Original Toronto Star caption: Umbrellas blossom in the stands at Woodbine racetrack yesterday as rain pours down on the Divine Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses; some of whom came from as far away as Chile; Laos; Alaska; Hong Kong and Hawaii in order to learn; to gather with other Jehovah's Witnesses and to worship Jehovah God. Despite the weather; there was a generally festive air. No one was smoking and there were no beards; long hair or miniskirts to be seen there.
