A short time later this group be- came known as the Oshawa Weavers' Guild. The Guild has members not only from Oshawa but also from Wl itby, Ajax and Brooklin. The meetings are held in the members' homes on the evening of the third Monday of each month. Artitles woven by the members are displayed and weaving techniques and materiais discussed, at each meeting. At the January meeting the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Hans Geissberg- er, RR 1, Hampton; vice-presi- dent, Miss Mary McLean, 123 Elgin street east, Oshawa; secre- tary, Mrs. M.

Last February the Guild mem- bers heard of the different crafts being carried on in Labrador and Newfoundland by Miss Mary An- drews who is Craft Supervisor at Grenfell Mission, St. Anthony, Newfoundland. Films showing the construction of looms and weaving done on them were viewed at the March meeting and in April, Mrs. Cor- bett of Georgetown gave a dem- gustration of Huckaback weav- g. Last May several members participated ina Weavers' Con- ference held at London and at- tended the London District Weav- ers' Sixth Annual Exhibition.

The November meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. M. W. Perkin on November 17. Anyone interested in weaving will be warmly weleomed to our guild. Women Teachers' Association Maintains Professional Status The Oshawa Women Teachers' Association is one of 128 groups throughout Ontario banded to- gether in the Federation of Wom- en Teachers' Association of On- tario with an over all member- ship of more than 19,000 public school women teachers. Throughout the year, commit- tees study questions such as teacher education and -certifica- tion, superannuations, status, leg- islation, educational research and educational finance. Delegates are sent three times a year, to conferences with wom- en teachers from other parts of the province to discuss and plan Federation policy. Last year one of the highlights of Association activities was the holding of the Regional Assembly in Oshawa in May. At that time delegates from Region 4, which extends from Oshawa to the Que- bec border, gathered in Oshawa for an all day convention. At the dinner, delegates had the privil- eges of seeing General Motors' 'Preview of Progress." FWTAO provides bursaries for students entering Teachers' Col- lege. Christmas gifts in the form of cheques are given to teachers who are here on exchange. Help in the form of loans or grants is provided for members in need of financial assistance.
