In the absence of a need for such considerations however, the proceeds of the Trust shall be distributed as fairly and as equally as is possible to or for the benefit of my ~^ an~~,'~ I . said child or children and the Trustees shall be the sole -2- ~ , final judges of the method and amount of distribution to or . for the benefit of each of my said children.

If ANNA HICKE MAJOR should predecease me or fa' -3- to act or qualify a~ Trustee at any time during the life of the Trust hereinbefore created for the benefit of my sur- , viving child or ~hildren, I appoint CITY TRUST COMPANY of Bridgeport, Connecticut, as Alternate or Successor Trustee I , of the aforesaid Trust, as the case may be, for my said children. ;! I give my Executrix power to sell any real estate or personal property. I request that no Executrix, Trustee, or Guardian be required to give any bond, and that if, notwith- standing this request, any bond is required by law, statute or rule of court, no sureties be required of them.
