it is often impossible to do any
more than make temporary
make -shift repairs.
One important task that can
be done now is the clearing
main bitches of brush and silt.
When this is done in the fall the
earth has a chance to settle be-
fore spring. Another job is the
building up of dykes which are
broken or too low or that they
will have plenty of freeboard.
Also headgates, culverts, check
dams and drop structures should
be put in good repair.
Bingham also points out that
the ,evelling out of spillways
will go far in avoiding serious
erosion trouble. A wide level
spillway is the best insurance
for any earth dam. When the
dam is empty in the fall is also
a good time to repair rip-rap-

Mexican Lund Changes

President Avila Camachos con-
servative administration in Mexico
City is wasting no time in launching
its program for the consolidation of
internal security in Mexico. One of
it's most important, and most inter-
esting, features is the decision to
break up the communal land hold
ings-the famous "ejidos"-into in
dividual titles held by the farmers
working the land.
This is by no means retrogression
to what Mexico once had, but the
introduction into that countrys
politico-economic system of a new
element-the individual possession
Of land, an ancient prescription
for social alienation. When the
peasants of Russia became too
clamorous against their feudal sys-
tenn in the nineteenth century they
were given the right-and opportu-
nity-to become individual land
holders. The Russian peasant was
strong Revolutionary force
in the days of 1917, when the Bolshe-
vik revolution was developing.
Under President Lazaro Cardenas
Mexico carried the land program
established in the constitution in
1917-farther than it had been car
ried during the administrations of
all his predecessors. Far more acre
age was appropriated during the past
six years than during all the preced-
ing seventeen years. But the land
did not 60 directly to individual
peasant families. 1t became COM
munal and was worked by the
"ejidos," or agricultural communal
groups.
Out of this communal establish
ment came many problems which
the Cardenas administration never.
solved. First of all, of course, was
the threat such an economic system
held for the democratic system, not
only in Mexico, but in other Western
Hemisphere nations. There were
problems of financing, the farmers
lack of diligence in their work and
the problem of profitable operation
of the communal farms. Most dis
tressing was the disinterest of the
farm worker either in the land he
worked or the product of the land.
At time when the government is
striving to consolidate the internal
strength of Mexico against aggres-
sors from without and against in
surgents within, the agrarian land
program may have the effect of
undermining at least one large
radical political faction-the COM
munal peasants-and of converting
them into a powerful force for sta
bility.

Celestial BIitzkrieo?

Prophecies of an eventual dooms-
day of fire for mankind might only
have amused skeptics a few years
ago. Today, owing to the most recent
discoveries of astronomers, there is
reason to fear that it is not very
remote possibility-that 1t might
even happen in the lifetime of this
generation. Here is the picture:
The sun is an average star in
conglomeration Of about $4,000, 100000
which make up the Milky Way
galaxy. Every year Is or 80 of these
explode. The galaxy has been in
existence about 2,000,000,0 years.
The sun has not yet exploded. Per-
haps it never will. Perhaps 1t is not
that kind of star that explodes. The
astronomers do not know. If it does,
life on earth will be wiped out in
somewhat less than ninety seconds
the time it would require for the tide
of fire to cross the intervening space
and engulf this planet. This would
be celestial blitzkrieg that would
end all blitzkriegs.

MARYLAND Rouds

After the most comprehensive
highway planning survey ever made
in the State, the Maryland State
Roads Commission, in a report to
the Governor, proposes 2O-year
improvement and construction pro-
gram which would cost eventually
nearly 100000. AS an alterna-
tive, five-year plan is outlined, to
cost $55,OOO,0OO.
Under the longer program $33,OOO,-
600 would be spent on highways near
Washington and $56,OOO,OOO would
provide for modernization of roads
involved in defense plans. 1t en-
visions early reconstruction of Balti-
more boulevard as dual-lane route.
The total length of all roads in the
program is 268 miles. In addition,
25S miles of broad, heavy-duty high
ways would be built, 500 existing
bridges would be widened or replaced
and 18 grade crossings would be
eliminated.
Twenty years is long time to look
ahead. Two decades ago roads were
planned only by rule of thumb, with
few precedents upon which to base
estimates Of future congestion. The
Maryland survey, however, is predi-
Gated on an estimated increase of
200 per cent in traffic density. 1t

revision of motor vehicle revenue

funds and ALLEGATION of appropria-

need, rather than on the amount of
taxes paid by various Jurisdictions.
This would permit a larger amount

On the whole, although many

A landmark Is defined as "a fixed OBJ
ject serving as boundary mark or as
q prominent and memorable object on
the landscape" However we may define
it, 1t is notable and distinguishing mark
suggestive of an experience from which
new departure was made. An epochal
experience. a history making event,
new turn in the tide of human affairs,
these constitute landmarks. From them
we date the great transitions in life.
In the cid Book of Proverbs the wise
man gives this admonition: Remove not
the ancient landmark which thy fathers
have set up" He doubtless was think
ing CT some epochal, stirring event or
experience, some object that stood out In
the life of his people, giving to them q
new sense OF purpose, clearer under
standing of their objective. Range
finders Of history" the student OF events
calls these stirring happenings in the
lives Of nations and peoples. They con-
stitute the landmarks upon which the
reckonings OF progress or decline are
made.
AS people we Of America have been
rather careless of or Indifferent to these
guides of the past We think of them in
terms of "horse- -and-buggy days" of in
cidents in our life utterly removed from
the hurried pace Of this modern, swiftly
moving, enterprising era. The timetables
OF life do change, along with customs
and the usages and fashions of modern
world, hence the old landmarks or range
finders rapidly become obsolete. Such is
the reasoning that too often character
izes the opinions and judgments Of new
and buoyant age. At times it would seem
dangerous and unwise to contend against
such judgments lest we be forced out Of
step with the modern and more progress
sive spirit. Despite this, soberer judg-
ment compels us to affirm that there
are landmarks in our life from which
1t Is perilous to depart. However meth
DDS and customs may change, there are
certain basic and fundamental princi-
pals that are indispensable to our con-
tinuing security. Our fathers realized
this and while their ways and habits
differed widely from those we recognize
today, they believed that there were deep
and unchanging principles of life that
must always accompany progress and all
true development. They saw the follies

to be- They anticipated in an amazing
way what was to be, they were seers anc

that here In this far-fung Western
world they were building that which
should endure.
Any study of their course makes evi-
dent their purpose to erect here a Ma
ton founded on righteousness, secured
by wholesome practices, that in time Of
stress and strain would keep their coun-

knew that strange and alien doctrines
would seek footing here, hence they
warned those of the future to be diligent
and strong to resist any subversive and
evil influences. Righteousness was the
first landmark they set up and to its deep
teachings they assiduously applied
themselves. This was to be at all times
the range-fnder by which safe course
was to be charted.
We must be solemnly reminded OF this
today. We recognize it on our coins and
boldly affirm that I'm God we trust. "
This must be more than legend, 1t must

our acts, in all our declared purposes. 1t

We have task at home that calls for
the buttressing of our institutions and
if we are true to our heritage, we shall
speedily address ourselves to that which
constitutes our real wealth and power,
bringing our ways and practices into
consonance with that course of life that
is righteous Not until we have gone
back to this landmark which our fathers
set up, shall we be fit to face and over
come the conspiring forces of evil, that
today are leagued to destroy our most
cherished institutions. America needs

all the ways and practices Of her life.
Moral and religious decadence is the sure
precursor of nations decline.
