the pump filled minutes it in is announced today how Mayor Car: Swan could be bailed out of jail. Local citizenes who desire Carlisle or Swan to be released can contribute to their bail, which will be $1000, or $500 each. Contributions will be accepted by phone, telephone number 2- 1858, or persons may come to the jail, located in the basem*nt of the City Hall, and make their contribution.

This, too, can be accomplished through contributions. When your donation, you can specify whether you want Swan or the mayor to stay in jail or be released. Persons donating for them to remain in jail will cancel the donations of those giving to get them out. That is to say, each dollar received to keep them in will strike a dollar donated to let them out. As soon as either Swan or the mayor receives donations totaling $500, he will be released; the other will stay in until he receives $500 in tions.

Why, in Forrest County alone over $700 will be spent each month on these Judge Montague said: "The March of Dimes is one of the most worthwhile fund raising projects sponsored in the city, and this jail sentence should go a long way in showing the necessity of getting behind the March of Dimes.

Krewe Of Zeus(Continued from Page One) the Middle Ages it was a serious matter. Meat, eggs and milk were forbidden during Lent by both ecclesiastical and statute law. During the time of Charlemagne death was the penalty for the wanton disregard of fasting. Even as late as the era of Queen Elizabeth I a law was passed fining butchers twenty pounds for slaughtering animals during Lent. Armies and garrisons had to have a dispensation to eat meat.

At the siege of Orleans in 1429 the besieged were reduced to starvation for want of lenten food although they had plenty of meat and other proscribed foods. With a period of forty days of strict fasting and a limited diet ahead, it would only be natural to wish to eat one's fill before the severe regimen began. The Carnival or Mardi Gras might thus be said to be of religious origin and associated with Church ritual. It is mainly celebrated in the southern part of the United States in the section included in the Lousisana Purchase where French and Spanish influences were predominant. The pre-Lenten Season and Shrove Tuesday were celebrated by various customs in centuries past.

In England, Shrove Tuesday was celebrated by throwing at co*cks. This custom was practiced in France long before the Battle of Agincourt. Shrovetide football was played in England, Scotland and medieval Florence.

The spirit of mass participation even by those who are not observers of Lent became universal. This lead to organized celebrations and merriment such as that enjoyed by the Hattiesburg Civic Association, which flourishes under the name of The Mystic Krewe of Zeus.
