Leases and contracts for leasing land for the purpose of digging for gold or other minerals of whatever duration are required to be in writ ing under the statutes of North Generator-Starter and Regulator Rebuilding and Repairs Exide Batteries SANDLIN BATTERY VULCANIZING CO. 125 Craven Street Carolina. All other leases and contracts for leasing land “exceeding in dura tion three years from the making thereof” must be in writing in North Carolina. An oral lease, for example, executed today for a peri od not in excess of three years would be valid. Jones orally agrees during Octo ber, 1957, to lease his house to Smith for three years beginning January 1, 1958. Is the lease valid? No. Smith does not have a legal right to enter and occupy the house on January 1, 1958. The lease is for a period “exceeding in dura tion three years from the making thereof.” The computation is made from the time of the making of the agreement to lease, and not from the time of its going into effect.

Smith, enters the house and occupies it under the oral lease, he may be compelled to pay to the lessor, Jones, a reason able compensation for the use and occupation of the premises. The agreed rental under the oral lease will be received in evidence as the value of the use and occupation. Where one goes into possession of land under an oral lease “ex ceeding in duration three years from the making thereof,” his ten ancy at the inception is a tenancy at will. It may be terminated im mediately by the lessor making de mand for possession or by the les see relinquishing possession and informing the lessor that he is do ing such. An oral lease for a period in ex cess of three years frequently evolves into a lease from period to period.

Miss Smith Soon more requests than she could handle poured in from other sections of town and Janelle’s program was taken over by the Police Dept., PTA, Board of Edu cation and the City Recreation Committee. A special program on bicycle aafety was launched, which in cluded classroom instruction, oral and performance tests, a film on bicycle safety, and an S.O.S. (Safety on Streets) club with membership cards, letters stenciled on bike fenders and summer outings. At last count, there were 800 S.O.S. members. In Bellaire, Ohio, the Pilot Club, a group of business and profes sional women, appalled by the rising number of accidents involv ing child pedestrians, decided the community needed added safety instruction. They distributed several thou sand copies of safety books to the high schools, and sent coloring books on pedestrian safety to the grade schools. Literature was distributed to adults, safety posters put up, radio spots arranged for, and weekly good driving awards were given. To climax Hie program, the mayor proclaimed an “All Bellaire Safety Day”, and most citizens attended neighborhood safety meetings. lessor on a monthly basis.
