 ton Saturday

 Skeleton buildings are now under construction at the park, and seat ing facilities for the accommoda- ton of about 5000 people will be erected later in the week. Mir, Cur tin said, however, that many more than this number are expected from the l2 cities and towns Of the dis trict participating In the exhibition,
 Mr, Curtin told civilian defense heads about n similar exhibition staged by the Army which he witt messed at the Polo Grounds in New York city where more than 35,0o0 spectators attended. He said that 1t was his ambition and hope that the local air raid display be modelled as closely as possible on the New York performance.
 Auxiliary fremen and policemen, first aid crews. wardens, demolition corps, and all the other groups of the civilian defense will take part In the display,
 Floodlights will be used to H. lumine the ground area, and the Army will provide a narrator to describe the action as 1t takes place, All preparations by the defense council must be completed by 2 D, m, Saturday, at which time the Army will take charge and prepare the field for maneuvers,
 The suggestion was made that q parade be held in connection with the affair, but members of the de- fense council decided that because of the confusion which 1t would cause and because of the uncer- tainty of the weather, 1t would be better for the various groups to as- semble in or near the park,
 The exhibition has been staged in several New England cities and has been highly successful, Its purpose is to demonstrate what civilian de- fense is.
