RENT LAW NOT
CHANGED HERE
Area Rent Director Emphas-
sises Protection Law Given
Tenant and Landlord
SOME CASES CITED

Congress left unchanged all pro-
visions of the Housing and Rent
Law pertaining to the protection
of tenants against unjust evictions
and of landlords against destruc-
tive tenants, Area Rent Director
Ralph Lord emphasizes. Let there
be no misunderstanding" Mr.. Lord
said. There is nothing in the law
that tells a landlord he may not
evict undesirable tenants. What
the law does is name the grounds
on which he legally may evict."
Either of two major actions must
be followed in legal evictions. They
are called Notice and Certificate
Actions. In the Notice Action, the
landlord must give the tenant a
proper notice of eviction, stating
the grounds on which action is
based and give the area Office
copy. If the notice is a proper one
and the tenant refuses to move, the
landlord may proceed in local court
to get a court order requiring the
eviction. In the Certificate type
case it means that the landlord
must obtain a certificate from the
rent Office which authorizes him
to start eviction proceedings
against the tenant. "But in any
event." the Area Rent Director en-
phasized, "A tenant living in q
dwelling under rent stabilization
cannot be evicted unless the ac-
commodation he is living in has
been properly registered at the
area rent office" The most usual
cases in which the notice action is
used are the following: The tenant
has failed to pay the rent when
due; he has committed a nuis-
ance; he has continued to violate
a substantial obligation of his
rental agreement even after being
asked in writing to stop; he has
used the property for illegal or inn
moral purposes; he has unreason-
ably refused the landlord access to
the property or his lease has ex-
pired and he has entirely sublet the
accommodation without the prior
approval of the landlord Grounds
on which certificates are granted
by the area rent Office are numer-
Gus. The most common are two

parent or child or he wishes sub
stantially to alter or improve the
property and this cannot practic-
ably be done with the tenant living
in it. OF course it is important to
bear in mind that if a landlord fails
to comply with the regulations and
unlawfully evicts tenant, he may
subject himself to a suit for dam
ages by the tenant. Landlord who
are not certain about the eviction
provisions, should not hesitate to
seek advise at the rent office locat-
ed at 203 Loockerman Street, Do
ver Delaware.

with completion of the building an
ticipated by early fall. There re-
mains, however, much work to be
done, including roads, walks, driv-

BAN
ON COMMERCE
Town Council Orders No Park
ing On North Side of Com
merce Street
RELIEVE TRAFFIC SNARL

No parking on the north side of
Commerce Street from Diamond
Supply to Main Street was put
into effect early Saturday morning,
as a result of decision of Town
Council on the previous night TO
restrict parking as a temporary
measure to expedite traffic, which
has increased so greatly as a re-
suit of opening of the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. The huge volume of
traffic continues daily and is now
moving freely. The town of Smyr-
ma has taken all steps during the
past week to improve the driving
conditions thru the town, as a re-
suit of the traffic jam on the first
weekend after the bridge was open.
Commerce Street, Smyrna, is the
main route from the Bay Bridge to
the DUPONT Parkway, Route 13.
During last week the State High
way Department filed depressions
in the block between Main Street
and Route 13 and placed route
signs at strategic points along
Commerce Street, all of which has
helped the situation. Chief of Po'
lice John w. Jacobs, Jr., said yes
terday that the traffic on Sunday
was greater than on the previous
Sunday, with an estimated 400
cars an hour moving along Com
merce Street, helped by the ade-
quate signs and the no parking re-
striction.
Reports on Various Matters
Mayor George r. Stevenson pre-
sided at the council meeting and
reports were heard on many mat
ters by Town Manager S. G, Mar
vel. who was authorized to adver-
tise for bids on the extension of
the six-inch water line from Ham
ilton Lane to Lake Drive. Mr.,
Marvel also reported that work on
the disposal plant plans is So per-
cent complete at this time. Dis
cussion was held on the proposed
revision of the town charter. A
joint meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation of the Smyrna Special
School District with Town Council
is scheduled for Friday, August %
Spraying of the town for mo-
squitoes and flies was deferred due
to rain and the project was carried
out yesterday morning. The Lad
les Auxiliary of the Citizens Hose
Company wrote letter of thanks
to council for use of the town park
on Market Street Plaza.

Passengers in New York City's
crowded Broadway subway have
been known to lift their heads
from tn cir newspapers at the
sound of haunting music Pedes-
TRANS on Manhattan's Morning
side Heights have stopped in their
tracks listening for strange pipes
above the traffic's roar. Even in
remote Wisconsin woods, country
jewellers have paused to wonder
if the plaintive notes they heard
emanated from the threats of
birds, or men. In all of these in
stances, the source of the music
has been a small, flute-like in
strument called the recorder.
ISraelis have adopted this 10TH
century instrument as their own,
naming it the halilit, and now, in
America, children and adults
alike are eagerly learning the
ways of the halilit-and of Israel.

weeks at The Jewish Theological
Seminary. In addition to playing
their halilit in ensemble. (instru-
ments are made for soprano, alto,
tenor and bass parts), the parti-
cipants actively share Jewish Gull
ture, and contribute to Israel by
sending whatever musical items
they are able to collect. They are
practicing for a concert which
will be recorded and sent to Is
rael for radio transmission.
The portability of the halilit is
responsible, in large measure, for
its increasing popularity. Stu
dents coming to halilit classes at
the Jewish Theological Seminary
are able to get in last-minute
practice during their subway ride.

The Pied Piper Of Jerusalem

Responsible for introducing the
instrument to this country is a
vivacious young Israeli, Miss
Ziporah Jochsberger, who arrived
in America with her halilit in
August, 1850, and has since
taught more than $50 Hebrew
teachers, college students and
children how to play Israeli
music.
This notwithstanding revival
of an almost forgotten instrument
has created body of enthusiasts
linking the great Jewish commu-
mites of Israel and America. The

ton has made the study of the
halilit an essential part of its

The kind of publicity given to
Key West by National Airlines is
revealed in this glowing press re-
lease which NAL has sent to travel
editors of newspapers throughout
the country.
The Citizen prints the release be-
low in its entirety:
Tapped by water shaded from
deep violet to pale green and as
clear as any that comes from a
tap, Key West. Fla. derives al
most its entire living from the sea:
from the Navy, tourists and com

ami, $50 miles or AZ minutes dis
tant by National Airlines (and Mi
ami is four hours from New York,
or three and a quarter from New
Orleans) ever one of the most see
mic air routes in the country. NAL,
operating three round-trips a day,
reports that pleasure travel to Key
West has been growing steadily in
both winter and summer, and that
a favorite way of sightseeing is
with an economical, convenient
rental car.
The presidential stamp Of APP

there has been no similar trouble
where Elizabeth street meets Tru-
