December, 1982

THE EDITOR’S CORNER . . .

The Editorial Staff of this magazine, the Officers of the Eigth Tribe Foundation and the Bethlen Press udsh all of you a Joyous Christmas and a Prosperous New Year with God’s Blessings.

The August Conference decided to use the local papers to inform all those of Hungarian ancestry, who do not have the opportunity otherwise to learn about this magazine and the Foundation. That time we did not know how large territory we have to cover to reach the 1.6 million people of Hungarian ancestry in the United States. From experiences learned through the past years showed us that this is the only way left for us to go. For this reason w<e have prepared a small informative ad — see bellow — and we ask our readers to help us in placing them in their local papers and if possible shire the expenses with us. We’ll send you “Reproproofs” to cut down on cost. Also, you can get in touch witjh other subscribers in yoUr area and raise the funds to pay for these ads.
