John Conway of Winchendon writes to correct the Michigan Catholic, which lately referred to Ireland as the "ould dart." This is a very common expression among the Irish in America when speaking affectionately yet humorously of Ireland. Father Conway says it should be "ould airt" from the Gaelicword aird. It will be seen how easily "ould airt" became corrupted into "ould dart.
