The Indians downed Camden 8 to 4 in a game last Friday night, Reeves was on the mound for the local out fit and allowed four hits, striking out nine Camden batters. Camden took a one to nothing lead in the fourth, but the Indians tallied three runs in the sixth, two in the seventh and three more in the eighth. In a rained-out game, played on the Edenton diamond last Saturday night Moe Bauer out-pitched Edenfon's Jor dan in a one-to-nothing duel.

In adition to cash donations, an auction sale was conducted, prior to the Edenton game Wednesday night, which increased the origninal sum considerably. The items auctioned off by F. T. "Mathews, were donated by the merchants of Hertford. It was pointed out by the manage ment of the baseball club that the club's Anances were in good condition and gate receipts at the local games were more than paying the club s ex penses, however, the addition of two new players to help Hertford stay in the lead of the league, added to the expenses and the contributions col lected is expected to help defray this extra outlay.

Continuing to discuss the revival of rent control, Mr. Holmes said, "If your landlord actually collected rent in excess of OPA ceiling for month of July, 1946, the tenant cannot se cure a refund of the excess rent paid for July. However, for August and thereafter, so long as the Regulation remains in force in this area, the landlord is entitled to receive only the OPA ceiling rent. "Again, if your landlord has noti fied you of an increase effective Aug ust 1, 1946, the notice is void and the tenant should pay only the ceiling rent. "If you have had an eviction notice served on you, or ejectment proceed ings have been commenced against you, check with our office to make sure the proposed action is in ac cordance with the Federal Rent Reg ulation. "Adjustments in maximum rents of various accommodations are still available on grounds set out in the Regulation, on petition. No increase may be authorized except on written petition and order, and no tenant should pay an increased rent until he has received a copy of the order Kr"""B . ule ",cre"a.e; The Area Rent Office is located for the present in the Price Control Board office, 605 East Main Street, Elizabeth City, until permanent quar ters can be secured. Our records of registrations, petitions, etc., appear to have come through the fire in the Kramer Building in excellent condi tion. We will be short of forms however, for a few days." Mr. Holmes is at the Court House every Thursday afternoon to answer any questions and see landlords and tenants about their rent problems in so far as they are affected by the Federal Rent Regulation.
