Senator McF arland
To Head Group
On Post War Plans

Arizona's Senator Mcfarland was
appointed last week to head the i'm
portant congressional move to for
mulate a postwar policy for the
United States role in international
communications.
One aim of this policy will be to
reduce international communication
rates in order to increase swift
exchange of news. Another objec-
tive will be to determine the type
of system or systems that will best
serve American interests.
A policy must also be decided in
reference to the future use or dis
position of radio stations which
military forces have erected and
and operating in various parts of
the world.

R. 5. Langford
Takes Own Life
Early Wednesday
Had been manager of Valley
National Bank in Coolidge
since its establishment
here in 1884.

Announcement of funeral ar
rangements for R. S. Langford,
widely known Coolidge banker who
took his own life early Wednesday
morning, will not be made until def
mite word is received from his sis
ter, Mrs. Pearl Sheriff., or his
nephew, Joe o. Sheriff. who are
now living in Philadelphia.
Death as the result of a gunshot
wound in the right temple self
inflicted about $50 Wednesday
morning was the finding of a cor
oner's jury.
Apparently no reason for taking
his life could be ascribed by friends
who visited with him in the busi-
ness district of the city within an
hour of his death.
Two final notes, apparently writ
ten at his office were found in his
apartment, neither of which gave
any reason for his act. One note,
addressed to Dalton H. Cole, of
Cole and Maud Mortuary, gave de-
tailed instructions requesting the
shipment of his remains to San
Diego, California, for burial and
the further request that no services
be held in Coolidge.
Ralph S. Langford, known to
host of ftiends as "Sam," had been
resident of Coolidge since 1929
when he came to the city as mana
ger for the Arizona Southwest Bank
which position he maintained until
that institution failed during the
summer of 1881.
BY the early part of 1882 Mr..
Langford was operating a money
exchange on Main street in asso-
citation with the Valley Bank and
Trust Company of Phoenix, remain
ing as manager for the bank when
branch bank was established in
May of 1884,
In point of service Mr.. Langford
was one of the oldest managers of
Valley National Banks in Arizona.
Mr.. Langford was born in New
berry, S. c., Jan. Is, 1898, and at
tended a military school at Charles
ton, S. c. during his youth, spend
ing his early manhood years in
banking and oil business in Wichita
Falls, Texas.
Other than his sister and nephew,
little is known in Coolidge of other
relatives. His former wife, Mrs.
Sue Langford, resides with her
mother in Texas.

the General Council of the Assem-
blies of God Churches. Rev. o.
Donnell has been pastor of the
Tabernacle since its beginning here.
In an open letter to the public she
says: "As pastor of Trinity Full
Gospel Tabernacle in Coolidge for
the past six years, I wish to thank
the good people of Coolidge, who
have helped in many ways that
this church might grow and be-
come blessing to many.
February II, 1945, our congre-
cation by invitation was accepted
in full fellowship with the General
Council of the Assemblies of God
Churches, which in no way changes
our teaching or practise of Christ
ian living. We felt the need of a
broader Ministry and larger fell
lowship with people of like faith.
We appreciate more than words can
say, the cooperation and help OF
the good people of Coolidge for the
past six years, and hope to keep
friendship, fellowship and faith
with you as before.
Our church is now called Trinity
Assembly of God Church. You are
welcome to attend any or all our
services. We will dedicate our new
church March 13, with an all day
fellowship meeting" A cordial
invitation to attend is extended to
everyone by Pastor O'Donnell.

In speaking of the Coolidge
squad, Coach Osborn said Coolidge
A Boys basketball players have
completed the most successful bas-
ketball season in the history of the
school by adding their fifteenth
victory to their total for the season
last week. Their only losses were
early season defeats at the hands
of Florence grammar school and
the local freshmen. These losses
have been avenged by recent vic
tories over both squads.
The squad Is primed and ready
for the county tournament, he said.
and will try to stop Florence's DOM
ination of the A Boys tournament.
Florence has held the county cham
pionship continuously for the past
seven years. This Is a difficult
task for Coolidge, whose tossers
must beat Eloy and the strong Casa
Grande team, in order to get to
the finals. while Florence must dis
pose only of Kenilworth to play in
the finals. A tough game is ex-
pected IL the two teams meet, as
both teams have had a good sea-
son, winning from all other county
teams.
The Coolidge team has been led
this season in scoring by pair Of
fast, shifty forwards, Oscar Bueno
and Charles Freeland, who have
scored a total of 124 points each
to date this season. The center
position has been ably held down
by Hinton Ellis who has scored
over sixty points, and has also
played a strong defensive game.
Two good reasons for Coolidge
teams success in season play are
the teams guards, speedy O'Neal
Adams and Annie Elkfns, who
have been holding the opponents
scoring down all season.
Leading the reserves are Bill
Davis, forward, who has scored
almost sixty points this season;
Bill Rogers and Condido Barrios,
guards, who are able to give the
first teamers much needed rest
without weakening the team to any
great extent Donald Ferguson.

who haven't had as much exper-
ience as the other players, but have
shown a great deal of improvement
In recent games.
