Dividend Raise The Bank for Savings and Loan Associations, the fastest growing commercial bank in the United States, has an­ nounced that its board of directors has voted to raise the regular cash dividend to $1.75 per share from the 75 cents per share paid last year. Arnold J. Rauen, of 2721 Regner road, McHenry, bank president, said that the $1.75 per share dividend will be paid in four quarterly installments with the first distribution on Sept. 30, 1972. "The substantial increase in the cash dividend rate reflects the strong earnings power of our exclusive bank," Rauen said. "The*: new dividend represents a return to stockholders of 5 per cent on their original investment." The Bank for Savings and Loan Associations serves only the savings and loan industry and does not deal with the general public. The bank provides the nation's S & Ls with professional access to the nation's money and capital markets. "Our assets currently are in excess of $170,000,000," Rauen said. Based on our current rate of growth, assets should exceed $200,000,000 by the end of the year." Clown Of Clowns KENNETH SCHOPP • Kenneth Schopp of 607 S. Orchid Path is a remarkable man, but one would have to see him in action to believe the unique process which has earned him the Clown of Clowns title in competition with 300. Ken is a Shrine clown whose arms and head are in a hat. To . win this most honored trophy that can be bestowed on a clown, he put a toy horn to his navel, and the "mouth" of the face was painted on his chest. When a small tape recorder within the tall hat is started by the clown himself, the whole world believes that the McHenry man is actually "blowing up a storm". And what's more, his eyes take on an added twinkle as he expands his chest. This latest honor was ac­ corded to him when units from five states and Canada par­ ticipated in a Shrine parade in downtown St. Louis held in connection with the meeting of the Great Lakes Shrine association in September. Last year Schopp won first place with the same act and costume in Toledo, Ohio. Locally, he clowns around as Ronald McDonald and Uncle Ken. Schopp is a member of Tebala Shrine Temple Klownarabians, the National Shrine Clowns association and the Clowns of Aerica, Inc.
