March 36. (Spl.) There win be considerable activity In the Ashland area this spring, ac cording to present Indications cen tered mainly around new construc tion and Improvement by the major oil companies In Ashland. Another definite development in the "service station" improvement campaign here was the receipt Mon day morning by local contractors of a call for bids on a 6000 Im provement and remodeling of the Union OH company station at Main and First streets. In addition to the construction of a super-service station on tne corner of Main and First streets, by the Standard OH company, the As sociated is considering a big con struction project. While the actual consummation of the deal cannot be verified. It la known that Mrs. E. D. Briggs. owner of the large vacant lot next to Schu erman's grocery, has signed and re turned to the oil company a lease, whereby the Associated Oil company would lease this lot for 10 years, for the purpose of constructing a modern super-service station there on, right alongside the station which the Stnndard Oil company Is to build. It la believed that the Associated company, as well as the Standard OH company, will within a short time be constructing new stations In the block between Pioneer and First on Main street. A third service station Improve ment Is contemplated by the Shell OH company, operators of the ser vice station at Second and Main, ac cording to authentic, but unverified reports. It Is understood that the Shell OH company contemplates the leasing of a portion of the resi dential lot next to its service sta tlon so as to increase the front and side footage, which will greatly im prove the station and rpsult tn con siderable work. A fourth service station project, which was officially announced Mon day morning is the Improvement of the Union OH company station a First and Main streets, directly op posite on First street the property which the Standard Oil company has purchased here. Rumor prevailed Monday that some major oil company was negotiating for the purchase of the buildings at the corner of Main and Third streets, with the Idea of construct ing a station thereon, although noth ing official could be ascertained rela tive to this. WASHINGTON. March US. (p) Former President Hoover was reported today to have told a friend here that he has "no aspirations" to he the Re publican candidate for pres'dent In 1936. "I have no aspirations n the di rection you mention, but I Intend to take a shot at what s going on on when I think the right moments have arrived." The date was several weeks prior to delivery of his message to Cali fornia Republicans, calling for milit ant action by hla party and assailing "regimentation" and "bureaucracy" under the Roosevelt adminlhtratlon. Old-line Republicans in Mr. Hoover' home state immediately rall'd him after that message as the logical can didate next year. 4 Speaking Sunday night at the local (Church of the Nazarene Fred M. Weatherford.. pastor-evangelist, used as his topic "Christ and Christian Living." In brief, ne said: "The practical point essential w I aU ethical Christian living may b-' , summed up in the Sennou ou the , Mount, a lound in the 5th, 6th ana 7th chapters of Matthew's gospel. , "The ideal in human living when ; uureached may be attributed to di- j vlded Interest, or a duplicity in the purpose of living. Duty tn Christian service, plus sincerity equals right eous reward; but an eye and an ear that signal for reward from men ib a commentary that registers static to spiritual profession. The moment one's ears are open to the praise or censure of men, they are closed to the approval of God. "Real Christ-likeness will enable one to restrain an uncherlshed Im pulse and not resign to it. In the Christian life many start out to fashion a martyr's crown, but the finished product is a fools cap. "Many fail because their eyes are set in two directions; in the direc tion of God, but too often and too critically they are set on the doings of their neighbors. "Christ laid down the flawless principle for Christian guidance when he said, "Therefore all things what soever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this la the law and the prophet.' "The bleeding need of the church today la back to Pentecost In spirit, Carnality in the believer, is the fundamental cross-grain that im pedes the progress of the church. Self-agrandizement, rather than es teeming others more than oneseu, is more the rule than the exception, The church needs the second sanc tifying blood test of Christ, to cru cify carnality and bring out the ethics of humility. The world is brought to Christ Just in proportion as the spirit of Christ Is manifested in sacrifice and service. The sacrifice one makes for the church and mankind, proves his devotion to Christ. The more unsel fish one la, the more useful he be comes to the kingdom of God."
