THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Weather Never
Pleases AH
The People
BY BRENDA WILLIAMSON
BRRR! Cold weather has in
deed arrived!
Most people generally agree
that it came with a bang with
temperatures dropping to freez
ing and then to zero. When the
weatherman predicted a low of
five or eight degrees, people
could be seen hurrying to their
favorite service station telling
the man in charge to “check my
anti-freeze.”
One thing for sure, no one left
their warm fireside or heater to
go outside in the chilling 18 de
gree weather unless it was neces
sary. Even in Atlanta, where
large numbers of shoppers go
after Christmas each year, no one
could be seen on the streets, with
the people who did brave the cold
weather scurrying to their desti
nation. Even animals did not go
out unless necessary. Once they
found a warm place to bed down
that was the extent of their mov
ing around except at feeding
time, of course.
School children were happy be
cause of the fact that schools in
many parts of Georgia were
closed due to the low gas pres
sure which also closed many busi
nesses. A sad fact, believed
caused by the below freezing
temperatures, was the many
deaths in the Southeast due to ex
posure and fires. Even though
the OEO in Atlanta remained
open 24 hours a day to help those
in need, apparently there were
some that did not get the message
or just did not try to obtain their
services.
The fact remains that people
are never satisfied. During the
summer when the heat was swel
tering near the 100 degree mark,
people could be heard saying that
they couldn't wait until cold
weather. Now that it’s cold they
aren’t at all satisfied. Now they
.can’t wait until summer and hot
weather. Take it or leave it, the
weather is one thing that the
scientists have not been able to
control yet. And until they do,
people will just grumble and com
plain everyday, no matter what
the temperature is.
PERSONAL
Friends of Mrs. Sannie Vick
ers will be glad to know that she
is now at the home of her daugh

HOLLY AND BERRIES
Only female holly plants pro
duce berries. And it is not pos
sible to tell if a plant from the
woods is a female until it becomes
large enough to produce flowers
or berries. Gerald Smith, Exten
sion Service horticulturist, says
it is better to purchase a named
variety from a nursery. He adds
that homeowners who collect hol
lies from the woods are usually
disappointed in the results.
