Page 2 THE EIGHTH TRIBE February, 1978 DEDICATION This magazine is dedicated to the Eighth Tribe in America which is made up from descendants of the original Seven Magyar Tribes. Whatever their faith, their familiarity with their ancestral language, or their degree of Hungarian ancestry, we address ourselves to each of them. THE EDITOR’S CORNER:— The Eighth Tribe’s first issue was published in April, 1974. With the coming of 1978 we entered into the fifth year of publication. We at the Eighth Tribe are proud of our accomplishment. The past issues of the magazine (some of which are still attainable) contain innumerable information about Hungary, and Hungarian-Americans. Articles appearing in the Eighth Tribe greatly broaden the horizon of our young people pertaining to their Magyar heritage. The contributing writers, in the spirit of free press, have no restrictions of any kind. The opinions they express are their own and not necessarily those of the Editor. Our pages provide an open forum to exchange ideas and information. Our readers are of varied social and political background, the common denaminator is our ancestry, the base the Eighth Tribe is built on. Through this Publication our readers get to know “Magyar-America” better or as our name implies, feel they are part of the Eighth Tribe. We are not politically motivated, but simply informative, with our Magyar people’s general information our main concern. Therefore we feel, we can reasonably solicit future members for our family of readers from all of our Hungarian-American civic or religious organizations. THE EIGHTH TRIBE Editor ........................................................... Sándor E. Chomos Contributing Editors: .......... Albert Wass, Joseph Széplaki, István S. Tuba, Elizabeth Tuba, Steven B. Várdy, M. Takács Barboe, Endre Nánay, László Könnyű Published and printed monthly by the Bethlen Press, Inc. P. O. Box 637, Ligonier, Pa. 15658, U.S.A. Second Class Postage paid at Ligonier, Pa. 15658, U.SA. Subscription: $8.00 yearly. Therefore, we extend to all of you a cordial welcome to the club or in our case to the family of the Eighth Tribe. Together we can build up this magazine to serve in an educational and informative manner, to be a single \oicc for the American Hungarian Community. According to official information there are 1,43-0,000 voting age citizens of the U.S. who are of Hungarian ancestry. In addition to this figure are those who did not take out their citizenship papers and all the children of the above two segments, this number will easily reach the two million mark if not more. Taking these figures into consideration The Eighth Tribe should have a reasonably larger circulation than what it has at present. * * * A disturbing piece of news reached us from Cleveland, Ohio where the Athletic Association wanted to sponsor one youth to be sent to Hungary for educational purposes. Some voices were raised against it, instead of commending the effort. Many of us would like to have our children see the country of their ancestors, from where their parents and grandparents came. To have someone object to this is unbelievable. The recent event that just passed us — The return of the Holy Crown to Hungary — showed us how deeply we are divided. Let us put the past behind and start with a new aim and togetherness. » * * Neiv Hungarian Social Club In Tucson, Arizona Hungarian American Club, Inc. of Southern Arizona was organized by a nucleus of 26 Hungarian Americans and are meeting temporarily at the Westside Deli, 1802 West Grant Rd., Tucson, Arizona 85705, owned by Melinda and Bill Bobjak. Melinda is Vice-President. Their first attempt to organize with 250 other Hungarian Americans in Tucson will he March 11, 1978, when they will sponsor a Liberty Day Dinner Dance at Healv Hall, St. Joseph Church, 255 South Craycroft Rd., Tucson, Arizona 85710. The Eighth Tribe congratulates the members of this newly formed Club in their effort and wish them a great success. It is our hope that everv member of the Club will join the family of The Eighth Tribe and will use this magazine to inform people in other [»arts of the country of their achievement.
