By RICHARD SALO
"When I saw the cat and dog
fights between the British and
German planes over the English
Channel in World War I, I
thought I'd never go up in an air-
plane."
But William Born, tool and die
maker in the Plant Department,
did go up in an airplane. He and
his wife flew back to their home-
land, Germany, this past summer
on the Airflight to Europe, spon-
sored by Student Government
Council.
Born, who has been with the
University since he emigrated 28
yers ago, said he "greatly appre-
ciarted" the work SGC did in
sponsoring this flight and he
hopes that they will continue to
sponsor sucli flights.
Enjoys Trip
Contrary to previous trepida-
tion, about such a flight, Born
felt that it was one of the unfor-
gettable experiences of the trip.
The chartered flight ended in
Amsterdam and from there the
Borns took a train to Braunsch-
weigen, Germany, where they vis-
ited Mrs. Born's sister. Leaving
his wife with her sister, Born then
proceeded to visit the few mem-
bers of his family still living.
In Westphalia, he me .his sis-
ter and brother. His sister had
traveled from the eastern zone to
visit him as he did ;not want to go
into 'that zone even though his
home town, Bresslau, was located
there. From what little he could
learn from his sister, who was
very reticent, to talk, Born said
that things were "quite bad" in
the eastern zone.
htays in Zone
Born's father stayed in 'the
eastern zone even after his moth-
er had died in the early years of
World War II. He was known to
be living in 1945, but no one had
heard of him since the Russians
moved in.
Born's brother had been taken
prisoner by the Russians during
the war and shipped to Russia. As
soon as he became too sick to
work, the Russians shipped him
back to Germany.
When he arrived his wife barely
recognized him as he had become
so emaciated. Though he had lost
70 per cent of his hearing, he did
pick up a part time job to help
maintain his family.
On a steam ship cruise up the
Rhine 'river from Frankford-on
Mein, Born saw what he termed
"the most beautiful countryside
in the world," the Rhine river
valley.

LANSING (A) - By mid-sum-
mer 1960, you'll be able to drive
from Detroit to Lake Michigan
along U.S.-12 withouttencounter-
ing an intersection, stop sign or
traffic light.
Highway Commissioner John C.
Mackie came up with this fore-
cast recently in disclosing details
of a gigantic, one-and-one-half-
billion dollar highway building
program.
U.S.-12 will be the first of a
system of four-lane limited access
highways to be opened to traffic,
Mackie said, giving the state its
first border-to-border s u p e r-
highway. All contracts on the
project should be let within a
year.
Plan Expressways
Other four-lane expressways
will run parallel to US-16 from
Detroit, around Lansing and
Grand Rapids to Muskegon, and

Germany since he emigated. Born came to the University 28 years

from the Ohio border near Lake
Erie, west of Detroit to Bay City,
west to Clare and north to the
Straits and Sault St. Marie.
All these are part of the inter-
state network of highways, with
nine-tenths to be paid for with
federal funds and one-tenth with
state revenues.
Portions of all three roads have
been built or are under construc-
tion.
State to Pay
The state will pay for the big-
gest share of the other four-lanes,
through bond issues and normal
revenues.
These include completion of a
limited access highway along U.S.
27 to Clare, Northwestern High-
way running from Detroit,to the
Fenton-Clio Expressway south of
Flint and a highway from Detroit
to Port Huron. -.

Cost of completion for U.
from Ann Arbor to the Inc
border will run to nearly $121
lion, Mackie estimated.
Estimate Cost
The Ohio-Soo Expressway
cost another $193 million.'M
declined to estimate its cor
tion date.
Ninety million dollars wi
spent to complete U.S.-16, w
should be ready for traffic in
than five years, he' said.
He described his program
five-year project, but str
that it promises only lettin
contracts on all projects by
1962. Completion may take ar
er year or 18 months, he sa:
Mackie did not rule out the
sibility of a toll turnpike, po
in Southeastern Michigan
running along a north-
route west of Detroit.

Alps offered Born the opportunity
to climb a. 2,000 meter mountain
with his niece." "We didnr't climb,
anything higher because I'm not
as young as I used to be and I
never was an experienced climb-
er."
"We Americans never know how
lucky we are." . As illustrations,
Born pointed out that the aver-
age German housewife still buys
her food on a day to day basis in
small amounts because she does
not have the money to buy in
quantities and has no means of"
storing her food for lengths of
time.
The average worker must work
for an hour in order to buy a
pound of meat and for two hours
to buy a pound of butter, though
colored .margarine is available.
Surprise Friends
All of his friends were sur-
prised to hear that in America
most people own their own homes
and cars. In Germany most fami-
lies live in apartments of three
rooms and share a small foreign
car with at least one other family.
Traveling by train most of the
time to'see'the country, Born no-
ticed that there was very little
idle land. The government is
helping the farmers to purchase
machinery to help produce more
food.
Strong nationalistic feelings

still persist in Germany as the
people want unification and are
strongly anti-communist. Speak-
Ing of Chancellor_ Konrad Ade-
nauer's recent re-election, Born
said that the workingman was
not completely in favor of Ade-
nauer because they wanted unifi-
cation fast.
Back Adenauer
They would probably want to
try it by force except they have
been labeled the aggressor twice
and don't want it to happezi
again. The older people, however,
backed Adenauer because they re-
alized that he would not make
undesirable concessions 'to the
Russians.
The strongest reason for unifi-
cation is to reunite families brok-
en up by the division of Germany.
A family .very close to Born was
split in this manner. The parents
are in the western zone, one
daughter is in the eastern zone,
another daughter is in the United
States and the son is with the
United States army in Korea.
Most Germans remember how.
the Russians pillaged Germany
after the war. Born's brother, for
example, was the owner of a large
farm before the war. In 1945,he
had to stand humbly by and
watch his machinery, the product
of a lifetime of work, be labeled
and crated for shipment into Rus-
sia, or Poland.
