Expropriates Ranch Os American Family Mexico Acts After Sale Is Rejected MEXICO CITY rupn— Mexico has invoked a 41-year-old constitutional provision to take the 650,-000-acre Cananea Ranch from the American family which has owned it for 57 years. An expropriation decree signed July 31 by President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines was published Thursday, when it appeared the ranch's owners would refuse a government offer amounting to about $4 an acre for the vast property straddling the U.S. border. William C. Greene Jr., son of the founder of the Cananea empire, was closeted Thursday night with his lawyers. He would not comment immediately on the Mexican seizure of the family property. The expropriation decree directs the Finance Department to set a value on the Cananea land and to | "pay it immediately in cash to the person or persons showing a right to it.” It provides the Agriculture Department shall take over the land and break it up into small ranches and farms “to satisfy the needs of landless peasants in Sonora State.” The Cananea Ranch was founded in 1901 by the late Col. William C. Greene. He acquired a tract of land extending along both sides of the border betwen Mxico and Arizona from Douglas almost to Nogais. Only the Mexican acreage is affected by the expropriation order. The land is semi-arid, usable for the most part only as cattle range. The Greenes now have about 37,000 beef cattle on the Mexican side of the line. The Constitution of 1917 forbade foreigners to own land within 62 miles of the border. Ruiz acted under this clause in ordering expropriation of the land, although it had not previously been invoked.

Freeland, 87, retired Methodist minister. roe Methodist church. A native of Miami county, he was a former superintendent of the Richmond and Wabash Methodist districts.

Speakman is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Speakman of route 6.) 42 rue Darwin Brussels 6, Belgium June 17, 1958. Dear Friends at Home, It Is a beautiful Tuesday morning here in Brussels. The sun is shining this morning and the birds are quite awake in the early morning and we are reminded that here too the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork. So much has happened since we left the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. Sailing was grand for the first three days but we hit stormy weather and had rough sailing for several days. Harry, Alice Jean, and Harry Jr. were pretty good sailors but I kept insisting upon feeding the fish those rough days. It was good to see the quiet peaceful shores of Ireland, the busy shore line of England, the modern port of France, and then on Sunday morning. May 11. the shores of Holland with its beautiful tulips and an occasional windmill much to the delight of the children. What a queer feeling it gave us to stand on the deck gazing at the people' crowding the pier waving, crying, and shouting greetings of welcome in various languages to their loved ones. We stood alone in a crowd, foreigners in a distant land, and I do mean alone. But the! nicest thing happened to us. Tma Jean Joyner, one of the girls studying here in Brussels under our Woman’s Dfvislbn came aboar<tlher’ Ryndam to meet us and to bring i us to our new home. She had come during the night by train and had slept in the station so she would be there when our boat docked in Rotterdam. ’Die love shown in Ima Jean’s coming to meet us was a foretaste of the wonderful fellowship with the missionary group here in Brussels.

Harry Jr. is having a fine time’ attending a French speaking jardin d’enfants or kindergarten with his! little missionary friend, Steven I Watson. Alice Jean will begin second grade at the International School in September. Harry and Li attended a language school six hours each week for the past month but now are studying under a very’ fine tutor. We will commence form- i al study in September but hope to; have a good head start by then Do remember to pray for us as we try to train our brains to think in French and bur tongues to speak, j It really gives me a helpless feel-1 ing to be unable to witness to even! ones .nearest neighbors. It puts a lot of motive into French study. We have laughed many times at funny little mistakes which we have made in grammar. Our first week here we kept saying ‘.‘Nous sorntn.es fini" or "we are finished,” to the Madame who gave us our breakfast at the pension where we were staying until our seventh floor ' apartment was vacated. After a week we discovered that we were really saying, "We are dead.” The proper expression is, “We have finished." So you see that we have quite an adventure ahead of us and need prayers as we study. With love’and—prayers, Harry, Estherjean, Alice Jean and Harry Jr. The Speakmans.
