New Hungarian Stamps The Hungarian Post Office issued a new series displaying health and recreation resorts. The stamps were produced on the basis of designs by Pál Varga. The set is made up of 1, 2, and 5 forint denominations showing views of Zánka, Hajdúszo­boszló and Hévíz respectively. A set of stamps and a block were issued to commemorate the Sarajevo Winter Olympic Games. The seven stamps and a block of 20 forint nominal value were designed by László Dudás. A series of films for young people about the Red Cross For almost a decade Hungarians have been commissioned by the In­ternational Red Cross short to make films about the most diverse. The aim of these films is to make these activities and understandable and attractive to young people. More than 200 million have so far seen these films. At the moment the latest of the series is under production, commissioned by WHO, the World Health Organization. Scenes have already been shot in Senegal, Tuni­sia and Geneva, further scenes will be filmed in India and Indo-China. Pinocchio in the Children’s Theatre, Sleeping Beauty in the Puppet Theatre Two plays were presented in new adaptations in Budapest theatres for children: “Pinocchio,” the film version of which is highly popular, in the Children's Theatre, and a pup­pet show based on “Sleeping Beau­ty”, a Grimm fairy tale, in the Pup­pet Theatre. Aliz Mosonyi placed Carlo Col­­lodi’s popular Pinocchio, whose nose grew long thanks to of his curiosity, in the setting of an interesting story. I 1 MISCELLANEOUS Nothing is lost of the wealth of Col­­lodi’s ideas, his warm humour is well preserved. Only some scenes were omitted which might have frightened some of the tiny tots. Pinocchio was received with great pleasure by Budapest children. Ro­zsa Ignác adapted Sleeping Beauty for the puppet stage. The puppet and set designers created a colour­ful magic world: visions of swaying trees in a live forest, a colourful Father Time, Will-o-the-whisp, a castle covered through and through with thorny rose bushes will live in the children's memory for long, as their first experience at the theatre. Streetcanter in Budapest How appetizing it is to have deli­cious doughnuts squirted full of jam and a good-size tart as a prize of a competition. They are doubly wel­come, when they are awarded to winning runners. The lucky people were those who gots their noses first past the winning post in Fri­day night's fun run organized by the "Futapest Club.” The club’s name might be translated as "All Buda­pest is a-running.” The streets of down town Buda­pest teemed with those out for a bit of sport. Only a few were scared of by the rain and wet tracks. Many felt a breath of spring breeze com­ing from the Buda hills. Jogging on roads otherwise ruled by engined wheeled traffic was another thrill. Indeed, the organizers expected the joggers to use the full width of the carriage-way and the police were there to lend weight to this demand. Four hundred joggers completed the five kilometers (over three miles!) on the roads of Budapest. A genuine fun run mood prevailed. As usual there was a bit of jostling at the start, later the field spread out. András Szendrei and Ágnes Komjáti came first. Pen pals are wanted by two Budapest high-school students We are two Hungarian boys living in Budapest. We are both 18 and we will sit for the school-leaving­examination (érettségi) this year. We are interested in learning lan­guages and we'd like to write in English to boys and girls of our age. We love sports of all sorts, both as participants and spectators. One of us has been playing tennis for 9 years, and the other one has been sailing for some years. Is there any­body who shares the same interests? If you want to be our pen pals, write to us at these addresses: GÁBOR GERLITS BUDAPEST GERLÖCZY UTCA 11. 1052 HUNGARY ZSOLT FEKETE BUDAPEST AKÁCFA U. 6. 1072 HUNGARY Visa-free entry Citizens of non socialist countries on 43-liour trips run by Austrian or Hungarian travel agents will no longer need visas to enter Hungary from later this year.
