Witness Meet Accents Family By BEN L. KAUFMAN Enquirer Religion Reporter The Divine Word district assembly at Riverfront Stadium is a family affair.

Although anyone walking through the assembled Jehovah's Winesses would think that most of them were youngsters from all the movement, "only" half of them are under 21. Some were still nursing, others were just old enough to be a bother, as their parents followed talks and tried to keep microphones up right as youngsters milled around and, head tangled tape counts by recorder Witness cords. attendants were accurate, that meant half the crowd of more than 24,000 was too young to vote when they arrived, (although the change in the voting age to 18 doesn't affect Witnesses whose beliefs keep them away from the polls.) The neat, clean-cut children and teen-agers were everywhere, emulating their parents in study or repose, or simply running around away from the seated crowds to avoid disturbing the Bible study that brought their families to Cincinnati for five days. Some of the teen-agers were among the thousands of volunteer workers but more were found in shaded seats and under beach umbrellas listening to messages that seemed aimed at youth and family relationships Thursday.

"Jehovah God is the true source of all Mr. Hilmo said from the shaded podium over second base, and "he has appointed for us a Great Teacher, his own Son, Christ Jesus." He warned that "children will not a naturally become disciples just because you parents are. They will not be followers of Jesus Christ you teach them that way." unless. before he spoke, a group of young people and adults seated on the flower-decked stage in the infield discussed what leads young people astray, how Witnesses can avoid temptation and by their actions, show others the folly of drugs and other damaging practices.

In the evening session, Denver A. Downard, supervisor of the 19 Cincinnati congregations and assistant director of the assembly, introduced the first of three staged dramas under the lights. His message denounced the "new morality" as a standard of conduct for Witnesses in today's sex-oriented society. He asked par- Injured Man Declines ents to keep talking with their youngsters and pointedly warned adults to avoid behavior "even on the borderline" of immorality as measured by biblical standards.
