.4OmefrOrn Fire

| The Reverend Father John o.
Malley returned last Thursday af-
ter visiting in Ireland, England,
Scotland, and Wales.
Father O'Malley sailed from New
York April % and reached Cobb,
Ireland, May 4. During the trip
over he conducted mass daily on
the boat. Five hundred passengers
attended, many of whom were non
Catholic. Music was provided for
the services by the ships orchestra
who volunteered to play each morn
ing.
In Ireland, the Libby Pastors
boyhood home, he visited a broth
er and three sisters. When asked
if the country had changed much
since he left there, Father O'Malley
replied that many of the little towns
had become cities. The school sys-
tenn too has been modernized and
long rambling one-story school
buildings constructed. He especially
noted the abundance of motor traf-
fic. Anyone ordering a new car
can expect its delivery in week.
All American makes are available;
however gasoline costs approx
mately Csc a gallon.
One of the twenty-four Ameri-
cans, representing eighteen states,
who chartered a plane for a four
day tour of England, Wales, and
Scotland, he told how conditions
differed between Free Ireland and
these countries. Nearly all items
are strictly rationed, and though the
food is ample to prevent starvation,
it would doubtless not satisfy the
American palate. There is very little
motor traffic in England outside of
buses due to the rationing of gaso-
line and cars. However the coun-
try is rapidly recovering from the
raVages of war Bombed cities are
being built up, and London espec- |
tally has had most of the traces of
war removed.
When asked regarding the wealth |
er, Father O'Malley said that there
had been only few weeks of sunny |
weather in Ireland, for the most |
part the season has been cold. It's
he same sort of freak summer. he
as you have had here.
Father O'Malley arrived in New |
York July 16. There he said mass
It the Holy Trinity Church in Mar
narneck. He also said mass before
700 worshippers at the Resurrec-
ion Church on Jackson boulevard
n Chicago.
