First went the paratroopers, stepping Into the night beyond the sore to help prepare the way. Then came a bare 600 men to a beach that would forever bear an American name - Omaha. During the balance of that one riar hundred and fifty thous and men, transported and guard ed by 4.000 ships and liiooo planes, crossed the English Channel. e e e Famous old ships of the Ameri can and British lines served a long-range artillery. Newfangled rocket boats laid down barrages on the beaches. Skilled demoli tion squads struggled with the underwater defenses. It was the spearhead of a force which was to wipe totali tarianism from the face of Eu rope. Four years of military his tory's most' intensive planning was brought to one great, blast ing climax. And always, through the concentrated fire of Hitler's beach defenses, the men boared in to finish that war they had not sought. That night Franklin D. Roose velt asked the people of America to loin him beside their radios tn a prayer which said: i "These are men lately drawn for the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let . justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all the peo ple. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home. Some will never' return." Many didn't. But millions of their fellows went 'on, determin ed to crush totalitarianism against the anvil provided by our Russian allies. i .

The present one here was built privately in 1908. The city bought it for $20,000 In 1940 and it has sence been self-supporting ' . ,1. With a seating capacity of 5.000. it occupies half of a downtown business block. It is an arena type building with ramps leading to the second and third balconies. The accoustics are considered quite poor. The seats are not up holstered. There are no free park ing facilities j except the streets. The building Is in need of reno vation. Despite these factors great numbers come 53 miles from Kan sas City for various events at the auditorium. In charge of operation is a mem ber of the board of management. who is paid 10 per cent of the gross. Rental Is $125 pernight. The - mayor of St Joseph has pointed out that adequate audi torium' facilities are one of the city's prime needs, but he and the city council hesitate to spend sev eral hundred thousand dollars im proving the old building. A previous administration sub mitted a referendum to the people for a new auditorium but it was defeated; purportedly because ad equate allowance was not made for veterans' groups. The issue wOl be submitted to voters again soon and its chances are considered favorable. The pro posed auditorium would cost about $2,500,000 and would seat 4.500 in the main auditorium and 6,500 in the arena. Club rooms also would be provided. ; Hobby Show Draws Wide Exhibit List Salem Klwanls club's fourth annual hobby show drew a wide variety of entries at the Marion hotel Tuesday noonv- Exhibitors included Dr. W.
