The TRUSTEE shall have the power to do all acts, institute all

Further, this TRUST shall be administered without the necessity

The interest of the beneficiaries of this trust shall not be
assignable, and beneficiaries shall not have the right to pledge,

provided for by the beneficiaries herein shall be made directly
to them or their guardians as is provided herein.
ARTICLE VIII

The TRUSTEE in his discretion may make payments of income or
principal to any minor or incompetent beneficiary by paying the
same to the minor or incompetent's guardian, or to the person

the TRUSTEE may also pay an allowance in such amount as he may
see fit from time to time to the minor or incompetent. Further, in
the discretion of the TRUSTEE the distributions for a minor or
incompetent beneficiary may be accumulated and shall thereupon be
paid to the minor or incompetent upon their disability being

beneficiary. Upon payment, the TRUSTEE shall be discharged from
all further duties.
