Show Guatemalan Visitor To Provo Wins New Laurels As Writer f. The warm personality of Mrs. Argentina Diaz Lozano -has Invaded In-vaded Provo thli week like a breath of summer, transient In mid-December. - This lady from Gautemala has achieved fame In her own right as an author. Her book, "En-riqueta "En-riqueta and I," was the winning autobiography in the second Latin American literary prize contest. The book succeeded above the works of well known literary artists, purely on the basis of its simplicity. "Enriqucta and I," is the story of Mrs. Lozano and her mother, "the pretty school teacher." It is the story of Mrs. Lozano as a child and young woman, growing up in Honduras. Loving the natural beauty of her country and the little villages where she and her mother lived, the author has the rare gift of being able to take the reader "by the hand into the, many places which she chooses to describe." Mrs. Lozano writes with a deep understanding of her people and their many problems. She writes: with equal fluency ox events m the simple school noom, the, locust plague, the revoluf oh, the poverty pover-ty of the city and the .-"not unhappy un-happy poorness of the villagers." The book accomplishes a double goal in painting its characters in the true light of their foreign background and at the same time giving them the warm human element which is common to all mankind. The characters would have been as real and as natural In a background of our own land. Mrs. Lozano's mother, the pret-' pret-' ty school teacher, had as her life's goal the education and welfare of her daughter. Now Mrs. Lozano has a daughter and Is following wisely in her mother's footsteps.
