From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page One) = — BN house, having been designed with two worthy objects in view, namely the discouragement of any roving member of the public who may desire to sit in on any court pro- ceeding, and the keeping awake of the potential jurors awaiting selec- tion or rejection. Second, if a prospective juror looks intelligent, speaks the King’s English without an accent, hails from a good residential district, or | is prominent locally, he has just as much chance of serving on a jury as ithe Biblical camel hag of negoti- ating the needle’s eye. Take it from one who has lived and suffered, if your face is clean, your hair brush- ed, your shoes polished, you are: per se a bloated capitalist and in- capable of rendering an unbiased verdict, and as such you are auto- matically challenged.

The Montross-Kitchen Reunion rin’'s Marsh Grove owned by Sam- uel Montross who passed away on Tuesday, March 11, will miss his presence at the reunion in August, 1947. Mr. Montross was 88 years of age on February 10, His wife, the former ‘Almira Brun- gess, died 14 years ago. Mr. Montross was a man of sterling character and was a kind. husband and father. Thousands of fishermen will re- member Mr. Montross as he was always on ‘the job at any time of night or day to rent his boats to them for fishing on his pond. Mr. Montross was the oldest gur- vivor of a large family bearing that name in this section of the country. Coming from Connecticut into the Wyoming Valley and Monroe Town- ship and adjacent country, the fam- ily made some interesting connec- tions and contributions tlo the his- tory of variousstowns back of the mountains, An interesting feature in family history is the “double cousin” re- lationship between sons and daugh- ters of Clark Montross of which Samuel was a member and the sons and daughters of the late [Elijah Montross, well known Methodist minister, pioneering ‘the hills in Back Mountain country. ‘George, held for a number of years at Per- | Tribute To Samuel Montross Life-Long Resident of Centermoreland, Pa. the oldest son of Elijah, was almost a “twin” image of his double cousin, Samuel. The double cousin fam- ilies had lived close to each other in the early pioneer days, and in- : deed, were almost like brothers and sisters to each other. Mr. Montross leaves the follow- ing children: Mrs. Ella Mathers, Orange; Mrs. Pearl Howell, Dallas; Mrs, Olive Clark; Centermoreland; Mrs, Ida Dailey, Nicholson; Mrs. Mabel Tripp, Johnson ‘City; Mrs. Bessie Sweitzer, Wyoming, and a son, (George, Centermoreland. He will be missed but mot for- gotten, and rather than mourn over his passing, we rejoice in what we know of a good life well spent on earth and kindly directed toward his fellowmen. As the minister, Rev. Kline, said in reading a familiar hymn at the funeral, “We say good-bye to him here for a while but we hope for a glad good morning in Heaven.” Pall bearers were: Clyde Mathers, Ernest Montross, Frank Howell, Samuel Sweitzer, Marshall Mathers and Lewis Tripp, all grandsons. Flower .carriers were: Geraldine Jacques, Audrey Mathers, Ola Mae Montross, Marion Jacques and Fran- ces Jacques, all great-granddaught- ers. Seventeen grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren also [ survive. The attorney who feels that his case is watertight and bolstered by ample proof, welcomes the intelli- gent juror. The attorney who knows that his case is full of holes chal- lenges any juror who lbetrays 'the slightest gleam of intelligence, judg- ing correctly that such a juror will not be readily swayed by legal pyro- technics. There are a number of contribut- ing circumstances ‘which will ex- clude you from actual jury duty. If your circle of casual acquaint- ance includes lawyers of any prom- inence, 'you may as well squeal out of possible jury duty lat once, ex- plaining to the sheriff that you have important , business - in Florida or that your great-aunt is scheduled to pass away on March the seven- teenth at ‘ten AM. and you must be free to attend the obsequies and the subsequent reading of the will. There is a husky fine attached to non-appearance in the court room once you have signed and returned the summons to jury duty, so you are stuck for a full week of those lethal benches unless you have con- nections who will personally assume the responsibility for quiet removal of your listed number from the box. There is another thing to remem- ber, and that is that if by some fluke or oversight you actually do remain in the jury box without be- ing challenged, 'the ‘taking of notes on the case is fatal. If you take notes, you will never serve on an- other jury. The lawyers pass such damaging information around, whispering sibilantly from behind shielding palms, ‘“‘See ‘that woman, the one in the yast year’s hat? THAT WOMAN takes notes. Better look out far her, she’ a dangerous character.” Being ‘thrown off of jury after jury becomes monotonous, and even faintly demoralizing. Fifteen minutes of luxury, tipped back in a padded chair with a swive] seat, and ‘then you're out on your ear again, back to the Salt Mines and the benches. Personally T became so sensitive on ithe subject that I approached one of the attorneys for information. “I look reasonably intelligent”, I pled, “and I have always con- sidered myself a solid citizen, but I don’t seem to be acceptable to anybody around here. My morals wouldn't tbe in question, would they 2” Information was forthcoming, with no punches pulled. “Trouble with you, Mrs. Hicks”, soothed the attorney with a father- ly pat on ‘the shoulder, * is ‘that you are too prominent. If you want to serve on a jury, you'll have to change ‘your name. ‘Anybody with three initials in front of her mame and a Jr. after it, gets thrown off a jury on general principles.” as Mrs. [Specknoodle from iShick- shinny, and see if I can get to serve on a- jury.
