Orleans traditional Mardi Gras has it's
commercial aspects. But for all the
tourism and trade that the season brings
Mardi Gras cannot be wrenched from its
spiritual context. Mardi Gras means
Shrove Tuesday, which is the day be-
fore Ash Wednesday and the last fling
before the austerity of Lent.
I'VE would wish Greenwich Village
many happy dollar returns on its spring
or summer festival. But we would sug-
gest that it present it's spectacle frankly
for what it is, tourist gimmick. We
sense lack of the sentiments that
would make 'Mardi Gras' in July a
Mardi Gras at all"
Very well said, Times-P icayunc!

Do You?

The new year still is fresh and new
And we should feel just like it too;
But otter tiresome Christmas chores
And pushing through the crowded stores,
Of wrapping gifts and writing cords,
Of ooroIIing with Christmas bords,
Of keeping stocked, the grooming board
For what seemed like an endless horde,
OF playing games that Santa sent,
OF checking up on money spent
And house keeping to carry on
Until the holidays we're gone,
Among housewives, III bet ore few
Who, like the year, feel fresh and new.
e o our good wives, | here oude,
And not old oodgers like myself.
Now grown too old for Christmas chores

how successfully accurate is he!
Mr.. Rubin predicts the cold and hot

uses other criteria such as sun spots
