Inc. this past Week. A lease embodying the terms on which these‘ two entities may cooperafe for the restoration of the Customs‘ ‘House was found. to be acceptable to both parties. Action taken by the O. S. H. C. was unanimous. ' Many people are confused by the relation between Argonaut and Governor Edison. In effect. Argo- n:=u’c is Governor Edison in cor- porate form: he is the sole stock- holder. Avrgonaut is the embodii merit of Governor\ Edison’s idea that an industry coming into a town should have some responsibility and interest in helping to make that town a good place in which to live. The activities of Argonaut Enterprises, so far, consist in the following: 1) The purchase -and restoration of the Hannibal- French House. 2) The letting of two concessions within the Hannibal French House: a) The Captain’: Coffee Room, to Miss Lulu Horn, Mgr, b) Hannibal Antiques, to Mr. Walker Heimburg, Mgr. 3) The operation of. the Assembly Room, Mr. Heimbuirz, Mgr. 4) The Sag Harbor ‘Forum, which has had. to date, four meetings: the lectures of A57 ‘Byrd. and Roz-man Vincent Peale-.; and that Hm type 0,! denotes held\ on 3'91: 15-cowl 11%. -l _ The Guam mung «iii are unzlcttzkinz or Aftmauir my Gld ,;“'_-_temi.«ss:g;1;‘ . an incorpo:-aha!‘ \ tars: , %md‘e1‘r,the. l.; - pefshig?’ tfoafpom flaw -of they’ . ’:St‘ate of New York Because of the “historical and educational character ofjts jg cl1art,er_i_nust be approved by The State 'E_ducati_on Departmen’f..’_ Its charter_ reads: “To promote fhe interests and _welfare‘ of the Village of Sag 'Harbor,. and its citizens, by fostering the preser- vation of local historical informa- tion. objects, buildings and places, and to engage in activities gener- ally related to said purposes!” The organization will hold its. annual , meeting August 26, elect new o cers, and draw up by-laws.
