It's half MAST. For President Ford. They will fly at half mast until Jan 24, 2007 by presidential proclamation, signed by George W. Bush, Dec 26, 2006.

Could be because of Martin Luther King . If your speaking about the week of January 15, 2007, which is the day in Rememberance of Martin Luther King ..

the word is mast, not mass.
The flags are at half-mast. Or half-staff
