"It's just a slow process," he said. DPW officials agreed with an idea proposed by Bosley that the city build a sidewalk on the Mohawk Trail from the Cumberland Farms store to Mohawk Forest Apartments.

Sammet said that the sidewalk could be put in by the city before a proposed state rebuilding of that road in 1993, because Sammet said no widening of the road will occur. Sammet said that the city could build the sidewalk for $10,000 less than the state. The city's sidewalk would be asphalt with a moulded asphalt berm instead of concrete curb. Edwin S. Taginski, projects engineer for the DPW's District 1, said that the state could put in a concrete curb when it rebuilt the road in 1993.

Taginski also expressed skepticism about an Adams project: the reconstruction of Holland Ave. Robert Degen, Adams Road superintendent said that the rebuilding of Holland Avenue plans for a four-lane road from the North Adams line to just past Grampy's Store. Cheshire accident causes heavy damage, no injuries CHESHIRE A three- vehicle accident this afternoon at the intersection of Church Street and Route 8 resulted in heavy damage to two vehicles, no injuries, and charges against one operator. John Rathbun, 93, of Outlook Avenue, Cheshire, the operator of a 1977 Plymouth, apparently did not observe another vehicle headed northward on Route 8 and struck the side of the truck while attempting to cross over from West Mountain Road to Church Street, according to state police officer Sandra Morris. The accident occurred about 4 p.m., police said.

The truck, a 1978 Ford pickup, was operated by Steven L. Quimby, 35, of 77 Charlene Street, North Adams, and was damaged more than $1,000 to its left side and bumper, police said. A third car involved in the mishap was a 1977 Ford operated by Carol A. Carter, 27, of Windsor Road, Cheshire. The Carter car, heading south on Route 8, was struck by the truck which had been hit by the Lipton gets research stipend WILLIAMSTOWN Peter Lipton, assistant professor of philosophy at Williams College, has received a $3,500 stipend for summer research from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The grant will support Lipton's research for a book, "Inference to the Best Explanation," to be published by Routledge and Kegan Paul. Lipton's work involves developing and assessing a theory of inductive reasoning according to which we infer from the evidence available to us what would be the best explanation of that evidence. Lipton, who joined the Williams faculty in 1985, specializes in epistemology and philosophy of science. He received a B.A. degree from Wesleyan University in 1976, and earned a D.Phil.

at Oxford University in 1985. While at Oxford, he was a tutor in philosophy of science, and a lecturer in the Department of External Studies. From 1982-85 he was an assistant research professor at Clark University. Lipton has written several articles and book reviews for scholarly publications. Clark to present Rembrandt film WILLIAMSTOWN In conjunction with the exhibition "In the Manner of Rembrandt" now on view at the Clark Art Institute until April 17, a one hour film entitled "In Search of Rembrandt" will be shown on two successive Sundays, April 10 and 17, at 3 p.m.

The movie is an extensively researched documentary portrait of the master seen through his work using views of modern Holland to echo the settings in some of Rembrandt's art. The film is narrated by James Mason. Admission to both showings of "In Search of Rembrandt" will be free. "There will be some serious questions whether the job should be a four-lane road given the environmental impact," Taginski said Since the federal government is funding 75 percent of the cost of the Holland Avenue reconstruction, the road has to pass a federal environmental assessment or impact review, according to Degen. Leitch also discussed an Adams proposal to trade with the DPW a section of Route 8 for a section of Route 116.

Degen said that Adams wants to maintain Route 116, now a state road, from Orchard Street to the Cheshire town line in exchange for letting the over the maintenance of from the Routare North Adams line to McAndrewsKing auto dealership. Sammet told Degen to write a letter to the DP.W about the issue. The DPW officials also discussed the rebuilding of Route 8A in Savoy, which is ready to go except for obtaining rights-of-way for the road rights-of-way for the road which is being handled locally. DPW officials were not encouraging about visibility problems local motorists have with a bridge near the intersection of Cliff and Union streets. Sammet said the accident data at the bridge does not indicate a problem with the intersection.

