HABER RECALLS TRIP-Rich-
ard A. Haber, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department, told
the Dover Rotary Club recently
about his trip last fall to Honduras
for an engineering company invited
by the World Bank to survey that
cOuntry's highway needs.
Mr.. Haber showed colored slides
of various state buildings, church
es, schools, and homes of the ma
tives of Honduras, also views of
rugged mountains, beautiful val
leys, agricultural land, and the
rather primitive type of roads
throughout the country.
Efforts that are being made by
the government of Honduras to
improve some of the main high
ways, he said.
Due TO the extremely poor con-
dition of the roads the Honduran
people resort to air travel as their
chief means of transportation, and
large numbers of small airplanes
are used in a manner very similar
to taxi service in other countries.
Mr.. Haber commented on the great
Skill with which the pilots operate
The small planes, and the apparent
limited space required for runways.
