One of the special attractions for the members of the club will be a spit barbeque of 250 to 300 pounds of Beef July 28th. The first trailer rally was held in 1968 with about 20 trailers, following a stop - over in Whitby the year before by some trailer club members on their way to Expo '67. All rallies to date in Whitby have been Canadian Chapter rallies, with the 1973 event being the first of an international stature. The Streamline Royal Rovers Trailer Club consists of mostly retired persons with an average age of 60. Jehovah's witnesses from the, Whitby congregation will be attending their Divine Vic- tory International Assembly to be held at Woodbine Race Track, Toronto, July 25th to 29th. They will be joined by an estimated 30,000 del- egates from other Ontario communities, from North E- eastern United States and from countries such as Chile, Bra- zil, Nigeria, South Africa, West Germany, Britain, Jam- ica, Barbado, India, Japan and many, many more. This 'Divine Victory' In- ternational Assembly of Jeh- ovah's witnesses will be one of 30 such conventions held on this continent during the summer, from Halifax to P- anama. Mr. Lawrence Gray, Con- vention Manager, noted, "One of the main reasons for peo- ple so eagerly planning to attend these assemblies is to hear down - to - earth dis- cussions of the Bible and its answers to the many probl- ems facing mankind." He added, "even more vital, the program will be designed to encourage each one to with- stand the rapidly increasing pressures during this short remaining period before hu- man rulership, saddled as it is with world - wide unrest and the spectre of famine, is removed and replaced by a system of things ruled by mankind's Creator." The public is invited to attend al the sessions thr- oughout the five - day con- vention. A special invitation is being extended to ail to hear the main discourse, "D- ivine Victory - Its Meaning for Distressed Humanity." A very important feature of these assemblies will be their instructive content. F- our Bible dramas will high- light the application of Bible principles for our day. Preperations are well un- derway for the massive task of providing accommodations and food for the delegates. Volunteers from Whitby con- gregation will give freely of their time and talents to accomplish this great under- Jehovah'S Witnesses
