(Continued from page 1 TENNIS, TENNIS, TENNIS courts available for play and being equipped with lights they are on the go well into the night. The courts are now surrounded with new screen- ing and .with these excellent facilities the sport has shot ahead in the Village. Membership in the club come from all over the area and as far away as. Newton- ville. Beginners also have the opportunity of receiving in- structions on specific nights at the courts through the professional expertise. This part of the program has encourage many to join who otherwise would not bave. Tbe improvements at the Park courts resulted from a keen interest by adult mem- bers and assistance from the Orono Park Board. Its use this year certainly warrants the expenditure of some $5000 or $6000 in improvements. Mr. David Fields is chair- man of the club this year with memberships being handled by Mrs. Roy Sawyer. When plowmen from around the world arrive in Durham Region next year for the 1975 World Plowing Match they will not be faced with the sight of many rundown farms. In fact, the condition of the farms in the Region may surpass that of most other areas in Canada. Nearly 180 families have entered their farms or rural homes in the Farmstead Improvement Competition, being run by one of the sub-committees preparing for the International, Canadian and World Plowing matches being held on the Oshawa- Whitby border in September, 1974. Co-chairman of the sub-committee are Lynn Fair and Chas. Hadden. In all, 178 families have entered the competition -- 113 in section one, (Farmsteads where improvements can be made), 23 in section two (Rural homes on separated lots and in villages) and 42 in section three (Farmsteads already improved). Eugene Lemon of R.R.2, Stouffville is the judge. Scoring in sections one and two started on May 1 and Mr. Lemon has already visited many of the farms or rural homes. Section 3 will receive one inspection only and this will start on July 28, 1975 -- as will the final scoring on Sections one and two. Judging is based on several factors. For sections one and three, the scoring is the same. The visual impact of the apprôach to the farm is worth 200 points -- 60 for roads and fences, 60 for the entrance, 20 for the mailbox and farm name and 60 for the laneway to the buildings. The yard area around the house is also worth a total of 200 points - 50 for the lawn, 50 for the shade trees and windbreaks, 50 for flowers and 50 for fencing, hedge, walks, patios, etc. The house is wortþ 250 points.

Noting that much of the money for the municipalities qualifying for -1help under OHAP can go toward planning and engineering studeis, Mayor Rickard feels New- castle may gain the control over the direction housing development, it bas lacked in the past. He said the new program is "not just a case of building a number of new bouses," but building properly rounded groups of communities "witb their own identities and char- acter." In Newcastle's specific case the mayor said initial work under OHAP would concentr- ate in the areas of official plan ammendments, expansion and improvement of the sewer s'ystem. One useful effect of all this will be tbat the town can direct housing developnent so as to save as much agricultural land as possible, predicted mayor. Hle said too often develop- ment has taken whatever form the developers. brought to the, town, rather than the town having the means to take the initiative. Such control over the direct- ion of housing development Mayor Rickard envisages, may be one way to help overcome what he considers the rather unballanced trend in Newcastle's expansion. The mayor said the total commercial, agricultural and industrial assessment for the two montbs of April and May came to $372,000, while the residential ass.essment amounted to $2,114,000 hardly what he considered an exam- ple of ballanced development. Mayor Rickard felt that residential development would have to h in a relationship with commercial and industrial developmen» At the present time this ratio is about 1 to 40 and should be in the neighbourhood of 1 to 4. The Mayor also said that he hoped some of this planning could be completed so that some action could be taken in 1975. The planning would be of a nature to fit in with the overall official plan and be for individual communities. The Town of Newcastle is one of five communities in the region taking advantage of the provincial plan. S1 lý BROWN'S ýCHOOL A committee of the North- umberiland and Newcastle Board of Education presented to the last meeting e' Board a recommendaW,_ r the disposal fo someagg unused schools in tbe distrrct. The committee recommend ed that the New Democratic Party be asked to surrender their lease on the Old Lake- shore School in the south part of the former Clarke Town- ship. At the present time the NDP hold a lease for the use of the building for storage which continues until Decem- ber 31, 1978. It was also suggested that the school, Lakeshore along with the Port Granby School and Burketon schools be offered for sale as soon as possible. In the matter of the former Brown's School which is now used a a com'munity centre in the Brownsville area it was recommendéd that the pre- sent agreement be extended to September 30th, 1974. The community group now rents the building from the ,Board for community use with the hope, that tbey can purchase it as a community centre. The Board of Education is asking a sum of $19,000.00 for the buildi\g which amount the community group is endeav- ouring to raise through draws, bingos and other community veotures. The recommendations were accepted by the Board. Trentway Tours SPECIAL TO W.W.VA. Jamboree WIIEELING WEST VIRGINIA June 28 to 30 S11OW STARS Tom T. Hall FOR DETAILS CONTACT TRENTWAY TOURS LTD P.O.
