Midland Welcomes HungariansRefugee FamilySettled4By JULIUS CASSELSThe East Liverpool area’s first Hungarian refugee family was settled in their new home at Midland Thursday after a long and restless journey to freedom which began the first day of the Hungarian revolution with the young couple wheeling their three small children to the Austrian border in a baby buggy.They took little else than the baby carriage and the clothes on their backs from their home in Sophron, Hungary. The father heard some of his fellow-workers had been sent to labor camps and decided to make the four-mile break to the Austrian border and freedom.After going through the seemingly endless red tape of refugee camps in Austria, the long flight to the United States from Munich, Germany, and to Pittsburgh from the emergency camp at Camp Kilmer, N. J,, the family settled at 439 Midland Ave.Today, the man of the house will go to the offices of Crucible Steel Co. and discuss the possibilities of a job in the Midland Works.The family shown here, Sylvester Pfeiffer, his wife, and Ilona, 3%; Emil, 2, and Livius, 1, came to Midland because the brother of the woman who sponsored them had an apartment that was empty.Gabriel Csiszar, 727 Midland Ave., himself a second generation American of Hungarian extraction, provided the new home. His sister, Mrs. Helen Wagnerof Glenshaw, near Pittsburgh, sponsored the refugees.They had lived with another sister, Mrs. John Dauer of Dutch Ridge Rd., until the apartment was ready.Since their arrival, Midland has been buzzing with activity in an effort to help them.Perhaps the hardest working, besides the Csiszars, has been the many Catholic organizations of Midland, under the direction of Mrs. Leo Palmer, grand re- | gent of Court Midland, 653, Catholic Daughters of America.
