The Judge stated that he had the
profoundcst respect for any person who
Corscientiousiy observed their religious

there was ground for argument as to

he would not undertake TO go counter
to the decisions of the courts which,
for half century. had been almost
uniform in eXemptinE orthodox Jews

meant that persons of the class named
by the court could sell general mer-

spectators. Then it was also said
that all Of the snow would not be
removed by the swespers, thus
making . bad surface for playing.
