Hungary, A Nation Of Heroic Struggles And Accomplishments By Frederick C. Nagy (Reprinted from THE NEW WORLD, March 2], 1958) Think of Hungary and try not to remember the heroic struggle for freedom by a heroic people! To us, too, it seems impossible to talk about Hungary without being overcome by the memories of what we read in the newspapers and magazines, week by week, month by month, in that fate­ful fall of 1956 — memories of a bloody revolution waged by the gal­lant Hungarian people, including students, workers, and even women and children. They rose as one man and fought in a desperate attempt to throw off the yoke of communist tyranny. We also remember that this astounding struggle after its initial success, was doomed. nowned the world over for her beauty and gay life. It was here that you could get the famous, fiery Tokay, “the wine of the kings and the king of the wines,” and dance, or see others dance the equally famous and equally fiery csárdás. AN EMINENTLY sports-loving na­tion, the Hungarians have won a number of first prizes at the Olym­pic games. Traditionally they are the best fencers and water polo players of the world, and they also excel in swimming, soccer, pistol target shoot­ing, rowing, etc. In the field of technical sciences, let us mention that the phone-cast, that is, the forerunner of the radio, WED 50 YEARS Very happy were Mr. and Mrs. George Orosz as they recently cele­brated their golden wedding anni­versary. The parishioners of the Holy Trinity Hungarian Greek Rite Catholic Church, Bridgeport, Connecticut, gave the party and arranged for the couple’s 10 children and their fami­lies to be present. The Oroszes formerly lived in Trenton, New Jersey. Mr. Orosz, a member of Branch 13-V in the same city, was in the television business before his retirement. The couple has since lived with a priest son in Bridgeport. Both Mr. and Mrs. Orosz were born in Hungary and were married there. They have been naturalized citizens of The United States for 49 years. The couple’s children are Michael, Trenton, N. J.; George, Levittown, pa.; John, Dunellen, N. J.; Father Ladislaus Orosz, Bridgeport, Conn.; Mrs. John Tindiik!, Jr., Trenton; An­thony, Hamilton Township, N. J.; Francis, Mercerville, N. J.; Joseph, Hyattsville, Md.; Mrs. Joseph Dargo, Jr., Hamilton Township; William, Trenton. There are 22 grandchildren. All eight sons and the two sons-in­­law served in World War II. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Orosz. is a Hungarian invention, and Buda­pest was the only city in the world where, as early as 1912, a broadcast­ing system was established, by means of which music from the Opera, for instance, or other items of interest could be transmitted to you in your lodgings. It may also be of interest to know that the Budapest subway, introduced in 1896, was the first of its kind in the world, and it was this subway system that later served as a model for other cities. And, to come back to the present times, do we know that Prof. John Newman, considered the greatest mathematician of his time, who died last year in the United States was a native of Hungary? Do we know that Dr. Theodore Karman, America’s top authority on aeronautics, and Dr. Edward . Teller, one of the world’s foremost physicists, surnamed the“Father of the H-bomb,” both of whom are now playing so outstanding a part in developing our present defense system and artifi­cial satellite projects, are also Hun­garian-born scientists ? (Continued on next page.) THE FREEDOM fighters, for all their bravery, could not prevail against the tremendous odds, and they finally succumbed to the overwhelm­ing military forces of the Soviets that had been rushed to Hungary and hurled against them. In this way, the Hungarian cause, left all alone, was lost, the short-lived freedom for which the patriots had laid down their lives, was gone, and the reign of terror began anew. The evil forces of darkness have again descended upon the unfortunate people of Hungary, who are now, more than ever, in the grip of their merciless tyrants, suffering the silent pains of prison, deportation, and death. Yes, all these tragic happenings are still fresh in the minds of all of us. But is this all we can tell about Hungary? Decidedly not! To be sure this country has a 1000-year old glo­rious past studded with bitter fights fought, similarly to those mentioned before, to ward off the barbaric in­vasions from the East. However, the “Shield of Christiani­ty,” as Hungary came to be named by history, has a fine peace-time re­cord, too. Its people like good life and pomp, and are known for their hospi­tality, their love of art, music and dance. Its capital, Budapest, surnam­ed the “Pearl of the Danube,” is re-STATEMENT FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH - 1958 Life Benefit Disability Pension Combined I.
