Helsinki Impresses Visitor
“Finland, of the three Scandinavian countries I visited surprised me most,” writes Miss Lorraine Blow, in a letter to her parents in Christchurch “Instead of drab buildings as I had imagined, everything was bright and gay and very modern. In Helsinki I had a lovely meal served in buffet style just like we used to eat in Norway. Our tour of the city took us to Parliament House, which is extremely modem and much like a United Nations building, then to a modern church and then, the most exciting of all, the Olympic stadium, which is absolutely wonderful. A tower, nearly 100 metres high, is at the side of the stadium, and once up the top one has a wonderful view of Helsinki.”
Timaru Townswomen.—When the Timaru Townswomen’s Guild holds its twenty-first birthday celebration tomorrow, the Dominion president of the Federation of Townswomen’s Guilds (Mrs G. A. C. Plumridge) and the Dominion secretary (Mrs R. H. Smith) will attend from Christchurch.
