hers and her Husband's own publishing house. The plot is set England and the Far East. Her current effort, tentatively titled "Notes From the Stone Crop Annals," is described by ler as "a sequence of prose and poetry with no real plot." Set in a New England village, the work consists of quotes and statements by some 40 residents of the fictional village. The wide variety of story settings in Miss Savory's works is understandable. She was born in Hong Kong and traveled all over the world as a child and as a young woman.

"My father wasn't a missionary," she quips. "He was an imperialist, a businessman." Miss Savory's involvement in writing apparently began during this period, though she is vague as to the particulars, such as when or how. She attended the Royal College of Music in London, where she majored in voice, and later sang professionally an experience that evolved into straight theatrical work. She produced several dramas for the American National Theatrefend Academy in New York. "I didn't have much time for writing until I came up here," she says, noting that her first novel was several years in the works before appearing in print in 1960.

Titled "The Landscape of Dreams," the manuscript was accepted by the first publisher she showed it to, George Braziller. Braziller also published her next work, "The Single Secret." A third effort was published by an English house as "A Penny for the Guy" and by Lippincott in the U.S. as "A Penny for his Pocket-." After publishing ihree collections of her own poetry, Miss Savory lately has turned to translating French and German poetry into English, a skill she acquired during her years of travel. She is even working on a translation of an anthology of Vietnamese poetry, though she ad-, mits 'to finding it difficult. 1 Hadassah plans theatreparty GREAT BARRINGTON -The Great Barrington chapter of Hadassah will sponsor a theatre party to New York Oct.

Having her own publishing house means Mis Savory sees fewer rejection slips from publishers than she might otherwise.

She and her husband founded Unicorn Press, a nonprofit educational operation, about six years ago, shortly after they migrated from New York to Southern California. Brilliant had been managing a bookstore on New York's Eighth Avenue when they met, and the westward migration took place a few years later. Since then, Unicorn has published interesting assortment of educational and "arty" materials about 150 titles in all. But Miss Savory dislikes the cross-country nature of writing here and publishing there. "California is just too far away," she declares.

"Normally, we spend June and September up here and the rest of the time in New York or California. Well, this year I made my mind up, and spent the whole summer here." "I came here for myself, selfishness, I guess," she reflects. "But don't you know, a place on a dirt road off a dirt road is the most precious thing you can have in this world." So, ivhile Brilliant tends to the publishing business, Miss Savory continues to turn out manuscripts. The herb garden? "Well, the woodchuck and the rabbit watch the garden, and Wendy watches them," she says. "Wendy" is a fluffy cat, called "Queen of the Stratosphere," she explains, because of her five transcontinental jetliner trips.

Patrolmen would be assigned to foot detail on Main Street during the week to enforce the parallel parking, Police Chief Emmett J. Shea assured, the Selectmen.

Route 7 bypass In regard to Route 7 in general, Selectmen Chairman Paul. Gibbons said he would "do all the legwork" necessary to organize businessmen and other civic groups to put pressure on the state to construct a bypass. Gibbons specifically referred to the Chamber of, Commerce and Rotary Club as possible sources of pressure. Great Barrington businessman Robert K. Wheeler, in a speech to Rotary members last Wednesday, said they should join the Selectmen in such a move.

Gibbons said letters would go to U.S. Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Edward W. Brooke, Gov.

Francis P. Sargent, U.S. Congressman Silvio O. Conte, State John D. Barrus and State Rep.

Sidney Q. Curtiss asking their support for the bypass proposal.

Mooney Monday night. Moeney, In his most recent Sunday Sampler umn on southern Berkshire County, composed mock essays that might have been written by local public figures about what they did this summer.

Barbieri would have written, "During my summer vacation, I drove a lot. On my boulevard," the columnist wrote. The selectman has often been accused of diverting Chapter 90 state road main- tenance funds for the im-provement of Division Street, which runs past his home and is sometimes referred to as "Barbieri Boulevard." Barbieri observed at the end of the Selectmen's meeting that Mooney should also have written about himself "This summer I minded everyone else's business and forgot about my own." to chod CKto2s District Court 185 East $15; Leslie Walhi-mer, 38, of Woodbridge, $15; Richard L.

er town regulations prohibit the construction of a right-of-way that would put an existing structure (Straleau's house) in violation of the zoning bylaws. According to Straleau, Wood Edge Lane would come within about 12 feet of his house. Sheffield's zoning bylaws specify that a dwelling be set back at least 40 feet from the nearest point of the right-of-way According to Shmulsky, the right-of-way would be 50 feet wide, but the paved road would only be 25 feet wide. This means that Straleau's property would abut the right-of-way and would be about 12'i feet from the edge of the paved way. Shmulsky said the lane would be a private 500-foot right-of-way to the pair of half-acre lots that he would create by subdividing a portion of his property.

THE JO! CHITVGQD in mm SHEFFIELD The Planning Board last night postponed making a decision on the request of Alexander Shmulsky of Berkshire School Road to subdivide an acre of his property until an engineer from the state Department of Public Works (DPW) can inspect the proposed right-of-way to the subdivision. The decision to ask the DPW for a recommendation concerning drainage of the right-of-way, which would be called Wood Edge Lane, followed a public hearing attended by Shmulsky and Rudolf P. Straleau, an abutter to the proposed subdivision. Decision Sept. 18 Straleau asked the board for assurance that water from 1 i TAKE UP TO $1 OFF THE PRICE AND YEARS OFF YOUR LEGS If you haven't worn Supp-hose yet, now's the time to try.

According to the Planning Board, a decision will be rendered at the next meeting, Sept. 18. Dwight Dellert, -who presided because Chairman Roger W. Drury was unable to attejid, advised Shmulsky that the state engineer would be asked to propose adequate, drainage facilities to insure that water would not run off onto Straleau's property or onto Berkshire 'School Road. Wood Edge Lane would run south from the road.

Shmulsky agreed to abide by the engineer's recommendation. Also, the board will ask Town Counsel Sidney Q. Curtiss wheth- line of any road or However, Shmulsky said he currently has a 16-foot-wide right-of-way abutting Straleau's property, so the house already does not conform to the zoning bylaws. The 16-foot right-of-way was created before the zoning bylaws were passed in 1966. Shmulsky would add 34 feet of his property to the existing right-of-way to create Wood Edge Lane.
