One of the first sights D. Stew
art Patterson, executive secretary
of the Methodist Commission on
Chaplains recently returned from
a two-month trip overseas, saw
upon leaving his plane at Casa
blanca was a young woman, face
veiled in the tradition of her
religion and dressed in the cos
tune of her country, taking
driving lessons in a jeep.
Mr.. Patterson, who covered
II 900 miles while visiting Meth
odist armed forces chaplains in
England. France. Germany, Aus
tria and French Morocco, also
recounted the amusing incident
of the flustered chaplain who
was to introduce Mr.. Patterson
to a general.
The idea quite overwhelmed
him, to the point where he not
only forgot Mr.. Patterson's name,
but where he came from. So,
to cover the awkward pause, Mr..
Patterson introduced himself and
then introduced the chaplain.
The Methodist Church leader
illustrated how air travel has
brought the world closer to-
gether. He had tea in London
at 4 pm, dinner at Shannon,
Ireland; breakfast in New York,
and lunch at his home in Wash
