in trust, to invest and reinvest the same, to collect the income, and after
paying all expenses incident to the management of the trust, to use and
apply as much of the net income and principal as may be necessary in the sole
discretion of my trustee for the equivalent of an undergraduate collegiate
education of the children (presently consisting of Matthew William Majeske,
Julia Marie Majeske, and Audrey Jean Majeske) born to my daughter, Jane
Lower Majeske. The balance of principal and any accumulation of income
remaining in the hands of my trustee shall be paid to my daughter, Jane Lower
Majeske, whenever my trustee, in its sole discretion, decides such children
have had the opportunity to have the equivalent of an undergraduate collegiate
education, whichever occurs first. My trustee may, in the exercise of its
sole discretion, continue this trust under the same terms and conditions
for one more year. I direct that such payments for education shall be made
without the need to consider the ability of such children or their parents to
pay for such education, and without the intervention of a guardian. The
receipt of such person as may be selected by my trustee to disburse such
payments shall be a sufficient acquittance. Neither the principal nor the
income bequeathed under this trust or will shall be assigned or anticipated
by the beneficiaries named therein, nor shall the same be subject to attachment
or exception in the hands of my trustee or executor. If my daughter, Jane
Lower Majeske, is not living when this trust is terminated I give the principal
of said trust, accrued or otherwise to my grandchildren, presently consisting
of Matthew William Majeske, Julia Marie Majeske, and Audrey Jean Majeske.
B. If my wife, Annabel R. Lower, is not living 30 days after my death
I give $500.00 to Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA., and the remainder of
my estate as follows:

Majeske, is living 30 days after my death I give my entire estate to Farmers
Trust Company of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in trust for the education of my

for in sub-paragraph A. above.
SECOND: Some of the powers and duties of my trustee shall be:
1. Payments by my trustee or its successors for the general welfare or
education of such beneficiaries may be sprinkled by it among them or on
their behalf in such proportions, equal or unequal, as my trustee shall deem
advisable in its absolute discretion. My trustee is under no obligation to
make equal payments for such beneficiaries.
2. My trustee shall operate said trust as it sees fit in its sole
discretion, and shall not be bound by any statutory or other legal restrictions,
including but not limited to investments, now or hereafter in effect. It
shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of its duties
in any jurisdiction.
3. I authorize my trustee to exercise the following powers applicable
to all items of principal or income to be exercised in its sole discretion
until actual distribution of all property:
(a) To retain any real and personal property which may at any time
form part of this trust, including stock of the trustee, without regard to
any principle of diversification, risk or productivity.
(b) To invest in all forms of property, including stocks, common
trust funds and mortgage investment funds, without restriction to investments
authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as they deem proper, without regard
to any principle of diversification, risk or productivity.
