He has a basic certificate from the American Institute of Banking and has taken other bank related courses. He and his wife, the former Susan Ar chambault reside at 273 Beaver St. here.

In announcing the double opening. Luke S. Hayden, president of City Savings Bank said "This is the first time in Berkshire County that any bank has opened two branches at once. With our two new offices we are again bringing full banking services out to customers where they live and shop. This makes five convenient banking locations now in Pittsfield." A North Adams resident is the branch manager of Plaza Office, one of the City Savings Bank of Pittsfield's two new offices for which a double opening will be held today in the Shire City.

He is Daniel G. Trombley, assigned to the bank's new office in Bradley Plaza on Merritl Road, where open house will be observed from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. The other branch office is at the Adams Super Market on William Street, Pittsfield, where the same open house hours will be in effect.

Mr. Trombley, who has just completed the bank's training program, is a Mayor seeks transfer for new pumper engine "-A 3 1 mmm- A J- Regional school vote set Sept. 29 NORTH ADAMS The towns, of Clarksburg, Florida and Monroe will vote on the regional school district question Sept. 29, it was announced last night by Nicholas Davis, chairman of the Regional School District Planning Board. The other two communities involved in the proposal for' a K-12 regional district are North Adams and Savoy.

North Adams will vote at its regular city election in November and Mr. Davis said he is still awaiting word from Savoy as to the date it will vote. Last week Mr. Davis asked the four towns involved to vote on the same date and suggested Sept. 30.

The request was made, he said, because the board believes that a same day vote would be fairer since the results in one town could not influence the thinking, in another town. The Sept. 29 date was more con-'venient for the three towns that have responded, Davis said.

Em ergency Trips lists Help Line training plan NORTH ADAMS A transfer of $6,700 to place a new conversion engine in the Fire Department's now unoperable 1953 Seagrave pumper tops the list of $15,100 in fund transfers Mayor Joseph R. Bianco has asked the City Council to approve at its Tuesday night meeting. Noting that the motor broke a cylinder block on a recent fire call to McCann School, Mayor Bianco points out that he has been assured that another six or seven years service will be provided from the pumper by installation of the conversion engine which will carry a full year guarantee from the CMC Truck and Coach Division of Boston. The transfer of the $6,700 from the Salaries Account to expenses of the department will be possible, he says, because a number of unfilled vacancies, replaced with temporary help, has created a surplus in the former account.

Other fund transfers Mayor Bianco $3,500 from the wall repair Gunite account for West Main Street to the health and sanitation account to prepare for the winter operation and Adams-Cheshire school menus ADAMS School lunch menus for the Adams-Cheshire Regional School District next week will be as follows: All schools regular menu: Monday, blended juice, char-broiled steaks on buns, buttered peas and carrots, apple crisp.

Trombley Congregational Church School begins Sunday WILLIAMSTOWN The church school of the First Congregational Church will resume Sunday morning classes this Sunday at 10.30 a.m. Mrs.

Richard Steege, director of education, announced that children planning to enroll should attend the church service in the sanctuary with parents or friends rather than going directly to classrooms. A brief service of introduction and commitment will be held, after which teachers will conduct children from their classes to the various classrooms. Maps of the church interior are being distributed to assist in the location of classrooms. At the conclusion of the church which runs concurrent with the church school 10.30-11.30 a.m. parents are requested to pick up their children directly at each classroom, and to make a point of meeting and introducing themselvestio the class teacher.

The regular coffee hour will be held after children have been picked up by parents. A number of educational innovations are being included in the year's schedule, including cluster-teaching and, with junior highs, a varied program including weekend camping, visits to churches of other denominations, and an experimental unit exploring the concept of justice in society and individual ethics. The confirmation class for 9th grade boys and girls is led by the pastor, the Rev. J. Thomas Leamon.

The class explores the meaning of membership in the Christian church. A meeting for parents of potential confirmation class members is called for Sept 22. Children may be registered for the church school by phoning the church office or the Director, Mrs. Steege. 1st Cong'l, Adams, plans Rally Day ADAMS Rally Day for the church school will be observed tomorrow by the First Congregational Church.

Tomorrow evening at 7.30 there will be a free viewing of the motion picture "His Land" in the church sanctuary.

