high In 1915.
Several years ago, the late
Asa Wallace, editor of the Her
aid, made the prediction that
'the time will come when the
people of this city will more
fully appreciate the real worth
Of John McGibbon." That day
came when he was forced to
leave Sank Centre owing to ILL
ness.
John McGibbon was a man Of
real worth, and the service he gave
to Sank Centre cannot be measur-
ed in dollars and cents. To know
John McGibbon was a privilege, to
be numbered among his friends
was an honor-yet he had hosts of
friends who will honor his men,
ory and the humorous and happy
incidents which surrounded his rich
and full life of four score years.
John McGibbon was member of
Star In the West Lodge, A. F. &
A. NJ, Sank Centre Chapter, r. A.
M. No. 40; and, Pilgrim Command
cry, knights Templar.
One of his long time interests
was the Sank Centre Fire Depart
ment, which he joined in the first
year of it's organization, became
charter member. President of the
Firemen's Relief Association for a
number Of years, Mr.. McGibbon was
on the retired list when he died
Even retirement didn't blot out his
interest in the group and last year
he sent greetings to the firemen
on the event of their annual party
Serving as president of the
Stearns County Agricultural Socie-
ty, he worked with that group for
many years. He was a member
of the Church of the Good Samari-
tan. Episcopal, of this city.

peculiar style he adopted in
many Of his works. But the
friends and instances in Sank
Centre by far prompted the
greater number.
His one long narrative poem
"Gay-Bash-a-Win," written when
land was broken for the Home
School here, was prompted by stor.
les of Indians Byron Carr had told
him. Hundreds of other short ones
spoke Of life here.
John was interested in his work
and in the light plant. Justifying
the fact that his position there
might be insignificant, he wrote a
poem that pointed out through the
job he had an important interest
the interest of seeing light con-
tinued in each Sank Centre home
There are poems to his home
that stands yet In the grove Of
oaks, where squirrels scamper-
ed about and Jimmy and his
mother dwell" To his wife,
Louisa, now passed away, John
told Of his love for this "lassie
o mine" He found expression
In his writing for his happiness
In friends, In dogs, comfort
along Sank Lake, trout brook,
the birds, q coon hunt, the duck
blinds-an most aptly q cross
section Of his life here In his
poem, ITO Harry"
He was a common mans poet
not renowned, but popular as q
reader here. Scarcely a meeting
passed that he attended that the
clamor for his reading didn't bring
him to his feet, smiling. His writ
ing companion, the late DR.. j. A
Dubois, was a life long friend
and the courses Of the two here
were a strange parallel. Both
came here in 1881. Both wrote
poetry; both stressed the "othei
side of Main Street.-The human
side. In 1887 John wrote a poem
honoring his life long friend, the
Doctor.
Strangely, one Of his latest
poems begun In 1895 remained
unfinished. It's scant two verses
tell Of q presence that presag-
ed his death. It's opening lines

Some leaders Of the neutrality
bloc" realize that the outbreak Of
war would, in any event, mean a
violent disturbance of American
trade, and advocate advance plan
ming to meet this condition. Paul
Harris, jr., one of Mr.. Libby's lieu
tenants, said:
Under a strong and mandatory
neutrality law, the outbreak of q
major foreign war would deprive
our citizens of a considerable part
of their foreign markets. A glut Of
goods would result, producing un-
employment. lower prices and lower
wages.

The position of the neutrality

of the arms embargo section of the
Neutrality Act-was outlined in q
recent statement of policy:
America is weighing two possible
lines of action" the statement said
both OF them offered as methods
of keeping us out of war. One policy
would align us against Germany

British and French empires and
possibly Russia, to endeavor by

Frederick j. Libby. chairman of
the so-called general staff" of the
neutrality bloc" in statement at
the recent Atlantic City conference
of the 10 religious and pacifistic
groups represented there, took the
position that the United States
must not participate in foreign
wars" under any conditions.
Mr.. Libby vigorously criticized the
President as sincere believer in
the policy of force"
Without waiting to consult the
American people" he said, "he (Mr.

ture into power politics may bring
the whole structure of our civiliza-
ton down in ruins"
Outline Of Program.
The program which the neutral
lty bloc" believes that America
should follow in world affairs was
outlined as follows:
l. The calling of a world peace
conference.
2. The maintenance and strength
ening OF our neutrality legislation to
prevent our being drawn into war
through trade in arms and war
materials.
3. A vote by the people before the
United States engages in any foreign
war and a veto by the people on
whether or not they want conscrip-
ton for service in the armed forces
on foreign soil.
4. A drastic war profits tax pro-
gram to discourage our participation
In war for the sake of profits. Op-
position to the enactment of war
dictatorship legislation in peacetime.
5. Development of a constructive
democratic program of inter-Ameri-
can cooperation to improve the cul-
tural and economic relations between
the United States and the other
American republics.
6. A return to our traditional
American policy of offering asylum
to political and religious refugees.
7. I'VE believe that our best con-
trlbution to the democratic process
Is provision for economic and social
security for the American people,
which we believe is of fundamental
Importance in any effort to keep the
United States out of foreign wars.
We oppose totalitarian programs for
the United States. We believe that
civil liberties guaranteed by the Con-
stitution in the Bill of Rights should
be rigidly guarded against infringe
ment."
Liquidation Of Colonies.
8. Liquidation Of imperialism and
of the whole colonial system, starting
with the earliest possible liberation
OF the Philippines on a basis OF
sound economic justice.
9. Extension of American aid in
the form of food and medical sup
plies to all victims of war in Asia
and Spain and to the victims of op-
preston in Europe, on a good neigh
Dor, non-partisan basis.
To forward these aims and, espe-
cially, to fight repeal of the arms
embargo section of the Neutrality
Act, the general staff" of the or
ganizations in the bloc" acting
through their approximately $4,000
members, has set up highly geared
Nationwide machine to bring pres
sure, when needed. upon Congress.
The general staff has recon-
mended a total budget of $500 900
for the groups interested in this
work.
