Julius Hartman 1902-1986 The entire Cleveland Hungarian community was sad­dened at hearing the news of the death of Julius Hartman of Branch 14. He entered into rest on January 14, 1986 at the age of 83, following a heart attack at his home. Mr. Hartman was a retired grocer and enjoyed working for all causes which promoted our Hungarian heritage and culture. At the First Hungarian Reformed Church in Cleveland he was a very dedicated and loyal supporter where he belonged to the Hungarian Choir, Churchmen’s Brother­hood and other organizations. In 1972 he was honored as the “Fraternalist of the Year” in Branch 14 of the William Penn Association. The many kind deeds done by our dearly departed will be long remembered as he was always available to help those in need. Funeral services were held Julius Hartman on Friday, January 17th at the Church with Dr. Stephen Szabó, Pastor Emeritus, officiating and being assisted by the Rev. Frank Juhasz Shepherd. A eulogy in behalf of the family was given by the son­­in-law, Elmer E. Vargo, National Secretary of our Association. At the wake services on Thursday evening, words of comfort were offered by Rev. Stephen Szilagyi, newly elected pastor of the Church who came from Pittsburgh to pay his respects. The final resting place was in Highland Park cemetery next to his wife Jolán, who passed away in 1966. Also speaking words of praise and encouragement to the family at the Church service was Father Ladislaus Rosko, Pastor of St. Margaret of Hungary Roman Catholic Church. This tribute by Father Rosko showed the unselfish dedication and acts of human compassion displayed during his lifetime. He is survived by his children and their families, Violet Sarosi, Charles J. Hartman, Betty Vargo, Frank J. Hartman, ten grandchildren, five great-grand­children, sister Magda and brother Sándor. He will be saddly missed among his loved ones and many friends but his memories will be cherished forver. May God grant him Eternal rest and peace in his Heavenly Home. Miracles Can Happen! HARRISBURG (Feb. 11) — Gov. £)ick Thornburgh, who once carried messages from “refuseniks” in Moscow to their families and friends in Israel, today issued the follow­ing statement on the release to the West of Soviet dissident Anatoly Shcharansky: “When I met with Anatoly Shcharansky’s mother in Moscow more than six years ago, she told me that the out­cry of Americans and others against her son’s imprison­ment had literally saved his life. “His release now demon­strates not only that the cold walls of the Kremlin can be cracked by the voices of human dignity, but that those voices must be raised again and again—until every prison­er of conscience has been freed from twentieth-century bondage in the Soviet Union. “I commend those who were directly involved in negotiating the release of a powerful sym­bol of the continuing struggle for human rights, and those whose protests had so obvious a hand in forcing Jhe Soviets to negotiate.” On the last day of a ten-day National Governors’ Associa­tion trip to the Soviet Union in December of 1979, Thorn­burgh visited Shcharansky’s mother, Ida Milgrom, and his brother, Leonid, and several Jewish “refuseniks.” A year later, he personally carried messages to their relatives in Israel during a visit there. Pittsburgh Ethnics Making Folk Festival a Tradition For Thirty Years It is exhilarating to realize that Folk Festival, one of the bejewelled events of the city of Pittsburgh, is coming again and will date-mark its thirtieth anniversary. As a tradition, the last week­end of May the 23, 24, and 25, 1986 — for thirty years — has been designated as Pittsburgh Folk Festival. The Folk Festival Started at the Syria Mosque in 1956. I remember attending the festival the year after, 1957, when a high school friend of mine, Peter Gergely, sneaked me into the building — since we could not pay being poor Hungarian students who had just come to America in 1956. The concept of the whole malay of exciting aromas of food, colorful and lively civil and costumed people were just overwhelmingly fascinating and breath taking; people were will­ing to reinact the appreciation of their Heritage. No one seemed ashamed. The dingy feeling inferiority had disappeared. All ethnics felt equal, fairly treated, and proud to be American Ethnics. They worked, laughed, and stood proud and tall in their beautiful­ly hand made garbs which upheld the traditions and pride of their culture. Thousands of years of care and life planning are now part of America. Those were precious impres­­sional years, highlighted by Ethno Americana, that has not taken the wind out mine or other ethnics’ sails. In fact we have gotten old enough to share in the responsibility of maintaining and amplifying this regional tradition of Pittsburgh. It has been the prototype example to other cities in the U.S.A. The two main activists, Chuck Cubelic of Croatian Her­itage — Director of the Folk Festival and Nick Jordanoff of Bulgarian Heritage, Program Director of Folk Festival must be congratulated for volunteer­ing their personal time and talent for thirty years. Through the Pittsburgh Folk Festival, they have made Pittsburgh the number one most liveable eth­nic city in the U.S.A. This point is proven by the twenty-five different ethnic par ticipant groups that sometimei Continued on page 9 column 8
