The land division cemmitte has given Mr'. Leland Payne of Newton- ville a separation of two and one hlaf acres frum is 85 acre farm in the liamlet of New- tonville. Mr. Payne carnies on a cattle eperation at Newton- ville farmi where lie keeps some fîfty liead. Most of tihe feed comes~ from another property in the area. Mr. Payne alseoperates a construction contracting operatien. The owner wishes te separ- ate lis home and one 'of hîs daughters from the farm and, then sell the farm. The planning and develop- ment commîttee is afraid that, because his landi is puer quality for farlning, if heŽ separates and seils it a developer will buy it Up and put in a subdivision. "We weuld be creating a saleable piece ef land, un which a proposed plan of subdivision already exists," said Ceun. Mike Breaugh (Oshawa). A potential buyer for Mr. Payne's fanm admits that he would like to build lieuses on it. If the Ontario Municipal Board upholds the committee decision it will mean Mr. Payne will not be able te seli lis farm unless lie aise gives up the home lie has lived in for 35 years. .iiFFOR!S 0F NMAN PRO VIDES SKIING .Althougîïtemeatherifman has ntc-prtdw able teenjoy thein sport at the Oshawa Ski club tlruugh tlie ýfferts of maii-made snow oin at least two of the major mois gt the hlLI Skiing opened prier te Christmias and is stilîl in op)eratien.'
