The Selectmen's approval of a used-car license for Sinopoli marked the end of a freeze on these licenses, which, they said, were being used in some cases for the convenience of an individual rather than an actual business. The Selectmen told Sinopoli Monday that the -repair garage he plans to have on Bridge Street is allowable under the town's zoning bylaws only if it is incidental to his used-car business.

"If the used cars are a facade, then the garage will be forfeit," Chairman Bertram B. Robinson Jr. said. "We're insisting that used cars be the principal business, or we'll consider revoking the license," he said. Robinson told Sinopoli that a person without a used-car license may sell five or six cars per year, so to qualify as a business he will have to sell more than that.

Also, Sinopoli's construction plans must satisfy Health Inspector Walter S. Dojka and Building Inspector Robert G. Sampson, Robinson said. Sinopoli agreed with Robinson's request to fence any storage area, particularly on the side toward the Town Brook. Although the area between Route 7 and the brook is zoned for business, Robinson said, it School board meets in two closed sessions DALTON Two executive sessions, lasting a total of just over 11 hours, were held during last night's meeting of the Central Berkshire Regional School Committee.

Kendall and approved unanimously by the 12 members of the committee who were present. No details of the hearing were disclosed. The boy was accompanied at the hearing by Principal John L.

Jangro, Vice Principal Richard P. Farley, Assistant Principal B. Jay Decker, guidance director James L. Rivers and special education specialist Peter R. Cimini.

The second closed session was called at the end of the meeting by Lawrence R. Pierce, chairman of the collective bargaining subcommittee, to discuss progress in teacher contract talks.

It's a good project, one that will be done with great love," he said. The made-for-television Christmas story will be based on the characters in many of Norman Rockwell's paintings. The story will revolve around seven fictional Stockbridge families in 1948, Barclay said.

The children from these families will leave home for adventures in Los Angeles and other large cities, and will return home to discover that Stock-bridge is where they are loved, he said. Barclay and co-producer Robert Deu-bel want to shoot the script here in March, and then offer the film to the three major networks for bid. It would be released next Christmas. Beaccb said Monday he will look into legal ways in which the Selectmen can stop the film from being produced in the town. tourists who already visit Stockbridge each summer.

His comments, in addition to appearing in The Eagle, were widely reported by the Associated Press and United Press International wire services. The criticism could create an uncomfortable environment for the film makers here, Barclay said, in which case he "wouldn't want to complete the project in Stockbridge." He said he will make alternative plans to film the interior scenes and the bulk of the script elsewhere in March if problems arise because of Beacco's comments. In the meantime, Barclay said the company will "keep an open mind and a low profile." He said he has received a lot of supportive calls from Stockbridge residents since Beacco's comments were reported.

Barclay-was reacting to comments made by Beacco at the Selectmen's meeting Monday night. Beacco, said that Concepts Unlimited had failed to give the board adequate notice that it was coming to town last weekend to film exterior shots of Main Street and other locations.
