The $1000 bond Mrs. Ellis wants to donate to help restore the Statue of Liberty is the direct descendant of the bonds on that tree. She sent it first to the U S. Treasury Department, with a handwritten note scrawled on the back instructing that it be used for the statue. It came back by return mail, with a form letter explaining that the federal government is not financing the statue’s restoration and giving the address of the Statue of Liberty Foundation of New York. Now she intends to redeem the bond and have a check issued to the foundation. Clasping a visitor’s hand with a grip belying her age, she suc­cinctly explained why the gift is so important to her. “I have nobody and my life is short, so I wanted something for America to remember.

NYÁRI MAGYAR ISKOLA A SZÓRVÁNY MAGYARSÁG SZOLGÁLATÁRA A Magyar Cserkészszövet­ség 1985. július 6. - 27. - ig tartja szokásos nyári iskoláját a Sík Sándor Cserkészparkban, Fill­more, NY-ban. Szeretettel hívunk minden magyarul beszélő, 8-14 éves gyermeket. A jelentkezőktől alapfokú magyar tudást kívánunk, mert minden foglalkozás, még a játék is, magyarul folyik. A magyar közösségben élés, az ország­világ különböző részeiről érkező fiataloknak megmutatja, hogy nyelvünk és kultúránk összetartó kapocs, drága örökség, s nem “csodabogár” az, akit szülei kétnyelvűségre nevelnek. Az oktatás, a gyermekek tudásszintjét és korát alapul véve 6 osztályban folyik, Fotantárgyak: helyes magyar beszéd; szókincs növelés; és helyesírás. Az írás, fogalmazás és beszéd gyakorlatok témáit a magyar irodalom, történelem, földrajz anyagából vesszük. Tanítóink hétvégi magyar iskolák nevelői és cserkészvezetők. A tandíj teljes ellátással, iskolaszerekkel, kirándulási és fürdés díjakkal együtt a három hétre 390.00 dollár. Családoknak több gyermek jelentkezése esetén kedvez­ményt adunk. A Sík Sándor Cserkészpark Continued on page 10 column 3 YOUTH CORNER By Barbara Botkin Barbara Botkin Children and Easter Easter, like Christmas, is a very exciting time for young children. A time that prompts thoughts of Easter Bunnies, jelly beans, marshmallow chicks, and gaily decorated eggs, all beautifully arranged in a pretty basket ladened with bright colored straw. Parents enjoy making this holiday special and fun for fheir small children. Just as at Christmas time, parents get caught up in the fun of it all, en­joying the look of gleeful an­ticipation on their children’s faces, as well they should. Parents are reminded though that even young children are capable of understanding the more serious side of Easter and its message of love and hope for all of us. It is not necessary to dwell on the enormous amount of suffering Jesus ex­perienced on the cross in dying for us, in explaining what Easter means. But simply stating that Jesus died on Good Friday and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday is selling a young child short on all that Easter represents. Little ones cannot, in all prob­ability, comprehend someone loving them so much that He would die for them. But to con­vey the idea of sacrifice, the main theme of Lent, a parent can encourage a child of age 4 or 5 or older to do without something he or she likes, maybe a certain kind of candy. This sacrifice may seem like a big one to a child, but can be put in perspective by the parent in saying, “Just think, Jesus gave up His life,” and so on! Sacrifice goes hand in hand with giving and in this manner a parent can relate the giving of the Easter basket by the Bunny, with all its goodies, as a token of love and selflessness. The heart of the Easter message is hope. Explaining to your child, with great joy, that Jesus was resurrected and still lives can be quite an exciting realization. Your child will ap­preciate both the human and magical quality of a Christ who died but who came alive once again. And he or she may be happy to learn that we, Jesus people, truly never die but live on in heaven. Continued on page 9 column 5 7
