They are readers of this magazine since 1974, one of the first ones who supported this magazine. ***** TUCSON, ARIZONA At St. Cyrill’s Parish Hall, Tucson, Arizona, about 300 hungry folks turned out for the Hungarian American Club’s Annual Dinner-Dance, a taste of Julie Kazy’s famous Hungarian Kolbász and Stuffed Cabbage, and also the delicious Hungarian cakes and pastries. Julia Kazy was president of the Club for three years. Along with her husband, Charles Kazy, she salvaged a floundering Hungarian Club three years ago and was determined to keep the group alive. Their dedication and devotion has paid off, and the Club is off and running. Julia was born in the U.S., but speaks Hungarian and touches all with her charm and sweet spirit. Present officers of the Club are: Joseph Bakonyi, president; Irene Kondor, vice president; Julie Kazy, treasurer; Marie Peto, recording secretary; and Julie Tarczali, corresponding secretary. Presidential Acknowledgement President Reagan expressed his appreciation in a letter to Dr. Janos Nadas. Dr. Nadas is the president of the American Hungarian Federation (Amerikai Magyar Szövetség). The Federation issued a declaration supporting the policy ol the President and the U.S. intervention in Granada. (Független Magyar Hirszolgalat) Endowment to the Georgetown University Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., the oldest Catholic university in the U.S.A., has a new department: “Anton and Maigaret Fuisz Chair of Medicine.” The Fuisz brothers donated funds to establish the chair in memory of their parents. Antal Fuisz was born in Hungary and emigrated to America in 1920. In 1930, he married Margit Matt :, a daughter of a Hungarian emigrant in Bethlehem, Pa. From this marriage they have two sons, Robert and Richard. Both Robert and Richard graduated from Georgetown University. They moved to New York and founded MEDCOM, Inc., in 1965. The enterprise was a very successful one. Among their other achievements are two productions, “Life-Line” and “The Body Human.” Both won Emmy Awards. (Washingtoni Krónika) Amerikai Magyar Értesítő (Hungarian Monthly) In the article “Two Weeks in Mariacell” István Philippi describes the visit of Pope John Paul II in Mariacell. Although Mariacell is in Austria, the shrine has been a sacred place of pilgrimage to Hungarians for centuries. The sentiment deepened, when Cardinal Mindszenty was buried in one of the chapels of the cathedral. In the article, not only the solemn visit of the Holy Father is described, but also the unpleasant events were reported. The visit of the Pope called the attention of the Hungarians. Emigrants as well as dignitaries and visitors from Hungary congregated in Mariacell for the visit. The emigrants soon learned about a decree tssueu by the conference of the Bishops in Vienna, which banned the access of the Hungarian emigrants to the shrine during the visit of the Pope. There was another surprise, and this was borderline to the desecration. The Hungarian visitors adorned the tomb of Cardinal Mindszenty with fresh flowers and national flags. Before the visit of the Pope, the Austrian TV crew took away everything leaving the tomb without any ornament. The visitors appealed to the priest of the shrine and only by their intervention could the ornaments be replaced. The visit of the Holy Father at the tomb was a solemn, touching event, he kneeled down, prayed long, then opened his arms, then bent over and kissed the marble sepulchral slab. * * * * * “MEMORIES” You can NOT buy Happiness, Money can’t change feeling; In our Life — the Sentiment for ever have bearing.
