Number planning to attend: Names in the News:— ESTEBAN TAKÁCS When the conflict started between Argentine and England the Argentine Ambassador to Washington appeared many times on the U. S. TV Nework-News. The reporters addressed him Ambassador Takács with the accent on the second “á"\ Anyone with a name ‘Takács’ cannot deny his Hungarian ancestry. Esteban is ‘István’ in Hungarian. His parents emigrated to Argentine after World War II. The Senior Takács, alsó named István, first worked as a farmhand, then went into Textile, later on started a steel manufacturing firm. He established the first Hungarian School in Argentine and for 3 decades he was the president of the Hungarian Catholic Church Association in Argentine. He died recently at tHe age of 86. The young István—Esteban was born in 1928. He graduated from the University with a Degree in Agriculture, later on with a Degree from Political Science. He held a position as Secretary of Agriculture In 1976 he was named Ambassador to Canada in 1981 to Washington, as Argentine Ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Takács besides the Spanish language speaks the Hungarian language fluently. There are many persons of Hungarian Ancestry on the American Continent, from Alaska on the North to Argentine in the South achieving great heights in many fields. Individually they serve their country faithfully and with honors. But at the same time they also bring honors to the Magyars, to a small nation who gave many sons and daughters to this world to serve their fellowmen. The Hungarian Eighth Tribe proudly claims István—Esteban Takács as one of its own. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR : Dear Mr. Chomos: It is with great regret and shame, I’m writing to ask forgiveness for my negligence to let you know sooner, that I do want to subscribe to the publication, “The Eighth Tribe.” I was extremely overjoyed to get it, when a friend sent my first subscription! I’ve read each edition with great interest and fervor and I’m very proud of the fact, that at last the Magyars of the first, second and third generations are being mobilized to preserve their National Identity. I congratulate and commend you for this worthy project. Thank you for your Patience with me and enclosed is a check for $10.00 for my subscription. Sincerely, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Tóth California P.S. I was born in 1899 and read, write and speak Magyar, quite fluently.
