John Gribbon, 81, lost his

tim and his brother Arthur.
He died of suffocation in,

who barely escaped from the
smoke-filled cottage on North
East street. Later he was
burned beyond recognition.
Arthur was awakened, prob
ably choking from the smoke. He
customarily locks the door of the
two-room house and puts the key
into his overall pocket. He did
MT try the door, in his excitement,
he said, but rushed from the bed
room in the south section of the
residence to the north room and
dived through window.
Picking up something, he broke
the bay window of the bedroom
to give John air. Then he heard
him cry, Help" and saw him
drop.
Firemen who found flames
shooting from the place when
they arrived at l a. m. subdued
the fire before entering to find
the victim on the floor near the
door connecting the two rooms.
The iron bedstead was bent in
such a way as to make them be-
lieve Johns foot may have been
caught in it.
The origin of the fire is un-.
known, although a burning Gig
aret may have caused it. Com.
pleted about three months ago,
the house was not wired for cleo
tricity and there was no fire in
the stove.
Arthur says that there were no
flames apparent when he awoke
and was forced to flee in his un-
derwear. A passing motorist told
him he would turn in the alarm,
he said. He spent the remainder
of the night with his neighbor,
Gust Johnson.
The fire rekindIed at 4 a. m.
and william Schroeder, living a
block from the GribbOn house,
called firemer out again.
John Gribbon was born No.
vember 81, 1882 near Franklin in
Renville county. With his par
entS, Mr.. and Mrs. James Crib
bon, he came to Redwood Falls
about As years ago. His father
died IA years ago, his mother II
years ago and his twin brother
Dan, in 1882.
Besides Arthur he is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. William West
phal Of Franklin and Mrs. Jennie
Bledsoe of Kansas City, his nep-
news Clarence WeStphal of Nor
ton and Albert Westphal of
Franklin, a niece Agnes Westphal
of Franklin and another niece in
Kansas City.
He was unmarried.

tuition costing $500 annually
for the care of IL to 16 per-
sons. The present number, 16,
are cared for there at cost
OF SAP a month each. Gener-
ally, she said there are about
IL persons there at cost of
SIS month.
Several persons have applied at

for persons on old age assistance.
There would be many homes
open to cases of this type at a
worthwhile saving to the county,
she said.
Leon H. Brown who was a
spectator at the meeting told
commissioners that needy girls
from 18 to "a who would be given
home-making and vocational in
struction in the home constitute a
social problem.
"They are the citizens of the

lishment of the school here, pass
ed by the city council Monday
night.

practical and sound training and
supervision is given girls attend
ing the school.
'The council believes that the
program of the NYA is a step in
the right direction in solving the
problems confronting the youth
of this country.
"The council endorses and APP
proves the program of the NYA
in establishing training school
for girls unable to finance their
own education and training. They
constitute most important and
distressing social and economic
problem facing the country.
"The council pledges the full
and whole-hearted cooperation
of the city administration in any
action the county board see fit to
take"
Bids for the seasons supply of
creosoted lumber, corrugated

pany and the Elk River company
and Bladholm brothers of Mar

WELFARE SECRETARY
DEFENDS PLAN ON
ECONOMY BASIS

A plan to convert the Redwood
County Home into a training
school for girls under the Ma
tional Youth administration met
opposition from Commissioner j..
P. Kragh of Morgan when it
came before the county board
Wednesday afternoon.
Some people in his district are
opposed to the project, having
originally voted for an old peo-
pies home expecting the building
to be maintained as such, Kragh
said. He reiterated that its value
lay in being a place where old
persons can be taken immediate
ly in cases of emergency.
Commissioner Kragh was asked
to bring his DIRECTORS to meet
ing with NYA officials in the
commissioners room at 10 a. m.
Tuesday. Plans for the project
will be outlined and there will be
a breakdown report of present
county home expenses.
Other commissioners, who APP
peared favorable to the plan, will

tricts to the session at which

Msgr. Ryan Urges
Embargo Repeal 10
Help Defeat Hitler
U. S. Held Morally
Obligated to Aid
Allies in War

Asserting that "in the present
crisis our country is morally obliged
to do all that it reasonably can to
defeat Hitler" Msgr. John A. Ryan
last night urged repeal of the arms
embargo.
Victory for this evil genius and
his evil principles in this war would
mean the destruction of Christian
civilization throughout large part
of Europe" he declared. I'm order
to find enemies of the human race
comparable with this moral mon
strosity. one has to go back to the
5th century Hun, Attila, who came
to be called the Scourge of God,' or
to the 18th century Mongol, Genghis
Khan, who believed he had a divine
call to conquer the world"
Msgr. Ryan, who spoke from Sta
ton WJSV over the Columbia net
work, is director of the social action
department of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, but said he
spoke "only for myself, as an Amer
lcan citizen who believes that he
knows something about the princi-
pies of international morality"
Some utterances of those in favor
OF retaining the embargo, he said,
remind us unpleasantly of Cain,
who scornfully asked: Am I my
brothers keeper?' The person who
asserts that we should be impartial
and indifferent in our attitude to-
ward the conflict between the Hitler
government and the allies repudi-

Urges Recognition
Of responsibilities

With an address by Mrs. Harper
Sibley, of Rochester, N. Y, as a
feature of its program, the annual
Missionary Institute, directed by
the Women's Council of the WASH
lngton Federation of Churches,
opened three-day session today
at the Mount Vernon Place Metho-
dist Church, Ninth street and Mas
sachusetts avenue NV.
Mrs. Sibley, who is widely known
as a church worker, gave the first
OF three inspirational talks she will
make during the institute. Her
subject today was. WANTED: A
Unified Personality"
The institute also began study
of home missions, under Mrs. Leila
A. Rothenburger, of Indianapolis,
who used as her text the volume,
Homeland Harvest" Foreign mis-
sions will be studied at later ses-
sion.
Declaring that problems facing
missions in this country, today are

Mrs. Rothenburger described these
problems as important as those that
split the church in the days of the
Civil War.
Every underprivileged, unedu-
Gated, underfed, underpaid man,
woman and child on the streets to-
day" she said, 'is so much walking
dynamite"
In discussing means of achieving
unified personality, Mrs. Sibley de-
clared the fundamental law of
spiritual life is not to have, but to
give.
She suggested the thought that
sit doesn't matter what happens to
us, but what happens to everybody
else and added: IF We understand
the suffering of the world, it will put
our own suffering in different per-
