Helena civic leader, Margaret Hibbard, dies HELENA (AP) Margaret Hibbard, daughter of a pioneer sheep rancher and a longtime community leader in Helena, died Monday at the age of 91. Mrs. Hibbard's contributions to her lifelong home included preservation of the historic "Guardian of the Gulch" water tower and creation of the Helena Red Cross and the St.

Peter's Hospital Association. She was born March 20, 1895, to Henry and Alberta Sieben, founders of the sprawling Sieben Ranch north of Helena. She spent all of her active life, except for college, in the Helena area, refusing to get old. "I just look ahead, and I keep my mind open and make friends with the younger generation," she said in 1977, when she was 82. Her nephew, U.S.

Sen. Max Bau- cus, said "age was irrelevant" to Mrs. Hibbard. "She was tremendously easy with all kinds of people," he said. Her husband, Alfred, a bank president, died in 1968.

Her son, Hank, a state senator and unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate against the late Lee Metcalf, died in a plane crash in 1976. Her record of civic service dated back to 1917, when she organized the Red Cross chapter in Helena. Baucus said he often went to her for inspiration and advice. "I can't think of a more inspirational woman," he said.

"She was Katherine Hepburn and Meryl Streep, all together." Memorial services are scheduled Thursday in St. Peter's Episcopal Cathedral.

That transfer is awaiting Federal Communications Commission approval, according to the bankruptcy petition. The Kimballs listed debts of $38 in wages, $18,250 secured and $405,561 unsecured. The debt to Christian Broadcasting is about $322,000, the petition says.
