    Evergreen to Start
Regular Schedule
To Jacksonville
Evergreen Bu Linea, Inc.,
will run buses between Med
ford and Jacksonville on a
regularly scheduled basil
starting tomorrow morning.
L. R. Pitcher, manager of
the line, said final approval
for 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 S o'clock daily.
They will arrive in Jackson
ville on the half hour.
There will be a total of five
trips to Jacksonville and six
trips from Jacksonville, Pil
cher pointed out.
Changes Made
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 are break
ing even. If they can show a
profit on the Jacksonville run
then the company will be 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 St.,
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 st.
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
one 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 3:45 o'clock
daily.
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 body of Alvin H.
Streety, 52, of Dallas, was
found 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 searching for
FOOL'S GOLD (iron pyites).
AH, me! What memories that
hrinm fin.
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
aa it squlggled up between
bare toes.
The warm spring 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.

THEN
Suddenly
The gleam that caught the
eye. The gleam came from
something metallic in the blu
ish clay. It was yellow. It was
shiny.
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. j
THEIR eyes shining, their
hands shaking as they
scrabbled in the clay, theyj
picked out the lump of shin
ing stuff and washed it on. it
shone more brightly still
when It waa cleaned.
They dug for more. They
FOUND more. It was reason
ably abundant. In the course
of a half hour of frantic dig
ging they collected a 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 have a new buggy, with
red wheels. Mama could have
new dresses. The old house
could be torn down and a
wonderful new one could be
erected in its place.
They were all rich. Rich as
Croesus. NOTHING was too
big to dream about. They took
off their ahirts and tied them
at the bottom of the tails and
into the sack thus provided
they poured the lumps of won-1
derful. shiny yellow stuff and
headed for home, their feet
hardly touching the ground.
THEN
The horrible shock of it all.
It wasn't real fold. 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 card
