Va ii an inspiration That is hat Oregon first lady. Mn. Robert D. Holmes, found wheal ihe accompanied the governor to the annual Governor j confer ence there recently With the Holmeses wert Administrative Assistant Harry Swanson and Mrs Swanson, who will be mo-ing to Salem from Astoria this summer During their stay at the Williamsburg Inn and at social affairs in Ihe authentic lUth century palaces and colonial plantation houses, the Houses felt, not like strangers from the Western frontier, but more likerelatives visiting an old homestead The main purpose of Ihe W illiamsburg n-Mur j' ion. Iinanced by the Rockefeller family, is. of course, to help n-akf Americans aware ot their birthright in this cradle of our form of government Ancestor Patrick Henry This perception of identity with the past a particularly moving. Marie Holmea recalled, in Ihe hushed and rev erf ni atmosphere of the trfinia House of Rurgeses during Ihe conference opening ceremony. Here is where Patrick Henry first cdonial governor of Virginia, made his permanent place in history, and Governor Holmes is a direct lineal descendant of Pa'rick Henry The governor s wives were guests of Mrs omas Stanley.

Mrs Hoimes said When they were not at tending, conierence business sessions the ladies talked over their own duties learning that most of them had problems in common even though many live in state-owned mansions and sorre Ue Marie Hol mes, do not. As a result of such informal exchanges of ideas M-s Holmes is writing to Gov William Stratton of Illinois, nevt .ears conference chairman, to suggest an organued round-table discussion for the first ladies at the next conference Offic'ul Responsibilities At this meeting she suggests, questions per'a.ning not only to the sneiai side of a first lad s responsibilities but a so the public service aspects can be considered She was muoh impressed she says by the keen feeling of obliga tion! that transcend the purely social which is shared b most of the governors' wives By activities in behalf of worthy causes, especially in the fields of philanthropy education youth and so on a governor s wife can draw attention to things that need doing Mrs Holmes said, and expressed the hope mat the next conference will bring out sue possibilities And both Governor and Mrs Holmes returned from Virginia with the nope 'ha' Oregon can some riav he the hosl for a Governor's Con lerenxe as productive ol ideas and memorable as the one Just con eluded Meanwhile Oregon s first ladv can hardlv wait to try out more of ik. nn. n ih nld W lliamshuri cookoook she brought back.
