Evergreen to Start Regular Schedule Jacksonville Evergreen Bus Linei, Inc., will run buses between Med (ord and Jacksonville on a regularly scheduled basis starting tomorrow morning. L. R. Pilcher, manager of the line, said final approval tor the run was given by the Medford city council Thursday night when it approved changes for bus routes within the city. ; The public utilities commis sion approved the service sev eral weeks ago, he said. The first run will be from Jacksonville to Medford at 7:10 a.m. arriving in Medford at 7:30 a.m. After this trip the bus will leave Medford at 9, 11, 1, 3 and 5 o'clock daily. They will arrive in Jackson ville on the halt hour. There will be a total of five trips to Jacksonville and six trips from Jacksonville, Pil cher pointed out. Changes Mad Several changes have been made in routes within the city, he said, for the purpose of both eliminating money-losing routes here, and facilitating the Jacksonville run. Pilcher said the bus line, which was Incorporated last June, has been losing money on its routes within the city since they started service in August, 1059. A recently added Central Point route has been making money he said, and it is also expected that the Jackson ville run will be a money making proposition. He said the service to that city was started after a number of per sons in Jacksonville petitioned for it. Breaking Even Right now, he said, the profit on the Central Point run, just about equals the loss In the city, so they arc break ing oven. If they can show a profit on the Jacksonville run then the company will b able to purchase new equipment. He pointed out that the In corporated line has no rela tion to the old company, ex cept In name. There are three stockholders in the company now, of which Pilcher is one. Route changes within the city include discontinuing the route on East Main st. The bus will be rerouted to leave Trailways depot (from which all buses will depart on their routes) via East Jackson at., to Valley View dr., to Spring st., to Crater Lake ave., to East Jackson St., to Front St., and back to the depot. There will be four trips daily on this route he said. Buses will leave on the east side route at 9:30, 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30 o'clock. Another change will be to reroute the bus service on the west side of Medford. Instead of buses returning on West Main and Eighth sts., they will return on Columbus ave. and West Jackson at. Discontinue Some Trips Pilcher said it will be neces sary to discontinue four of the eight daily trips on the Or chard Home dr., in order to run the trips to Jacksonville. The number of runs to Cen tral Point will increase by on to a total of six dally. They will depart from the bus depot at 8:30, 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, 4:30 and 5:45 o'clock dally. All fares will be 25 cents, except for the Jacksonville run which will be 30 cents for one-way he said. There will be bus service every day of the year except Sundays and holidays. Pilcher said, "we are tring our best to do everything we can for the public and will give door to door service on our routes."

In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From Midlothian, Texas: The bodv nf Alvln H Streety, 52, of Dallas, was round under tons of rock at a quarry near here. He had ap parently been caught in a cave-in. His wife said he had gone to the area searchinff fnr FOOL'S GOLD (iron pyites). AH, me! What memories that brings up. The Lower Forty. Its roll ing hills, carpeted with blue grass. The shellbark hickory trees, scattered here and there, providing shade for the cattle in the summer and hickory nuts to crack and pick out in the winter. The persim mon trees-and their pinkish purple fruit, so bitter and puckery if eaten too soon and so luscious if allowed to nes tle in the blue grass until purged of its unsavory acids by the first frosts of the fall. The creek that wandered around at the foot of the hills The bluish clay at the bottom of it. Two small boys, bare foot, treading in the clay, soft and gooey after a sharp shower the night before. The delicious feel of the wet clay as it squlggled up between bare toes. The warm prlng sunshine pouring like a benediction from a blue and flawless sky. The joy of living at a season when heavy clothes and stiff boots had been relegated to the attic for another summer.

Famous for Top Quality Service J THEN Suddenly The gleam that caught the eye. The gleam came from j something metallic in the blu-1 ish clay. It was yellow. It was , shiny. I What was it? It must be gold. IT HAD TO BE GOLD. It just couldn't be anything else. When James Marshall spied a yellowish gleam in a lump of dirt and stooped in the ditch he was digging up above Sutter's Mill in the late spring of 1848 to pick up the stuff and RECOGNIZED IT AS GOLD, he waa no more thrilled than those two boys paddling around in the wet clay at the bottom of the Big Slough, as it was colloquially called back in the blue grass country. THEIR eyes shining, their hands shaking as they scrabbled in the clay, they picked out the lump of shin ing stuff and washed it off. It shone more brightly still when it was cleaned. They dug for mora. They FOUND more. It was reason ably abundant. In the course of a half hour of frantic dig ging they collected heap of it, maybe a foot high. In their excited imagina tions, it was WEALTH IN CALCULABLE. Visions danc ed before their eyes. Papa could hav a new buggy, with red wheels. Mama could have new dresses. The old house could be torn down and wonderful new one could be erected in It place. They were all rich. Rich as Croesus. NOTHING was too big to dream about. They took off their shirts and tied them at the bottom of the tails and into the sack thus provided they poured the lumps of won derful, shiny yellow stuff and headed for home, their feet hardly touching the ground. rpHEN J- The horrible shock of it 11. It wasn't real gold. It was FOOL'S GOLD-lron pyrites, a compound of iron and sul phur, found widely over the world and worthless except for the sulphur It contains. Their visions of sudden wealth collapsed like a house of cards when hit by the wind. Lit is full of tragedy.
