Bartlett liendricks, chairman of study committee that as appointed to look into ways and means of better promoting the Berkshires, also thinks the Conference's executive committee should have more women and more active members. "It would be pleasant," he said in his report, if a few women, at least, were elected to the executive committees. And committees should not be formed merely to add names to the letterhead. Active. enthusiastic people should be put on committees and they should be given something to do." "We agree," Mr.

Hendricks told the Conference officials last night, 'that our network of country roads are one of the great assets of Berkshire County, but only a few of some 1500 miles of these roads are marked. and none are identified In such a way to be of much value. to a stranger. By working with the County Commissioners we believe that a standard Berkshire sign could be obtained." Sister Mary Reparatrice Succeeds Sister Mary Louise Sister Mary Reparatrice of the Mercy Hospital, Springfield, was today named sister superior of St. Luke's Hospital in this city to succeed Sister Mary Louise, who has been administrative head of St.

Luke's for nine years. Mary' Reparatrice, a native of Worcester, comes to Pittsfield from the business office of the Springfield'hospitat Prior to being in Springfield the new sister superior had been assigned to the Worcester hospital, operated by the Sisters of Providence. Sister Mary Louise was at the Farren Hospital in Montague be, fore being assigned to St. Lukel nine years ago. She left last night to go to the Mother House of the Sisters of Providence in 'Holyoke where she will remain for the present.

Sister Mary Reparatrice arrived this morning to.assume her new duties. town, the name of the road and fur destination. He thinks the state highway department would number country roads and a county map. based on the new U.S. geological survey maps, could be prepared and sold at near cost An Sports Veek" c-ould be held in either June or September, just before the heavy resort sesason, the committee suggests.

This could include a match play golf tournament between two top name golfers, who could play each day at a different Berkshire course. There could be polo, tennis. swimming and perhaps a eharnpionship archery tournament A special game attraction might be a Williams-Amherst nail game to commemorate the fart the first game of collegiate ball was played in Pittsfield ,91 years ago. Also suggested were annual pho. tographic contests and color slide exhibit.

Two years ago the Conference such an exhibit and the best of SOO slides were projected In Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge, South Egremont The exhibit Itself doesn't attract it lot of outsiders, Mr. Hendricks says, but through it there are notices in magazines thal are circulated all over the World. The committee thinks that only the annual rneeting of the Conference should be held In Pittsfield. All others should be in Other towns of the county. It also thinks that the annual meeting should be hell, in October instead of January so ai to attract a maximum attendance; This recommendation, incidentally, was adopted by the officialsi last night.

The next meeting of the Conference will be in Dalton next Even though two four-year-olds busted open their penny banks to Today's Givers send Santa 'II the Toy Fund slipped frorn its high of yesterday.
