S. District Court. Saturday morning 10:30. This is the second time the sheriff has arrested Tarpon Springs spongers. On the first he |. was also given a “show cause” order and in U. S, District Court before Akerman .a habeas corpus order was granted 26 spongers il- legally diving in county waters. The question of whether the divers were illegally operating or not hinges on interpretation of the Constitution of the state of Florida, which says that the county boundaries extend in a northeastwardly line to the main- land from Dry Tortugas. This di- rection would strike the main- a | Indian Key Light and would mean that 30 miles of water from the Keys on the east would be included in the county boundaries. The spongers were \caught about 10 miles off shore. Unofficially, it has been an- nounced that attorney general |G. C.

In biblical times Sukkos was an agricultural festival. It was the occasion for Jews to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, there to }lay sacrifices on the altar of the Temple .and to sing -hymns. of praise and thanksgiving to God |for His bounty. The destruction of the Temple and the disappearance of sacrifice | as a form of worship brought! changes in the observance of the holiday but the spirit of the fes- tival has not changed. Observant Jews still build a Sukkoh or |small booth. It is intended to be |a reminder of the time when the, Jews.lived in such’ booths during their forty years of wan- dering in the desert and of God's | | goodness to them. The: Sukkos are decorated with fruits and foli- age of the fall season to sym- bolize God’s loving kindness. The | Synagogue, too, is decorated with | |fruits and flowers, the palm} ' branch or lulov, as it is called in| Hebrew, with the citron or esrog, | and sprigs of fragrant myrtle, jas well as boughs of the willow ;tree. All these represent the harvest character of the festival. Beyond the historic significance | ;of the Sukkoh many other mean- | ings are attached to this small ta- ; bernacle which stands near the jhome of each observant Jew at jthis season.