Greylock Lodge of Odd Ladies will meet Monday night, Sept. 13 7.30 in the social room of St Andrew's Chapel, -Blackinton. A social hour will follow the business session, and refreshments will be new look sumer education and.

family budgeting are new subjects offered in the category of business. In the "gasoline engines" course, snowmobilers, lawn mowers, motor cyclists and those with snow blowers might save much brief and money. Under the "academic" category, new listings include one fascinating subject called, "History of Berkshire County" which could fill an obvious gap in that the town has no historical society, a serious dearth according to Adams Free Library director, Mrs. Joseph F. Toohey.

She believes, along with many "others, that valuable 20th century memorabilia lies in many attics gathering dust. A NEW COURSE which was not advertised, called, "Community Lecture Series," Mr. Hughes said, would provide, speakers and programs of current interest ranging from entertainment and politics to industry and "But it's not down pat in our minds yet," he added. It's evident that the adult education program has strayed far from its former "night school" label of years past, at least in the design stages. It's just as obvious that school district officials want to shed that strictly "learning" purpose formerly attached to the program and extend it throughout the entire gamut of cultural affairs in town.

With the advent of the "fun and enjoyment" portion also comes a less formal and rigid side, including the idea of attendance. Mr. Hughes Jokingly noted that the most rigid part of the whole program might be proof of age for the "Over, Forty course. Which leads to the reminder that senior citizens may take a course free. The remaining five training sessions will be conducted by local professionals who will discuss the various human problem areas they work with.

Role playing and small group discussions led by Emergency Trips staff will complete each session The following is the schedule for the remaining sessions: Wednesday, Sept. 15, Barbara Hazilla, North Adams Family Planning Center; Monday, Sept. 20, Dr. Eugene Talbot, clinical psychologist; Wednesday, Sept. 22, Dr.

Leo G. Belisle, Northern Berkshire Child Guidance Center; Monday, Sept. 27, Emergency Trips-staff on drug abuse and drug first aid; Wednesday, Sept. 29, Mrs. Charles Louison, director of Northern Berkshire Community Action.

In a final request Mayor Bianco asks the Council to adopt a resolution providing for the designation of Curran Highway, from its intersection with Route 8 to Route 2 as Route 8 and that the state be requested to assume responsibility for its maintenance and that Hodges Cross Road, South Church Street and Ashland Street be designated as Route 8 A with the City of North Adams to assume maintenance responsibility. Present at the Council meeting, Mayor Bianco said last night, will be Robert A.

Gurek and Albert Bogdan of the Urban Coalition Commission, to provide information regarding the Federal Emergency Employment Act of 1971.

Of course, such a philosophy requires, as it has in the past, a high goal but one which the program organizers believe is not unreachable. If the minimum of eight students registered for all 69 courses, there would be 552 enrolled. But, only 351 signed up last year, many of whom had to leave before the conclusion in March.

Aiming even higher with the addition of many new courses, the director hopes tostrikeat least a few more responsive chords. And, the potential is in abundance. OF THE 30 COURSES listed under "practical arts," 14, including macrame, are new and should attract many hobbyists. Antiques, gardening, photography, bridge, radio are included as well as community playhouse and community glee clubs, different types of local activity heard mentioned in many circles. 1 Under health and safety, Mr.

Hughes said he is hopeful of having an instructor personally knowledgeable in the area of youth -and drugs for the new course, "Drug Education through Community Action."

FOR US LESS erudite people, the word, "macrame" "(three-syllable with the French -ay ending), might suggest a seafood dish or parlor game. For us less erudite people who are used to working with dictionaries, we find it consists of knot tying resulting in decorative or artistic work, such as oocketbooks and furniture parts. For the more erudite who are organizing evening adult education in the Adams-Cheshire School District, it's only one of many new courses (about 30 to be exact) which may prove this year to be a giant step' in the philosophy that the program should expand to reach every adult interest possible. THOUGH MANY of the courses previously offered are structured toward a learning goal, particularly the business courses, more than ever before the program is shifting toward a new emphasis. "Many of the courses are designed for fun and enjoyment sort of along the "act of people just getting together," was the way program director, John A.

"Jack" Hughes describes it. While the actual registrations are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week from 7 to 9 p.m. at Adams Memorial Junior High School, Hoosac Valley High School and the Cheshire School, respectively, the program director notes he is looking for teachers as well as "students." If either prospective teacher or student; has a special interest overlooked, he should notify the director, Mr. Hughes said. "Our general philosphy," Mr, Hughes continued, "is to offer the communities something for everyone we hope to expand into an all-encompassing SPONSORED BY- Frank R.
