W.

Farley of the state safety committee. He was inclined to look the use of air raid warning 1 signals in Boston to announce tho victory of the allied forces over the Japanese" invasion fleet 61 New Guinea. "We ought to celebrate the un- I conditional surrender of our enemies," Farley explained, "and anything less than that Is not conclu- However, ringing of air raid I alarm signals is not likely to occur 1 again. These signals were intended I for one purpose only--to warn people of an air raid. In fact, the army has intimated strongly that it does not believe that audible signals 1 should be Used for anything except the 1 planned purposes." I TO IDENTIFY ALL DEFENSE WORKERS C.

W. Isbell Heads Task Involving 3,000 The appointment of Charles W. Isbell of 200 East Main street as Identification officer for the local civilian defense organization was announced today as plans were also made known for photographing and issuing Identification cards to every one of the 3,000 or more men and women enrolled here as air raid "wardens, auxiliary police or firemen, medical unit members, motor corps and canteen corps members or in other capacities. Mr. Isbell and Allan I.

Davis, public safety committee chairman here, attended a meeting in Pittsfield last evening at which plans for the preparation of Identification cards were outlined, Each of the ARP workers fill out I a form which requires detailed information as to his name, address, description, occupation, ancestry, 1 education, affiliations and civilian defense capacity. The pertinent in- i formation will then be copied onto card which the volunteer will I sign and the card and the individual will be photographed together so that the details on the card and the picture will appear oh a small I sized card which the worker must carry at all times while on ARP i state civilian defense php- Itographers with special equipment 1 will come here to take the pictures 1 when the preliminary work is plcted. The ARP volunteers will pay 25 cents each for the finished- I Aii Ingeniously arranged architectural, exhibition is on view at the Lawrence Art museum at Williams college titled "The Wooden House In America," the country which builds more wooden houses than any other country in the world. America's tradition hf wood is shown in small-scale models, plans, photographs, architects' sketches and samples of different woods and wood products used, which show concretely the planning and construction of a wqoden house. Photographs and designs of nine important modern houses, costing between $5,000 and $15,000, by the leading architects of tho United' States are exhibited.

Homes Grbpius and Breuer. George Howe, i Prank Lloyd Wright, Yeon and Carl! Koch, famous names In architectural circles, show new uses of wood and prefabricated materials, original methods of construction, and clever utilization of natural surroundings. Changes in style as well as the developments in methods of construction are illustrated by pictures and small-scale models of the massive construction of early hand- hewn log cabins, the heavy frame construction of colonial homes, refinements of the 18th century, and the first use of the light stud frame, one of America's great architectural achievements. New ideas for architects and for those who are considering designing or building their own homes are in-1 eluded. The exhibition is timely for i it comes at a moment when there' is great interest in federal aod mu- nicipal housing programs, as well as a growing demand for low-cost homes.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has lent the exhibition, which will be shown at the Lawrence museum through March 30.

"More Important than any cash that may be realized from the sale of salvageable material is the contribution you will be making to the war effort," Mr. Barrett said In his letter. He also advised "In your enthusiasm" to guard against disposing of any serviceable articles or materials which you will later have to replace. He wrote: "We must conserve not only materials we no longer can Use, but we must conserve usable articles as well." Asistance was asked of readers of the Transcript in preserving material of antiquarian Interest and value, by the Society for the preservation ot New England Antiquities through William Sumner Appleton of Boston, corresponding secretary of the society.

Ho suggested that such articles be sent to the society rather than destroyed or placed in unsympathetic hands. some 150 to 200 men and boys will start an Intensive house-to-house canvass In North Adams for the purpose of collecting salvage to be used in the government's victory program. The men and boys will remain at their task until every street in the city has been visited, it was announced today by Edwin A. French, regional director for the collection of salvage.

The salvage thus collected will be taken to the front curb. When a street has been completely canvassed, trucks will be dispatched to that street to collect the salvage and will take it direct to junk dealers where ifc will be sold and in the near future it will find lus way into use as guns, tanks, planes and other articles of war.
