Congratulations to all the winners and many thanks to all who were part of this hugh success. 1 miniature scale architectural triumph.

The project took them about four months to complete and was built during Hard's spare hours away from his duties as a deckhand and musician (pianist) on the "Commander," the picturesque excursion boat that plies the Hudson from its home base at Haverstraw. The winning entry was one of 100 culled from a field of 4,000 in the amateur art contest, spon THE WINNER: 'VICTORIAN MANSION' sored by the American Paper Institute and National Alliance of Supermarket Shoppers. In the competition, Beller and Hard's "mansion" was competing against such entries as paper bag versions of the Statue of Liberty, a five-feet tall tree replete with birds, and a "bag lady" dressed in a brown paper ballgown. The "why" of such a competition would seem simple enough, though the stated reason is that it was "conceived in recognition of the versatility and reusability of the paper bag, and to mark the 102nd anniversary of this supermarket and household staple." More likely, the contest was spurred by the inroads HOT STUFF Continued from Fl Mine. Why? Because it would have been impossible to continue under the circumstances.

I wanted to find a graceful way for her to no longer be involved. show. And I was thinking of bringing back the song. Apparently, he didn't want to do that. Vanessa Williams is a local girl.

Whose idea was it for her to resign her Miss America crown? ON THE SCENE being made by plastic bags at checkout counters everywhere. And the paper bag people are simply fighting back with some imaginative public relations, this being one of them. But, no matter. It's a pleasant thought to think of DaDer bags being used for Al. After as many years as I've been in this, you do get kind of defensive.

I seem to attract trouble. You or your position? My position. No, I have a hide 4 inches thick. Look at the sequence of events. Bert Parks-this, the song-that, Vanessa Williams-the other thing.

This year, who is Miss New Jersey? What else can happen? Atlantic City could sink into the sea. And me along with it. While we're on the subject, I talked to Bert Parks a few months ago, and he said you asked him to come back to the show. I didn't; an intermediary did ask him to consider being a part of the assistance in a showcase for themselves. Today's young women know who they are, what they are, where they want to go and how to get there.

It's a personal showcase, a door-opener. And nobody twists their arm. We're accused of all sorts of things. Being a factory-this, body measurement-that. It's a hangover from the old days of the women's liberation movement who saw us as a gorgeous opportunity for publicity and they got it, bless their hearts.

You sound a little defensive, more than a means of packaging ones garbage. The recycling of the paper bags sort of goes full circle, with its use as a medium for creative expression. We are even told that Picasso painted on paper bags! The exhibition is still under way and can be seen through Friday-the final day at the International Paper Plaza, 77 West 45 New York City.

(All Year Round) I Tk II X. IT 0 1 week ago of the $450 million, 50-story Marriott Marquis near Times Square incidentally, on a site once occupied by the stately Helen Hayes Theater was stained glass artist Robert Pinart of Nyack. It was he who had been asked to design a series of large panels of an unusual architectual glass which were to be major components of the new hotel's poshest restaurant, known simply as JW's (so named for the first two initials of the hotel chain's recently deceased founder, J. Willard Marriott). Pinart, a French-born artist who has garnered a nation-wide reputation for his stained glass creations at such varied edifices as the Episcopal Cathedral in Washington, D.C., The Cloisters in Upper Manhattan, and Bronx Zoo, accepted the assignment because it was unlike anything else he had been asked to do before.

The five 7-foot by 8-foot parterres three panels in the restaurant area and two in the cocktail lounge were to be so constructed as to conjure up in the minds of patrons "bright flowers in June." Imagine! Relishing the challenge, Pinart set about at both his Nyack studio and Berkshire (North Adams, Mass.) workshop to bring the concept to fruition. By sandblasting on tempered glass, he was able to create or, at least suggest fields of shimmering summer light, dewdrops, and flowers, as well as rivulets of water, on the frosted panes. Voila! JW's, by the way, is not to be confused with the new hotel's widely publicized three-story revolving rooftop lounge and restaurant. While both are star attractions under the Marriott Marquis roof, the former is strictly tres chic gourmet, while the latter is designed to be a touristy talking point, with good food to match. As for Robert Pinart, he can't wait to share with other JW patrons, one night soon, that ineffable feeling of contentment when all shall look up from their food to gaze upon his creations in glass, with, inspired thought: "Ah, bright flowers in June." cloU mm i SESSIONS I I I "Rockland's Only Indoor U.V.A.
