RECEIVER COFFIN
GIVEN VACATION
Has Been OFF Duty But Ten
Days Since Taking Over
Trust
Has Given Satisfaetion TO Debtors
Creditors, and Department
ment

Receiver George NJ. Coffin Of the
First National Bank left Saturday %
visit his old home and relatives in
Charleston, N. G. This Is the first
real vacation that Mr.. Coffin has had
since taking over the tangled bank
affairs .hree and half years ago,
During that time he has had but Zen
days. q day at time. to rest from
his labors and great responsibility.
Receiver Coffin has handled the
affairs Of the bank IN such an efficient
manner that creditors have received
seyenty-five per cent Of their claims.
In collecting the assets Of the bank
the receiver has been just and lenient,
but always having in mind the inter
est Of the creditors. He has been
sympathetic when those in debt to the
Institution have been unable 10 pay,
and has given as much time as posi-
Bile and every opportunity he could
to avoid hardship and disbursement
To the debtor.
That his execution Of his trust
has been beneficial 10 both debtors
and creditors Ii borne out by the fact
Of the large payment in dividends and
also that none have been pressed so
hard for payment Of their debts as to
necessi3ate refuge IN the bankruptcy
court.
The satisfaction that has developed
in the settlement Of the banks af-
fairs has been due 10 the close appIi-
cation Of the receiver to the enormous
task assigned Co him by the comptrol-
Ter Of the currency nj Washington.
The federal department, under which
Mr. Coffin operates. realized this; also
that he had not had real vacation
since assuming his trust and volun-
fnrially gave him months leave Of
absence During the absence Of Mr..
Coffin the banks affairs will BIO in
the hands Of his able assistant, Miss
Helen Sharpe, his chief clerk. who
will be In touch with MIR. Coffin while
he is away.

CHURCHES JOIN
WITH KIWANIANS
ON EASTER MEET
Bisbee to Hold Joint Sunrise
Service With Douglas
At Twin ButteS

Pat White spoke to the Kiwanis
| yesterday on his proposal that a
joint sunrise service be held at
Twin Buttes on Easter morning
with Bisbee and Douglas partici-
pating. The idea was Immediately
taken up and seconded by three
members of the Douglas Minis
terial association, who finally
backed a motion to hold the sun
rise service. They we're then ap-
pointed on a committee to arrange
for the service. Rev. J. e. Cong
don, Jr., suggested that Bisbee be
asked to prepare the program this
year. Pat White was appointed
On the committee with the minis
! ers The approval Of the project
was unanimous.
| White first made this suggestion
Jseveral days ago in a conversation
on the matter Of the boy scouts
amphitheater at Twin Buttes. The
banker has pointed out that other
communities that hold an annual
Easter sunrise service have made
a great thing Of it and have in
creased their annual attendance
Thy thousands each year.
The speed with, which approval
of the project was gained at the
Kiwani5 luncheon was remarkable
! Rev Tolbert F. Weaver, speaking
for the Ministerial association, said
that the association had held a
injecting few days ago and pre-
pared for sunrise service in the
Tenth street park but that he was
lin favor of the inter-city meetinG.
| at Twin Buttes instead.
| Rev. j e. Congdon Immediately
seconded the motion anG said that
| lie wanted Bisbee to I'll nish Tho
program as the idea FOR the meet
i ing has come from Douglas and
this the two cities will have lnlrt
/! in lie first annual meeting. Rev.
| ] Hunter Smith susgea;oi that d5
lmany rerrle in the city wanted to
attend the Easter service at the
Eplscopal church, which is at 8
a. M, it would be proper to hold
the, Twin Buttes joint service
early enough to give everyone. time
to get back for other servicesl
Pat White then suggested that 6
a. M was the right hour, or exactly
as the sun rises, which might be a
few minutes before or after G. It
was agreed that this hour would
be appropriate as the service is a
sunrise service and that the meet
ling should be made short. Pat
White, Rev. Mr., Congdon, Rev. Mr..
Smith and Rev. Mr.. Weaver were
named as a committee to carry on
the arrangement for the first an
nual inter-city Easter sunrise serv-
lice to be held at Twin Butres amph7
