Instead of the charac- teristic green patina of copper when it has been exposed to the elements, the 82-year-old eagle may sport new gold feathers The village board Mon- day voted to retain the firm of Douglas D. Kwart, Conservator of Art Ob- jects, Yonkers, to repair the damaged eagle at a cost of $17,500. However, $3,500 of that is for the cost of gold leaf- ing a measure the villages Fix The Eagle Committee could not come to an unani- mous agreement whether or not to pursue Mr. Kwart, contacted by The Tribune-Press Tuesday morning said he does not have to know at this time whether or not the eagle will be gold- plated. \1 don't need to know that until about a month before its completed, 9 said Mr. Kwart from his Yonkers studio. He esti- mates that it will take about four or five months to complete the entire restoration project As a result; the Tribune- Press is starting a poll today to see whether resi- dents of Gouverneur would like to have their eagle landmark gold- plated or remain in a natu- ral copper condition. Although the village voted to pursue the gold leafing, Mr. Kwart said there will be plenty of time for the board to change its mind if the vB merit is with t copper aging \Thatfs an thought..runnii said Mr. Kws anxious to see turns out* Prior to taki Monday night, asked for the Pi Committee to n ommen dation course of actk Although the voted unanit entrust the Kw restore the bin Red Man Tobacco Taking The Humor Out of Being By Bill Pike I have told a few stretchers in my life but this one's the truth. It's a kind of rit de passage story- about my unholy initiation into a life of degradation and sin. Back in my younger days I was not a drinking man. except of course on holidays when the relatives distributed watered- down vino for a toast. Frankly, I could not see what everyone else saw in booze. For one thing, it gtunk. For another thing, it tasted about like the insides of a dog. And for still another thing. I observed squirrel-like behavior even in common- sense people, once they began to lap the sauce in earnest. Made me nervous. Earnestlv. Funny thing about ignorance. It's a source of jgreat enjoyment until you find out about it. Anyhow. I was pretty joyful that morning, working away on some big maps in the mining engineer's office. His name was Fred and I was his assistant, a job which entailed everything from sweeping the office floor to helping out surveying underground. It was mostly a fun job for a young fellow, and interesting. Fred would teach me things. He was a forebearing man. There was a sort of machine shop adjoining the office <which adjoined an open pit mine in the Town of Fowler) and in that shop worked a guy named John. He was old — or so it seemed to a\ 19- year old kid — and kind of crusty. Had a heck of a isense of humor though and most times, he chewed Red Man tobacco. I don't know why. bat it always appeared to me that those two thmg? just about always went together... Red Man aod 'a sense of humor. See a pouch of Red Man shoved into a guy's hip pocket and sure enough-, he was laughing his head off. Never saw a chaw ; funeral in my entire life. Two Man Three Man Job *'I need somebody to help me/' John tol< \Can Bill go?\ \Sure/* Fred said, then listened to a brie explanation about how John and I would to the mine in Talcville with the big truck car up there needed bringing back. John s man job. Three man job for lesser men. W back around noon. \Don't get into any trouble.\ laughed F laughed. John laughed. Funny. We hit th the big red Ford.

John speculated. u Bil you're probably a drinkin* man.\ This comment caught me so far off gua before considering any of the consequenc allowed as how sure enough I was.

John then a about how much I drank at a sitting \Quite a bit.\ I lied factually, then look window wistfully like a man who's seen \Yeah.
