Bernado and Silvia play the following game. An integer between 0 and 999, inclusive, is selected and given to Bernado. Whenever Bernado receives a number, he doubles it and passes the result to Silvia. Whenever Silvia receives a number, she adds 50 to it and passes the result to Bernado. The winner is the last person who produces a number less than 1000. Let $N$ be the smallest initial number that results in a win for Bernado. What is the sum of the digits of $N$? $\textbf{(A)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 9 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 10 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 11$
