It is entitled "Wendel Wilkie One of the Great Ones." "To give poetic eloquence to his tribute to a man he considered one of the outstanding leaders of the Republican party, Morse chose his title from the poem, "T h e Great Ones," by Frances Holstrom of Coquille, and concluded his address by quoting it. Noted Writer Addresses Roseburg Writers' Club By MRS. GEORGE BACHER Members of the Roseburg Writers' club were privileged Tuesday evening to meet Mrs. Frances Holstrom, a noted Oregon poet, and to hear her read selections from her lat est hook of poems, "Oregon Mist" Mrs. Holstrom, who makes her home in Coquille, has for the past week been ft guest of Mrs. T. VV. Dunwoodie of Roseburg. By special invitation, she appeared as guest speaker before the Writers' club. The meeting was held at the residence of Dr. and Mrs, Hour.;. "Oregon Mist," a publication of Binfords .and Mort in Portland, is the gray-haired, gray-eyed little grandmother'i third book of poems. Preceding this volume were "Western Windows" .and "Rich Lady," both of which proved to be favorites to poetry lovers. And what do critics think of her work? Here is one comment: "No other poet ever has recaptured so vividly the quiet grandeur and gentle charm of the Oregon coun try. . ." But lest some aspiring lyric maker thinks the road to success is an easy one, Mrs. Holstrom has a story to olfer. For years she wrote for the love of writing not knowing whether her poems were of any literary value. "It just bubbled up in my soul and had to find expression," she said. Her first encouragement came when she wrote a poem ded icated to successful author. It was so generously received that she took heart and set to work in earnest. Her first major tri umph came when one of her poems was accepted and published by the Ladies' Home Journal. A stepping-stone, to be sure, but this in no way paved the road to suc cess. "The struggle was long and hard," Mra. Holstrom recalled. "I used to mail the poems out in batches, and have them returned in batches with an acception only now and then." In those days life in general wasn't easy either. A former school teacher (at one time she tutored in Douglas county on Schofield creek) Mrs. Holstrom had aban doned her career for marriage. Her husband, the late Charles Holstrom, was a locomotive and donkey engineer in a logging camp. Many problems evolved as they moved from camp to camp, and the know ledge gathered from life in the woods is reflected in many of her works. Life became more "joyfully complicated" with the arrival of four little Holstroms. The family had purchased a dairy and berry farm in Coquille, and here in what might have been a lonely, dreary outpost for some, Mrs. Holstrom found beauty. Who but a genius could have found inspiration over an old-fashioned rub-board? And yet, Mrs. Holstrom wrote about the "beauty of the rainbow bubbles in the tubs of dirty clothes." A lengthy feature story con cerning the now famous author ap peared in the magazine section of the Oct. 7 issue of the Portland Journal. An excerpt follows: "In 1947 came an honor unusual In the annals of Oregon literature.
