Stolt said that schools only teach
sports in physical education
classes “They are played just for
fun and to learn the games All
other sports and teams are not a
part of the school system ”
A Lions Club member asked
what Stolt found different about
people in the states, and she re
plied, "There are little differences,
but after all, they are all the same ”
Stolt told the club that the first
Lions Club began in Finland in 1950
in Helsinki.
"There are 900 Lions Clubs today,
with 2,900 members, of which 1,600
are women,” Stolt said. She said in
Finland, the Lions Clubs support
military veterans, senior citizens,
students, sports clubs, and foster
child programs
She noted that December is a big
month in Finland, because, along
with Christmas, the Finish people
celebrate Independence Day on
Dec. 6, with a large celebration
similar to a combination of the
United States' Fburth of July and
Veterans Day
Stolt said that the Lions Clubs in Fin-
land raise funds in many different ways,
such as having arts and crafts sales,
concerts, and fashion shows.
When asked if she had a choice
of where she wanted to travel, she
chose the United States over Japan
or India, feeling that it would be
easier for her to get along in the
states She arrived in New York
with 50 other students who were
then sent out all over the U S and
Canada
Since coming to Clifton, Stolt has
stayed with the families of Jerry
Smith, Tbm Henderson, and Jerry
Cash
Bro Jerry Smith spoke briefly,
saying how much he and his family
had enjoyed her visit with them,
and highlighted some of the “typi
cal” Texas happenings she was ex
posed to.
“She got to kill a snake, photo
graph the largest spider in Texas
(the tarantula), take her first horse
back ride here, and visit the Texas
Rangers Museum and the suspen
sion bridge," Smith said “She, a
Lutheran, also spent a weekend in
San Antonio with 10,000 Baptists.”
The Hendersons took her to visit
Ray Murski’s ranch north of Merid
ian where she was introduced to
the abundance of Texas wildlife
They also visited shopping malls in
Waco, the Bosque Memorial Mu
seum, Hurricane Harbor water
park in the Metroplex, and took in
a little league game at Hubbard
With the Cash family, Stolt visited
Austin and toured the capital and
also visited the LBJ Library.
Stolt will spend her last two
weeks in the United States staying
with a family in Kerrville and visit
ing the Tbxas Lions Camp
