Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The union jack was used for the dress and the umbrella of a woman in the Orange Day parade; which 10;000 persons watched Saturday. Not all of them seemed aware of the parade's historical meaning; an Anglican churchman says it's just as well the parade no longer has the divisive religious significance it once had.
