The reflectorized tags have blue letters on a beige background with the county name across the bottom. The five year tags also have letters at the be ginning rathe r than our tradi tional county number of 102. We assume this is the busiest time of the year for Tax Collector Mary Will Hearn and her staff for they will be quite active now receiving and distributing tags. People can often be heard remarking that people to day have little regard for hon esty, integrity and public morals and that our laws have come to the point of becoming quite law less. All this may be quite true but while we were gathering material for the looking back wards column we came across an item in the Progress-Argus 40 years ago which was taken from the Dawson News. It was as fol lows: “We are living in the worst period of lawlessness the country has ever known. There never has been a time when people had so little regard for honesty and in- tegrity, nor so little concern or alarm for the state of public morals and safety.” One can draw their own conclusions as to which era of time, then or now, was the worst period but it is quite amazing that 40 years later people still complain about the same things whether they be laws, safety, morals or every day liv ing. Many of those “old timers” would “turn over in their graves” if they were living in today’s world. So many things are done now without any restrictions whatsoever and yet people keep right on griping about the sit uation when they themselves are going to be the ones to correct the situation and stand up for what is right, decent and moral. We often wonder what the world will be like five years from now if the One from on high chooses to leave our planet, earth, in place The song “Rain- drops Keep Falling on my Head” has proven true the last few weeks due to all the rain we have been having. We have been quite lucky thus far though by escap ing all the snow and ice that north Georgians and persons far ther north have been experienc ing. While the weather men pre dicted middle Georgia would be the victim of these weather haz ards, conditions just didn’t turn out that way. Lucky as we' have been we had better not count our chickens before they hatch for we still have most of January and all of February and March to struggle through One of Jackson’s most attractive young matrons, Mrs. Avis Matthews, will be missed around town now due to her moving from Jackson to her home at Jekyll Island.
