The Foundation gave out the awards Dec. 3 at the 26th annual George Washington Awards Din­ner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

The AHF presents the award annually in recognition of contri­butions made by Americans of Hungarian descent to research, human knowledge, the arts and understanding among men and nations. Mr. Green, a son of Hungarian parents, has received five Tony Awards, three Screen Writers Guild Awards and two Academy Award nominations. With Betty Comden he co­­authored the book and lyrics for such Broadway and movie succes­ses as Singing in the Rain, Bells Are Ringing, On the Twentieth Century and On the Town.

Hungarians help county celebrate 200th birthday PITTSBURGH — The Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Penn­sylvania recently represented the Hungarian community at a cele­bration marking the 200th anni­versary of Allegheny County. The celebration was held Nov. 21 and 22 at the Hazelwood and Squirrel Hill branches of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. "Since the formation of these older districts of Hazelwood and Squirrel Hill, there has been a strong showing of Hungarians at many community functions for many generations,” said Alexan­der}. Bodnar, publicity chairman for the Hungarian Ethnic Group. For this reason, organizers of the library’s "Neighborhood Traditions” project invited the group to perform a variety of Hungarian ethnic dances and dis­play Hungarin folk art. The performances were the last of the 1987 season for the Ethnic Group. On both days, they were greeted with enthusiasm and curiosity. The group performed a series of traditional dances and an im­provised szatmári. A display of Hungarian folk art was arranged by Mr. Bodnar. Since 1968, the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Penn­sylvania has kept the traditions of Hungary alive by presenting programs of folk dancing at a number of community events throughout the tri-state area. The Hungarian Ethnic Group is now planning its schedule of activities for 1988. It recently elected its officers for the coming year. The new officers are: Eugene Gerzsenyi, president; Lester Phil­lips, vice president; Patricia Ko­­vacsics, secretary; Kelly McDon­ough, treasurer; and Dick Brehm, program director. Anyone interested in joining the group can call Mr. Bodnar at (412) 422-1886. published books for such authors as Tennessee Williams, Graham Green, Harold Robbins, Joan Collins and Edward Koch. Founded in 1954, the Ameri­can Hungarian Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to furthering the understanding and appreciation of the Hungarian cultural and historical heritage in America. It supports student and scholar exchange programs, fel­lowships and research at Ameri­can universities. It currently is building a Hunga­rian Heritage Center in New Brunswick, which will house a museum, archives, library, visi­tors’ center, conference rooms and research facilities. Golfers compete in Hungary tournament From the Hungarian Heritage Review BUDAPEST, HUNGARY — Forty Hungarian golfers, includ­ing 16 women and a golfer from England working in Hungary, burned up the 9-hole course of the Kék Duna Golf Club last October in a special competition. Up for grabs were two trophies: the "Hungarian Heritage Cup” donated by the Hungarian Heri­tage Review; and the "Goodwill Cup 1987” donated by Patrick Andrews, senior editor of Golf Digest, and Patrick O’Bryan, pres­ident of Golf Adventures, Ltd. of Chicago. The winners of this Hungarian Heritage-Goodwill Open Golf Championship Tournament were Tim Gummer of England and Mrs. Agnes Henter-Tringer of Hungary. The tournament was a great success, according to Dr. Ferenc Gati, president of the Kék Duna Golf Club. The Club recently became qualified for membership in the European Golf Association. The lone regret of the tourna­ment organizers was that a team of Hungarian-American golfers could not be present to partici­pate last year. However, plans are well under­way to formulate and enter a Hungarian-American team in the 1988 tournament. Any Hungarian-American golf­er interested in joining the Ameri­can team should write to the Hungarian Heritage Review, P.O. Box 2203, Union, N.J. 07083, or call the Review at (201) 964-8464.

The President takes an oath to defend something even more important than a majestic symbol of our country. The President takes an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. A document that has been described as the greatest leap forward for freedom in human history. A document that is the foundation of our country. And the means by which we achieve the rule of law and protect our freedom. As we commemorate the Bicentennial of the Constitution, there is no better way for you as an American to reaffirm the principles for which our country stands than to learn more about the Constitution.
