The superior court has ordered that
dividend of 10 per cent. in favor of
the savings depositors of the Thames
Loan and Trust company be paid out
of the funds on deposit in the general
account to the savings depositors en-
titled to share therein as soon as the
same can, conveniently be done.
The order was granted on the ap-
plication of the receiver, Amos A.
Browning. There is on deposit in the
name of the savings department up
wards of $1,000 which with the
amounts to be realized from the con-
version into cash of securities still
held in and for the department it is
probable, though not certain, until
such conversion has taken place, will
be sufficient to pay the share of the
general expenses of administration to
be borne by the department as advised
by the court in its order and decision
dated November 80, 1915.
The amount required for a dividend
of 10 per cent. is about $5S,466.99.
There is sufficient in the general de-
post account to pay this dividend.
The receiver believes that it is for
the best interests OF the trust and the
depositors and other creditors that
the dividend of 10 per cent. should be
paid on their respective claims as soon

those who are contemplating a power
boat cruise has been written by Ru-
fus Bradford Burnham of Buffalo. for

by have been assembled and set forth
in The Power Cruisers Pilot in a
most fascinating manner.
The book which contains % pages is

% illustrations. including a scene on
the Thames and views in which other
local young men besides the author

ume is devoted to The Pure JOY OF
Cruising. the second to Some ASPECTS
Of Cruising, after which he deals with
the boat and the equipment in the next
two chapters and concludes with Some
Good Cruising Waters as his final
chapter.
Those who have experienced the JOY
| Of power boat cruising can appreciate
I Mr.. Burnnam's position when he SAYS:
| One who does not feel the wild OK
! hilaration of the leaping craft. guided
! by q touch upon the wheel that Is sure
and strong, through the spume-tipped
| breasted seas TO the quiet. sheltered
/ have has no battle fire within him. The
! life of one who does not love the sea
J is as incomplete as that Of one who
! has no ear for music"
Some valuable hints are given for
| daily runs and safety first IS urged IS
| a good cruising slogan. while patience
| and confidence are always of the
! greatest value to those cruising. Some
! excellent advice is given concerning

some Of the attractive runs along tho

use OF rivers. canals and lakes.
