First Lady Meets Past v
In Williamsburg Trip
By MARGl'EMTS W. WRIGHT
To anyone with a sense of America's historical heritage and a
appreciation not only of tradition but of the practical usefulness ol
antiques and the old ideals o( gracious living, a trip to Williamsburg.
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. Vir
ginia.'! firs! ladv. al a luncheon at the executive mansion in Richmond,
a stately residence furnished with antique Hepplewhite and Duncan
Thyie pieces agains! a background of crimson damask Mrs Holmes,
a cjlector of antiques and an enthusiastic gardener was delighted not
only with the furnishings and formal gardens, but also Ihe unique tlth
reniiiry dried flower arrangements and cherishes hp Wedgewood dve
lingered posy holder presented to her by Virginia
Anolhr souvenir given each guest is ihe c -"me morative plate
each used al Ihe dinner given at the Williamhurj Taace by Mr and
Mrs Wmthrop Rockefeller

'"This as without a doubl the moi beaut.'.; p.irn we have ever
attepded " recalls Marie Holmes Servan's were n colonial costume
and entertainment recreated that of the early perod There was an
ltthlcentury chamber music orchestra singers of Kngnsh ballads, jug
glerg, tumblers and minuets white pique evening dress was Mrs.
Holmes' choice for this gala affair
Such social occasions, however, were not the main interest of the
governors and their wives. 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
