December, 1979 THE EIGHTH TRIBE Page 7 and of the Hungarian Folk Art Museum in Lorain where the title page of the first paper is preserved and on display. (And if you have not seen the Stations of the Iron Curtain Cross at the Friary, you should, no matter your nationality or religion — they are most impressive). The paper is not self-sustaining, but the Franciscan Fathers Catholic Publishing Co., as the business is listed, operates 12-hour shifts six days a week and has five full-time employees and two part-time in addition to the three Franciscans —• Father Dengl, Brother Dunai Ákos, the 23-year-old editor who left Hungary just four years ago and Brother Reginald Antal. A vehement man about the insidious inroads of communism, (not just in Europe but worldwide) Father Dengl has a witty side which he shared by recalling an incident at the time when Pope John Paul II was in America and television coverage of his visit was extensive. Father Dengl and Dunai Ákos were on official business at Grand Rapids, Mich., and stopped at a self-service gas station enroute to the gathering they were to attend. They were, of course, wearing their cassocks. As Fr. Dengl pumped gasoline into his car, another pulled up to a nearby pump and he heard a youngster in the other car eiiclaim, “Mama, look! It’s the pope!” As we conclude our visit we admire the workmanship of the religious statues and one in particular. “But that one is not for sale,” Father Dengl comments with a twinkle. “It is St. Anthony of Padua — and he was a Franciscan!” THE CHRISTMAS STREET Red of holly, swirl of snow Scurry of passing feet, Jumble of people high and low — This is the Christmas street. White man, black man, bishop, Jew Christ was born for all of you. Cherished children, a hungry tot, Sad little face and eye; Chinaman, Negro, polyglot, Tramp and tramping by.
