The former Governor was a member of the commission which drafted the document. Sprague said Oregon's present century-old constitution is like a century-old house, it is better t) build a new one than remodel a room or construct an addition on the old one. Frost: His Tools Were Words From AP and UP1 Reports BOSTON—He was a Poet, an architect of beautiful, enduring things. His tools were words, simple words, a kind that men under stand. His name was Robert Frost. He was 88 years old. And he died Tuesday. FROKT WAS pronounced dead at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital at 1:50 a.m. after two operations, a heart attack and three separate blood clots in his lungs since Dec. 3. The four-time Pulitzer Prize winner had been making what doctors called a remarkable re covery until his general condition began deteriorating in the past 48 hours. His attending physician, Dr Roger B. Hickler, said Frost died shortly after complaining of se vere chest pains and a shortness of breath. Cause of death was listed as "probably a pulmonary embo lism”—a blood clot in the lungs. DR. IIICKl.FR said that a few hours before the fatal attack Frost was “talkative and com fortable.” Fame came late to the one-time mill worker, New Hampshire farmer and teacher H*- lived in comparative obscurity until he was nearly 40 Two years ago—at thfc age of 86— he was invited by President Kennedy to read a poem at his inauguration. With a January wind tousling his thatch of white hair, and a strong sun blinding him. Frost discarded the script he could not read and recited from memory a poem he had written 20 years earlier, “The Gift Outright.” Earlier, President Dwight D. Eisenhower had appointed Frost consultant in poetry to the Libra ry of Congress. On his 88lh birthday last March 26 President Kennedy presented Frost a medal voted by Congress. FELLOW POET Carl Sandburg praised Frost as “not merely a great poet, but also a beloved per WORLD FOCUS UPI -AP REPORTS son," and said his work will be "around for a long time.” Others had similar high praise for Frost and his works. Not since the era of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had an American poet won such univer sal acclaim. The man who had been left fatherless at 11. worked at odd jobs, and studied a few months at Dartmouth College, found him self in later life an idol of literati, a favorite on college campuses across the nation. More than a score of colleges and universities gave him honorary degrees. IF FROST conformed to any thing, it was to the admonition of a Hritish Poet. Rudyard Kipling: to “. . talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings.
