July 7 and 8, 1979 THE EIGHTH TRIBE A couple of months ago someone handed me a copy of The Eighth Tribe. I couldn’t help but think of the great service that you are doing for the Hungarian Community. Congratulations! On July 7 and 8, 1979 we are sponsoring a “Coal Crackers’ Festival“ in our area. Many Hungarians, Romanians and Slovaks who worked in the coal mines found the working conditions só miserable that they relocated in the Delaware Valley. We have many of these people in our own town. This festival, therefore, honors them for what they did not only in the coal mining area, but also the great amount of work done by them in heavy industry. Ethnic foods and dancing will also play prominent roles in our festival. Because your paper is Hungarian, we are wondering you might include a notice to your readers about it. Sincerely, Rev. Austin Mohrbacher Roebling, New Jersey As a historical place, Roebling has the drawing power. It needs to be dressed up, cleaned up and kicked into shape so that it will look beautiful again like in the old days. The Township has the ethnic talents to successfully turn into a creative arts center which would provide home work and additional dollars. This year as a trial project to open up the community to the possibilities available to the people of Roebling. We would like you to cook, hake and sell whatever you like. We would like lo see the Hungarian Reform Church offer a traditional Hungarian dinner and foods. Also ask the other churches to offer their ethnic foods. We would like to see every church, every business establishment involved. The organizers of the Roebling Summer Ethnic Festivals invites everybody from near and far to come to Roebling and spend an enjoyable two days. The Champion of Liberty — Lajos Kossuth - 1848 On the cover of First Monday First Monday is published monthly by the Republican National Committee. We were gratified to see the familiar face of Lajos Kossuth on the cover of this national magazine. The basic values that prevail among Hungarian- Americans such as concern for family stability, hard work, dignity, faith, what helped to make the United States what it is today All American-Hungarians must realize the importance of participating in forming the governing body of this great country of ours, the Ballot Box is available to all. Let us and our children advance with the growth of this greatest country of all, without disowming our Hungarian ancestry. Let us not deny, but emphasize our national background, there are Hungarians excelling in all wralks of life, sports, education, arts, business. All \ou have to do is read the EIGHTH TRIBE to get to know them.
