Joe B. Frantz, who was just a short time ago Assistant Di-
rector of the San Jacinto Museum of History, writes a most
interesting letter from "Ha'va'd" where he is now Ensign
Frantz, USNR, Mass A-33, NTS, Harvard University, Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts, and engaged in naval communications
work. He thinks that in December he will be leaving "the land
of ivy, ancestors, and muggy coolness." He writes of Texas
with a nostalgic stroke.
Frank Goodwyn, who became known to many members of
the Association through his services as auctioneer at last year's
book auction, is soon to become a full-fledged author. Goodwyn
hails from Kenedy County down in the South Texas brush coun-

superstitions of his associates to become a brujo or wizard. The
book will be published by Farrar and Rinehardt in April or
May, 1944.
The Texas Institute of Letters selected as the best Texas
book for 1942-43 Kendall of the Picayune by Fayette Copeland.

out that in many ways it would be advisable for the Southwest
to hold together rather than tear itself apart internally. In a
good-natured coming to grips with Texas-Oklahoma differences,
he pointed out that, although some existed, they did not appear
to be insurmountable. Lottinville's solution regarding Red
River questions which might separate Texans and Oklahomans,
as the river does in a physical sense, brought forth hearty
Texan laughter from his audience.
There are differences of opinion about ... whether the Red River should
flow through Texas instead of Oklahoma, and if not through Texas, then
why can't it be dammed up so it will flow over Oklahoma?
Judge Hobart Huson of Refugio was a visitor in Austin
during the early days of November, doing a little check-up316
