1 This conclusion has been
reached by Deputy Sheriff Jake
Marin, following several days of

jurors recently. This is the see-
oud time the sheriff's office has
been called on to sumauon both
men and women for jury service,
and the experience, this fnll in
the same kind that was met last
spring. Women generally are
averse to serving on a jury, and
since the law gives them the
privilege of serving or not, ac-
I cording to their own convenience,
a big majority vary gracefully
back out of .the ohl gation.
Among those on the list re-
eently drawn who have definite- j
ly refused to serve are the fol-
lowing: Metta Klgin, Pcndle-
