NEWCOMERS COLUMN
EditorV Nofe: This new feature is to welcome newcomers to the local Jewish communtiyi The stories of one or two new families will be told each Vr'sek. Readers who know of Jewish newcomers whp ore settling down in Vancouver should call the Bulletin office so that we con welcome them in this column.
The Gyarmati family came to Canada from, Hungary along with many thousands of their countrymen last year, ^d are now emerging from a period of dif^-culty to become self-sustaining members of the Vancouver Jewish community.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Gyarmati with their daughter Livia, 13, arrived in Vancouver from Calgary on July 2 last year. They had left that city because the high altitude was affecting Mrs, Gyarmati's health although they had no authority from the Department of Immigration to do SO; For this reason they were not eligible for emergency assistance from the Department once they reached Vancouver.
Canadian Jewish Congress assumed responsibility for their basic *main-Jenanire unt^^^ In the
meantime they'were asked by the Immigration Department to return to Calgary for an official medical examination so that their move to Vancouver could be authorized. This they refused to do, fearing that they might be forced to remain in the Alberta city.
Clearly, a concerted effort had to be made by this family to support themselves without any outside aid, especially in view of the fact that Congress could no longer assist them financially. In spite of poor health both Mr. and Mrs: Gyarmati used every resource available.
Mrs. Gyarmati, as a graduate from a Hungarian school of designing and dressmaking put her talents to work and is now conducting a business at home. Mr. Gyarmati sells various commodities from door to door and is now promoting some beautiful and unusual aluminized pictures. He has also started a Hungarian lending library, .which is proving very popular among Hungarian Immigrants.
To this date, the Gyarmati family has Qiade considerable progress but Mrs. Jean Rose, coordinator of Hungarian refugees at the Community Centre (BA., 0611) would appreciate hearing from anybody who is interested in Mr. Gyamaati's pictures or who desires the services of a first-class dfessmaker.