Bosley said that the new railing on the bridge obstructs the vision of (Continued from page 1) the 10-day vacation at his beloved Rancho del Cielo in the Santa Ynez Mountains near Santa Barbara. Reagan's adopted son, Michael Reagan, accompanied the president aboard Air Force One, but remained in private quarters aboard the aircraft and did not speak with reporters. The younger Reagan's book detailing his early life, including being a victim of child molestation by a camp counselor, was published recently. The president was to be reunited in California with first lady Nancy Reagan, who flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday. She paid a visit to the $2.5 million, ranch-style1 mansion the couple plans to lease when Reagan's term ends next January.

That wasn't the only looking- ahead note to the couple's spring vacation. The president's only appearance in California will be at a fundraising event Monday in Newport Beach, south of Los Angeles, for the Ronald Reagan library. Construction on the library is expected to begin this summer at a site in Ventura County. Meese Rathbun car. The Rathbun car had almost no damage, but the other two vehicles had to be towed from the scene.

Rathbun was charged with failure to take care in starting, Trooper Morris said. There were no injuries in the mishap and all the persons involved in the collision were wearing their seatbelts, state police in Cheshire said. Reagan (Continued from page 1) a conviction, the source said. Several key figures in the criminal investigation of Meese, including his longtime friend, E. Robert Wallach and Meese's former financial manager, W.

Franklyn Chinn, have refused to cooperate with McKay's inquiry. Wallach and Chinn are under indictment in the Wedtech scandal. The aides who stepped down Tuesday were concerned that Meese's legal problems he has been under criminal investigation for nearly 11 months are hurting the Justice Department's operations and image. Among those who resigned was Assistant Attorney General William Weld, who oversaw all federal criminal investigations, and Deputy Attorney General Arnold Burns. Meese had planned to announce replacements for Burns, Weld and departing Associate Attorney General Stephen Trott, but the announcement was called off at the last minute without explanation.

The replacement for Burns was expected to be Arlin Adams, a former U.S. Circuit judge in Philadelphia, department sources said. The replacement for Wells is to be James Knapp, a deputy in the Justice Department's tax division who formerly worked in the criminal division. The replacement for Trott is to be Francis Keating, an assistant treasury secretary for enforcement. Meese would not discuss the reasons why the two top aides left, claiming his conversations with them were confidential.

But he said he was "convinced" that his management "is supportive and I'll leave it at that." Meese told reporters that for him to resign would be "incompatible with the actual state of affairs" and he cited "broad support" from law enforcement officials, from within motorists stopping at the end of Cliff Street, making it difficult to see traffic traveling into North Adams on Union Street. Sammet said he would see if somebody from the bridge department could look at the Cliff Street bridge to see if another style of railing could be installed. Time (Continued from page 1) the song "My Favorite Things." "Major league baseball and Easter surprises; clocks jump ahead and the daffodil rises. All of these rituals remind us of spring; these are the things Daylight Savings Time brings." Remarks of the Honorable Silvio O. Conte "Daylight Savings Time press conference" Washington, D.C., March 31, 1988.

"Two years ago, Congress finally 'saw the light' and passed my legislation to begin Daylight Savings Time on the first Sunday in April," Conte said. "It is time, once again, to set the clocks ahead for an extra hour of evening light. Starting this Sunday, there will be light. "This year, it is not just Daylight Savings Time that will usher in the spring. For the first time daylight savings occurs within 36 hours of Easter day, the opening game of the Major League baseball season, and the peak of the cherry blossom bloom here in Washington all hallmarks of spring's arrival.

In 'light' of this occasion, I have been inspired to verse. So, with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein, I give you: "The Things Daylight Savings Time Brings by Silvio O. Conte (to the tune of "My Favorite Major League baseball and Easter suprises, Clocks jump ahead and the daffodil rises. All of these rituals remind us of spring, These are the things Daylight Savings Time brings. Energy savings and decreasing crime rates, Time in the garden and walks past the front gate.

April's first Sunday now rings in the spring. These are things Daylight Savings Time brings. When the light dims, When the cold lags, When my garden is bare, I remember the things Daylight Savings Time brings, And then I don't feel so bad." the administration "at the highest level" and from members of Congress.

The White House declined comment on McKay and Meese's statements. Meese received other good news Friday when Solicitor General Charles Fried said he would remain at the Justice Department, even though Fried reportedly urged Meese to resign earlier in the week. "I have concluded that while I am able to lead" the solicitor general's office "I should continue to do so," Fried said. The New York Times reported that Fried had urged Meese to quit Wednesday but that Meese had rejected the suggestion. Fried's statement did not endorse Meese.
