JEWISH FESTIVAL
WILL BEGIN ON
SUNDAY EVENING
JOYOUS VEST AND
THANKSGIVING EVENT is
KNOWN IN HEBREW AS
SUKKOS OF 'TABERNACLES'

In a mood wildly different
from the solemnity Of the High
Holyday period just ended, Jews
have already begun preparations
for the joyous harvest and thanks
giving festival known in Hebrew
as Sukkos or "Tabernacles," "
which is observed for eight days
amid an atmosphere of autumn
fruits and foliage symbolizing
Gods goodness to men. 1t begins
this year on Sunday evening, Sep
TENDER 10.
Services in accordance with
this festival will be held at the
local Jewish synagogue by Rev.
JOS. Male.
The continuity between the
High Holydays and the Sukkos
festival is given concrete express
sion in a picturesque old custom.
The observant Jew on leaving the
synagogue after his Yom Kippur
Ndevotions and before breaking his
fast, performs the first action in
the task of erecting a Sukkah-
the booth which calls to mind
Gods bounty to the children of
Israel during their forty years in
the wilderness.
Prominent in the ceremonial OBJ
jects of this holiday are the
flour Species: the palm branch,
the sprig of myrtle, the willow
bough and TIE citron. Many beau
tiful tales and explanations have
been woven around these remind
ers of God in nature.
SuIskos is one of the three great
pilgrim festivals" of ancient
times. With the Passover and
the Feast of Weeks it was the oc-
casion for a visit to the Temple
in Jerusalem and participation in
the service Of thanksgiving-Nlm
God. This character of gratitude
for Gods providence is central
in the observance of the holiday
in modern times.
The eighth day of the festival
has been utilized of late by lib
eral synagogues as the occasion
for "consecration service" for
mally inducing young children
into the Religious School. The
above completion Of the annual
cycle of readings from the Torah,
the scroll of the Pentateuch, At
this time the last verses of Deu-
teronomy are read, the scroll is
rolled back and the reading begun
again with the first verses of
Genesis, symbolizing the unbrok-
en- continuity of IsraePs devotion
to the Law.

cles, it IS explained.

When the thugs went to work on the

FOUR BURN TO DEATH
IN BLAZING LOG CABIN
Mother and Day-Old Baby Perish
as Father Is Hurt in Rescue
Attempt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CAYLOR, Va, March l7.-Four
persons were burned to death in fire
which destroyed the three-room log
cabin of Granville Ayers, 30-year-old
tenant farmer, near here last night.
Ayers, who escaped with his oldest
daughter, Betty, was burned in futile
efforts to save the others.
His 25-year-old wife, her l-day-old
baby girl, another 3-year-old daughter,
Dora, and Miss Birdie Massingill, II,
OF Cumberland Gap, Tenn, all
burned to death
Miss MasSingill was at the home to
assist Mrs. Ayers during childbirth.
Two foxhunters discovered the fire
at 1870 o'clock last night and rushed
to the house to awaken Ayers. The
tenant farmer and his daughter, who
were in one room, broke out window
to reach the open.
Frantic, Ayers tried to rush back
into the house to reach his wife and
three others, who had been asleep in
another room
Either Mrs. Ayers or Miss MaSsingili
tried to escape from the house, having
craWled or run into the room where
Ayers had been asleep. The charred
remains of the body was found, where
it had fallen on the bed, by searchers
today.
