Back From Visit
To Native Ireland

FIR. ]. McDermott arrived back
in Sidney Saturday from a three
months vacation spent mostly
with his people in Northern Ire
land. Leaving Sidney June IS, he
boarded the Northern Pacific fast
train at Glendive for New York
City and left from international
Airport there on June 18th on
the Flying Dutchman" for Shan
non Airport where he arrived
Tuesday, July Is. A happy re-
union with his family was held
at the airport.
FIR. McDermott spent June Wis
iting his home folks and friends
IN northern Ireland counties with
excellent weather for the pur-
pose. He visited Scotland in July
and went from there to southern
England and the London area
where he took in some places
of special interest.
To make these journeys the
more enjoyable in seeing every
thing of interest, when he arrived
IN Ireland he purchased a small
used a which on leaving to re-
turn to the United States and
Sidney he sold for only $4,000
less than he paid for it. Gasoline
over there is so cents a gallon
but that was equalized with the
cost here by getting 80 to 33
miles per gallon in driving where
Is to 20 miles per gallon is good
mileage for gasoline in Montana
for instance.
FIR. McDermott took in the In
ternational Horse Show in Dub
lin which is one of the big sum-
mel events over there and draws
visitors from all over the British
Isles. He toured Ireland extern
sively and met many high school
and college friends. He also met
many American tourists, mostly
from the eastern states, especially
in Dublin, Galway and Killar-
ney.
FIR. McDermott flew from Dub
lin to Lourdes, France where he
spent several days during which
time he said Mass each morning
in the Holy Rosary Basilica
which is within site of the Grot-
to, since a Catholic Shrine, where
the Virgin Mary appeared to a
13-year-old girl, Bernadette Sou
birous, in 1859.
The famous spring rising from
the spot is credited with miracu-
lous powers, and a church was
built in 1889 for accommodation
of pilgrims, of whom about
100000 visit the place annually.
The Basilica has three floor lev
els for their accommodation. The
trip by plane from Dublin to
Lourdes takes 2 hours and so
minutes, FIR. McDermott says.
FIR. McDermott left Shannon
Airport for the return trip to
New York on August 26, arriving
in Sidney Saturday, August 81.
He conducted the morning Mass
es in st. Philomena's church Sun
day. Americans encountered in
the countries he visited were al
ways eager to visit - in Ire
land particularly-and he enjoyed
that feature of his vacation, get
ling acquainted with so many
rom different parts of the Unit

He was reluctant to leave his fam
