Lutheran Church were in-
vited to a special meeting of
Lutheran Church Women to
help celebrate the 70 years of
-Ladies' Organizations in the
congregation of St. Peter's
Lutheran Church on
Tuesday, October 10. 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."
Other changes in the con-
tract the teachers were
granted include an increase
in mileage allowance from
19° to 21.7° per mile, which is
equivalent to the school
board's rate.
Another change is an im-
proved monetary reim-
bursement for leaves of
absence from $33,000 to $34,-
000, a maximum yearly rate.

Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for
Colborne and Goderich
townships, and chairman of
the board's negotiating
team, said later the board is
"pleased" with the contract.
"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.

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.

mission study classes,
donated money and clothing
for relief work, and sent aid
to many missionaries. The
name of this organization
was changed to United
Lutheran Church Women in
1957. (U.L.C.W.)
The Ladies Aid and the
U.L.C.W. groups disbanded
in 1963 to form a new
organization called Lutheran
Church Women. This new
organization was the official
women's group of the
Lutheran Church in
America. L.C.W. combined
the purposes of the two
former Ladies' group in the
congregation. Today
members assist the mission
programs of the church, visit
sick and shut-in members,
beautify the Church with
flowers, make quilts for
relief work.
A birthday cake decorated

Ladies' organizations in the
congregation of St. Peter's
Lutheran Church and coffee
