DON'T WANT MONEY Depositors in the defunct First National Bank of Gig Harbor apparently don't want their money, according to Winfield A. McLean, receiver for the bank. The receiver recently issued a number of checks to depositors representing a 35 per cent dividend, but no one comes to get the checks, McLean avers. He has, however, arranged for the checks to be kept at the bank's former headquarters and urges that all involved should come forward and claim their dividends.
