnar’s criticism in the October-November issue of your fine magazine with special interest because we visited Hungary this past summer and learned a great deal about the attitude of most Hungarians towards their form of government. Like you claimed, most of the younger people we met and talked with are satisfied with it, but hope for better housing conditions, more freedom to travel, improved relations with the United States, and, above all, employment offering greater opportunities for advancement. Nobody wants war or domestic upheavals. All they want to do is live in peace. Mrs. Augusta Chernik Fort Lauderdale, Florida * * * Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Why is it that, so far, you have not bothered to reply to the accusations made against your magazine in some of the Hungarian newspapers because of some of the things you reported in your "News from Hungary"? Albert Toth Philadelphia, Pa. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Because the allegations leveled against us have no substance in fact and because we can't afford the luxury they can of wasting time with such nonsense.) * * * Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Is it true, like they wrote in one of the weekly newspapers, that your magazine gets money from the Magyarok Vilagszovetsege? A.K. Yonkers, N.Y. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Baloney! But, maybe, their gold bullion shipment to us may have gotten itself lost somewhere in transit because it hasn't arrived yet! Too bad, we could certainly put it to good use!) Dear Mr. Pulitzer: It is a fact of life that, those who try to do something, are always criticized by those who have never tried and never will. So keep right on going. You are doing a great job with your magazine. Dr. Michael Nemeth Richmond, Virginia To whom it may concern: Here it is, the end of the month and I still did not receive the Eighth Tribe magazine; the last month came late also. I am paid up till August 1985, for which I paid in July. At the same time I also paid for a gift subscription for my niece in Cleveland. If you people are folding up, let your subscribers know. I think all of us would like to know what’s going on, especially your old subscribers. Helen Sutch West Mifflin, PA We are very sorry for your inconvenience, we are sure we'll be back on track in ’85. — Editor. * * * Gentlemen: I enjoyed your Oct.-Nov. issue very much. The article by Bob Chomos was very touching and I feel I have found a kindred soul. Keep up your good work. Jack Berenyi Atlantic City, N.J. * * * Dear Editor: The articles in your recent issues by Mr. Pulitzer and Dr. Molnár were one of the best. Please give them a free hand to express themselves. Emeric Denes Pottstown, Pa. * * * Dear Mr. Chomos, I find the Hungarian lessons appearing in your magazine very helpful. Please continue. Mrs. Helen Rigo Syracuse, N.Y. * * * Dear Sir; Why don't you sue those people calling you a communist? I have been reading the Eighth Tribe for years and I know their accusations are false. Paul Lucas, Trenton, N.J. It’s not worth the effort. — Editor * * * Dear Sirs, I just love your magazine and I wish I could help you financially, but being a student it is kind of hard. Pal Gerzsei Chicago, 111. Thanks for your concern. — Editor. * * * Gentlemen; I was very disappointed for not getting the September issue till October. Finally the Oct.Nov. issue arrived shedding some light on your problem. I like the magazine and would like to see it flourish. Maybe you could cut down on the pages so your cost would be less. Mrs. Marge Köteles Los Angeles. Ca. * * * Dear Editor; Have received your Oct.-Nov. issue which was excellent. You indicated the December issue will come out in time. I hope so since I look forward to it each month. I would be interested in a group tour of Hungary like the kind you indicated since I am afraid to go alone to a communist country. Mrs. Ethel Boldizsár Los Angeles, Ca. All Eastern European countries are looking for the U.S. dollar and are not about to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. You shouldn’t have any problem. — Editor. * * * Dear Sir: Why doesn’t the Hungarian government and the Hungarian people help their Transylvanian brothers. Its a shame, shame, shame. It seems to me they should be able to do something. Michael Ference San Diego, Ca. * * * Dear Mr. Chomos; Enclosed is a check for $15.00 for my subscription renewal for the new year. This is just a suggestion, but why don’t you combine the Oct.-Nov.-Dec. issues and get caught up for the new year. Looking forward to the next issue and the Magyar Reader. Mary Pinter Philadelphia, PA * * * Dear Editor; I am wondering if there is difficulty with the Eighth Tribe. I have not received the October issue as of this date. Recently I ordered a Gift Subscription asking that if possible to start with the September issue, so they cold read about the story of the miracle of the "Weeping Mother of Mariapocs." Anna M. Toth Bobtown, PA * * * Dear Mr. Chomos; I am sending a check for one year subscription (1985). Your magazine is getting better every time and very interesting reading. I like the "Magyar Reader", I have learned a lot from it. I missed the October issue, I don't know if you sent it or it got lost. I am looking forward to your next article on the "Weeping Mother of Mariapocs", especially concerning the bucsu-pilgramage observed in different places. Mrs. Louis Toth Hellertown, PA * * * Dear Mr. Pulitzer; All of us from Whiting, N.J. who subscribed to the Eighth Hungarian Tribe magazine would like to know what happened to the paper, we have been getting the paper later and later in the last three months. For a while we thought you went on vacation, the printing press broke down, the company went bankrupt, etc. Let your subscribers know, not just let us wait in anger. The paper is very informative, a plesure to read. Let one of the Whiting subscribers know what happened and we will pass the word around. Gabriella Richards Whiting, N.J. December, 1984 Faxe 4
