Eviction Cases
Increase Here
Eviction cases filed with the
area rent office have doubled in
number during tho past two
months, according to Marvin D.
Illxon, area rent representative.
which includes those cases of
sale of property and occupancy
by new owner. All notices of
eviction must be cleared by the
rent office before action to evict
can commence, illxon slated, and
the notices must state legal
grounds beforo such clearance
can be given.
In the case of sale of rental
property where a tenant is In
occupancy, tho waiting DcTlod In
this area is three months before
the tenant can be evicted for oc
cupancy by now owner, unless
the new owner Is a war veteran
and has need for more Immedi
ate occupancy, Hixon pointed
out.
Control of evictions Is an Im
portant phase of the rent control
program, illxon added, as un
warranted evictions can cause
undtio hardships to tenants if
allowed to occur. There are cer
tain grounds under which land
lords may evict tenants, namely,
delinquency in onylng legal
rents, and the violation of other
obligations of tenancy.

about school.
It Is honed
that through this committee
their troubles cun be taken care
of. Muriun Hayden was the
freshman added to the commit
tee which already consists of
Fred Reeves, Glen Lorenz and
Betty Crawford
It was also explained to the
student council members that
the constitution reads that there
shall be an assembly before
every important game and not
as It Is erroneously thought De
fore every game. It is up to the
assembly committee and me per
sons involved directly to decide
which ot the games warrant
semblies preceding them. How
ever, most of the district games
will be considered as meriting
un assembly.
Mosl of the freshmen feel
that there are not enough
dunces. Thoy want more activ
ity of this sort at noons, after
school and after the basketball
games. It is not up to the stu
dent council to decide on the
dunces us these are usually put
on by various clubs. There will
be a dance next Friday as
"Christmas present" to the kids
by the social committee.
Job's Installation Dance
The Job's Daughters are hold
ing a semi-formal dance the
night of December 20. The dance
will be given after the installa
tion of the officers of the group
Baldy's band will play for the
occasion.
The dance is not open to the
school, but each Job's Daughter
may ask another couple besides
her date. If any girls would
like to go, they should see a
member. Tho dance will be
given In honor of Sally Mueller,
who will be the next honored
queen.
Cnristmas seals
Instead of selling Christmas
seals at the schools this year,
the Klamath County Public
Health association asked the
students to pledge 10 cents or
more for seals for the preven
tion of tuberculosis. Each stu
dent who subscribed received a
red plastic double-barred cross
It s All Greek to Them
The Service - club Is looking
for a new name. The name it
has been using was PI Upsilon
Sigma. The faculty felt that this
name was too much like a fra
ternity or sorority name and
would prefer that the clubs not
be called by Greek names.
The Service club plans to In
vite different lodges to the bas
ketball games as the guests of
the club. Members of a certain
lodge will be invited to attend
a game and bring their wives.
The club is also placing pictures
of the basketball team in va
rious windows downtown to
help stimulate Interest in bas
ketball. And Incidentally
Don Stroud. Chuck Black-
stone, Patsy Tilton, Wes Robin-:
son and Shirley Dalton appear
ed on Pelicana last Tuesday.
Marie Wright sang a solo accom
panied by Pat Hambrick for the
program. Bob Mahoney played
boogie woogie on the piano.
The Teen-age club opened
Wednesday night after being
closed for about two weeks. The
club now has a new davenport
and matching chair and will
have another set soon.
