The main feature of the fine new sports stadium, built at Helsingfors, for the 1940 Olympic Games, is a high tower, strangely reminiscent of the one at the Glasgow Exhibition. It is a wonderful landmark, being visible from a great distance. The Committee appointed to deal with the games. in Finland have decided that the stadium is not large enough and plans are already in hand for enlarging it. A great deal of the money for the stadium has been raised in curious ways. Various articles have been manufactured such as sports shoes, shirts, condensed milk, etc., labelled "Stadium" and profits have gone to the stadium fund. The whole Finnish nation therefore feel they have helped. Photo shows-A view of the Olympic Stadium at Helsingfors, showing the Tower which is the main feature. (Copyright, Fox).
