Rent Ceilings
In Ejfect 'til
March 1949
Chapel Hill—Under the new
Housing and Rent Act of 1948, rent
controls will be continued in ef
fect through March 31, 1949, it
has been announced by Forrest A.
Pollard, local area rent director.
There is no automatic change
in rent ceilings and"for'most ten
ants their maximum rents under
the new law are the same as those
which were in effect on last June
30, with the following exceptions:
(1) where a landlord and tenant
have voluntarily entered into a
written lease increasing the rent
up to 15 per cent; (2) where the
local rent office has issued an in
dividual adjustment order chang
ing the rent, or (3) where the
Housing Expediter has approved a
general increase in the rent level in
portion of an area in response to
a recommendation of a local Rent
Advisory Board.
Tenants who have not signed
voluntary leases increases are pro
tected through March 31, 1949. The
new law gives landlords the right
to enter into new lease agreements
with tenants, at a maximum rent
which is no more than 15 per cent
above the original ceiling.
The law specifies that a tenant
may be evicted for the following
reasons: (1) if the landlord or a
member of his immediate family
wishes to occupy the quarters, (2)
I if the landlord has. contracted to
sell the place, (3) if the landlord
\yishes to demolish or alter the
structure, (4) if the landlord seeks
to withdraw from the,rental mar
ket, (5) if housing accommocm
tions were acquired by the St|pe
for temporary vje until the coh
st.rnrtirm of permanent building^
(6.) if a non-profit, religious, char
itable, or educational institution
owns the place and wishes to use
it for housing staff member^
No tenant may- be forced'to_ leave
until 60 days after he has received
a written eviction notice, unless.the
tenant has-wot paid the rent, is
violating the tenancy obligations,
or-is creating a nuisance. In.those
cases the time limit before eviction
is governed by local law.

I _
Loan Drive
Is" Opened
In Orange
Chapel Hill—“Because Russia is
j looking forward to our economic
collapse, we must show her our
economic solidarity and prove to
them’ we are backing our govern
ment,” said Security Loan officials
in opening Hie drive to promote the
sale of Series E, F, and G Bonds
which will continue through June
130:-.-—--1-:—
The Security Loan drive is the
first of these bond drives since the
war ended. The last drive, held
before World War II victory, was'
the Victory Loan. Orange Coun
ty’s quota for Series E bonds is
$195,000; and series E. F. and Q
quota combined is $310,000.
| Town officials for the Security
Loan drive are W. E. Thompson,
chairman of the men’s division;
Mrs. S. G. Leavitt, chairman of the
women's division; and Mrs. W. E.
Hamrick, vice-chairman of rural
districts in Orange County.
The only change in the 1948 Se
curity Loan drive Is that tax re
ductions and limit buying on Series
E. Savings Bonds have been raised
from $5,000 maturing value to $10,
000 maturing value. There is no
change in the manner in which the
holdings will he computed The
new provision simply doubles the
amount.
U. S. Savings Bonds are security
bonds. Individuals provide for
their own individual security when
they-invest in U- S. Savings Bonds,
and at the same time they help to
maintain the economic security of
our country. Funds reserved by
homes, education of their children,
millions of American families mean
emergency funds, and old age se
curity. They mean that millions
of American families are them
selves investors — “capitalists’*
guiding their own future and the
future of the Nation.
The Security Loan Drive, the
keynote of Which is “Retard In
flation,’’ is asking the assistance
of "bankers, civic clubs, industrial
ists, radio stat;ons, newspapers,
am? retailers im furthering -this
most important bond drive since
the war.
. Officials are requesting that
every citizen buy at least "one bond
each month. - “The U. S. will have
to be strong financially—individu
ally and in the government. We
must hold inflation down so that
our 'money will mean something.
The idea now is to get everyone to
refrain from buying and spending,
purchase security bonds and there
by invest money for their own se
curity,” said Security Loan offi
cials at a recent State meeting in
* Raleigh ‘ to regional and county
Loan chairmen.

Community Athletic Council
By JACK De VO RE
Among .the group of civic or
ganizations in the town of Chapel
Hill is one that has done a fine
job of. improving the Softool life, of
the boys and girls attending the
public High School. This organ
ization is called the Community
Athletic Council.
The council was organized in
1943 for the express purpose of
supplying the High School with
badly needed athletic equipment
-and for promoting athletic con
tests,' free of charge, between the
Chapel Hill High School and high
schools of other towns through
out the State. Before the coun
cil was established, the High
School could obtain only second,
-hand athletic equipment from the
University. As was natural,
Chapel Hill being a University
town, there was partiality shpwn
to the' University itself, and the|
High School was left pretty much
alone, as regards donations and
appropriations. Now, however,
athletic council- acts; primarily . as
the financing agent for the school
by slpplementing the funds do
nated by the University and other
organizations.
Twelve members make up the
athletic council, six from the Ki
wanis Club and-six Jrom the Ro
tary -Club. The chairman of the
council is appointed by the presi
dent of either club; that is, the
chairmanship alternates annually
between the two clubs. The-Xhair
man serves one year and im
mediately upon taking office ap
tin* utlwff" ; The of
ficers work on a wdiinteer basis
and the council itself is a non
profit organization.
Although originally organized
primarily for the purpose of sup
plying the high school athletic de
partment with money for buying
equipment, the Community Ath
letic Council at the present time
also aids the intramural and var
sity. The Community (.'enter and
Negro schools also receive aid.
The major portion of the funds
which the council receives to give
to the High School comes from
the sale of banners^ flags, Tar
Heel pins, etc., at the University
home games. These funds are j
not the total amount that goes to
the school. They merely supple-,
ment the donations of the Uni j
versity, „ business men and, the
American Legion.
Besides aiding the High School
in acquiring equipment for all the
major sports, as well as for gen
eral athletics, the Sthletic council
gives banquets for visiting High
School teams -and also interests
itself with helping to pay medi
cal expenses. . . * ...
- Mr. V.-'Z; Cannon is new the
chairman of the council, having
succeeded Mr. T. B Creel in the
position. Mr. C. M. Oakley is the
secretary and Mr. James Davis is
the ’present treasurer. There are
about four meetings per year,
either' at the Carolina Inn or some
other location specifically desig.
nated. . . ■
True, the Community Athletic
Council was organized for a fine
cause and' that cause is reaping
dividends. For the people with
civic pride a wonderful future
can be seen for this organization
which evolved from a small group
of interested citizens five years
ago.
