Landauer Associates Continental Insurance Company The Debevoise Company Lambert Brothers anufacturers Representative A. Vere Shaw & Company To fill the vacancy caused by a resignation for a term expiring in 1954. JOHN G. BYLER V. T. Grant Company Our Association had its Annual Yeeting on November 24th at the Hotel Belmont Plaza. The new location proved a very happy choice. Chairs were more comfortable, the spacious Moderne Room provided better ventilation and its attractive appoint- ments contributed importantly to the pleasure of the occasion. The agenda was streamlined for a quick disposal of many routine matters, and gave opportunity for a spirited question and answer period following the quite out- standing address by the guest of honor, the Hon. J. Fiward Lumbard, Jr., United States Attorney for the Southern District. This was Mr. Lumbard's first apoearance before our Association and we hope it will not be the last. President Ogden reviewed the accomplishments of the Association during the past year in his Annual Address, of which the following are excerpts: Among our accomplishments the past year - and they are not inconsiderable - I am inclined to name as of first importance the revision of the Handbook. This was a labor of nearly two years, and the new edition came off the press early this month. I think it is important to make a clear statement of the purpose and content of this Handbook. It is intended to enable the juror to enter t e Grand Jury room with a fairly clear picture of what will confront him: to help him function efficiently and intelligently in the discharge of his duties, to meet the every- day type of situation that experience has shown is most apt to occur. You who are Association members can take real pride in this new Handbook. Already, and it is less than a month old, the entire staff of the United States Attorney's Office of this District have copies as part of their tools in trade. We have sent the Handbook by request to the United States District Cou-t of west Virginia and Judge Watkins in his acknowledgement tells us that in turn, he has placed them in the hands of the Committee on the Operation of the Judicial Conference of the United States. In the matter of Dual Jury Service, I am pleased to report some real accomplish- ment. By Dual Jury Service, I refer of course to the practice whereby both the County and the Southern District each maintains its own jury list and in the routine procedures attached to this system a juror sometimes gets caught in the middle. Request for exemption from jury duty may, under certain conditions, now he made by mail. (Because of the intricacies involved, President Ogden omitted the particulars from his address. They are printed here for the first tire on pace 4.
