Mrs. Jack Turkheim, President welcomed the ladies and conducted opening devotions, Mrs. Margaret Deichert reviewed the Women's Organizations of the Church. The Ladies' Aid was the first women's group which was formed in July, 1908 by Pastor Maas, Pastor of the congregation. Purposes of the new organization was that members grow Ladies Aid spiritually, assist in the work of the congregation, and to practise charity.. Ladies' Aid members spent many happy hours working at the Church and Parsonage during the 55 years of their existence as a group. The. Women's Missionary Society (W.M.S.) was for- med in September 1932, when Pastor Turkheim was pastor of the congregation. This group of women was interested in the mission work of the Church. Members held Board, elementary teachers settle The Huron County Board of Education ratified Mon- day in Clinton a one-year contract, awarding its 365 elementary teachers and principals a total wage in- crease of 8.97 per cent in- cluding increments for ex- perience and qualifications. Under the new pact, teachers will now earn a minimum of $10,504 to a maximum of $26,730. An average teacher's salary will be $20,811, up from $19,- 178 in the previous contract that expired Aug. 31. The 24 principals received a flat raise of $1,385, which is a five per cent increase. The highest wage for a prin- cipal in Huron is now $32,- 435. Vice -principals are paid on the teachers grid plus a responsibility allowance which remains the same as last year from $2,800 to $3,- 400. The total wage package will cost the Huron County board of education $7,600,131 compared with $7,003,748 last year, a 8.52 per cent in- crease. The teachers, members of the Huron branch of the On- tario Public School Men Teachers Federation and the Federation of Women Teachers Association of On- tario, ratified the pact last week. Ron Ritchie, chief negotiator for the teachers said earlier the contract is "fair."

"To be honest it is more than we had hoped to settle for .. , but because of the ar- bitration ruling we felt we had to be fair with the other panels," she said. A provincial arbitrator awarded the secondary teachers in the county a 6.75 per cent increase for 1978-79. In other business, Mrs. Hazlitt suggested a letter from Education Minister Betty Stephenson, outlining the governments anti- inflation program be sent to arbitrators rather than to school boards. "Clearly, it is of the ut- most importance that ar- bitrators, in making their awards, adhere not only to the principles of fair com- pensation but also to the necessity for general economic restraint in the post -controls period," read Mrs. Hazlitt from the minister's letter. "All I know is that last year our allotments (grants) were down considerably and yet our costs were fixed by the arbitrator," she said later, adding that the gap between grants and salaries has to be passed on the local taxpayer. CO.OP Mrs. Hazlitt also suggested a copy of the letter be sent to the various teachers' federations and the provincial education relations commissions, which oversees teachers' negotiations.
