Just about everyone was pleased with, the delightfdl program presented by thfe string ensemble which ^ah best be described as a vari show. A classical concert; wdsn’t! The sophisticated “high brow” could find a lot to criticize and other than that, nobody liked the pro gram but the people. ' The twenty young musicians assembled by Mr. Clebanoff were mostly from the Los An geles area and double in the oif-season as school teachers and dance combo members.. The nine attractive women made the group pleasapt to the eye as well as the ear. Mr. Clebanoff emplayed ah unorthodox style of conduct ing; very symmetrical, but not conspicuous. The first half was all strings and opened with Bach’s “Pre- ludio in E major for Eight Solo Violins”, a piece in which all the violins played the solo part to the accompaniment of the muted lower string instru ments. Antonio Vivaldi’s “Concer to ih B Flat major for violin and Strings” featured Mr. Cebanoff as soloist, a number with a great Allegro move ment, a somewhat thin and tiresome And Ante, and rhpid Allegro Molto in which the oloist used a lot of double ;ops and the solo melody ech oed by the accompaniment. Mozart’s Symphony was more or less “so-so” until the second movement which was somber in character, yet as light as a feather. TJie Presto movement called for as much precision as any of Bach’s enchanting counterpoint. Turina’s “The Prayer of a Toreador” could best be call ed a fantasia employing heav- ily-Tnuted cellos. Tschaikow- sky’s VVajtz from “The Sere nade for Strings” was like meeting an old friend. R was unusual to hear it played by all strings for a change and one missed the full orchestra; but it, too, was delightful'and had a happy ending. The first half was concluded with Shos takovich’s “Scherzo” — a real “war-horse” of a piece—very Russian,, featuring a cello so lo and heavy dissonances and sounded like A telephone ring ing while one is in the bath- hib. The second half was com pletely different. The main at traction was a large stereo phonic amplification system that helped the twenty music ians sound like a hundred, in addition to the strings the en semble now included ah Ac cordion, a harp, a piano and a percussion section as large as the rest of the orchestra put together. And although the drums, etc. sometimes ov erpowered the strings, people liked it. “Millionaire’s jioedown” featured drummer Marvin Un iman on the washboard. Such numbers as the Clebanoff “Hootenanny” revealed the great personality d! the Cleba noff Strings plus a sense of humor, and conveyed t)ie im-' pression that here is a group of young people having a good time. The Clinton audience enjoy ed Clebanoff’s version of “Three Coins in the Fountain” played in more of a Parisian style with the piano creat ing sound like that of running water. “Swingin’ Sweethearts” was - & C*-Thursday, Marcli 2,1967, a novel number with accordian Lutheran Aeitlvlties solo and, “Golden Earrings” was a Gypsy violin type-oL thing. f « The climax of the second half was a demonstration of the unusual stereo equipment in “Stereo Pizzicato”; it wOs loud and can best be describ ed as Spike Jones gone classi cal. During Ihe harp solo, “Clair de lune” the rest rested, and the the scene while the crime 1/as being committed (many in the audience wished they could have too). But anyway the audience got the idea that “Clair de lune” ctould be play ed on the harp and they were l^Opt ih suspense throughout the number wondering if the harpist’s bench was going to hold together. It did. The program ended with “Hava Nagila” — a great sound and the small orchestra sounded even larger. Three encores “More’’ from the mo vie MOttdo Carte, “Zorbo, the Greek” and two Beatle mel odies, “Yesterday” and “We Shall” proved that this age can create a melody if you look for it. All-in All, The Clebahoff Strings gave an enjoyable pro- grain and if more of the citi zens of this fair community had really known what the concert was not all chamber music, Bdk Auditorium might have been filled.

U lEWS By M. L. OUTZ, County Agent Is it unlawful to throw trash on the highways and personal property? Yes; however, there are many other reasons trash should not be thrown out carelessly for someone else to take care of. Litter bugs create a tre mendous health hazard. There are a number of different types of litter bugs. One is the person who throws trash from his car as he drives down the road. Another litter bug gathers his trash up at home and carries it out and dumps it in large quantities on the side of the road. An other one will leave junk and old cars near the highway. These are the major types of litter bugs that create a tre mendous problem. Much of this litter creates a health problem. Where trash piles are located, the land value is affected. Without question * tourist trade is highly affeet- \ ed by this. It certainly cre ates a bad impression! ; > The litter is a result of good times. We are making a lot of money; buying millions of throw-away containers; and we are eating and drinking in the car. It seems the high er the standard of living, the greater the tendency to litter up and destroy our natural beauty. It is encouraging to see oth er counties such as Pickens taking action to stop t. h i s problem. Property owners have the right to sue people who throw trash on their pro perty. The basic need in this matter is a dump in * each community. Once these are provided, the people will have a tendency to carry their trash to these dum>s. Citizens should locate dumping areas pnd lease the property for this purpose. There are no trash containers on any high way in Laurens County that I know of. Also, there are no signs that indicate that it is unlawful to throw trash on the shoulders of the highway. Without question, this tre mendous problem will contin ue unless the leading citizens of Laurens County decide that they^are going to take action and ask the community offi cials to participate, encour age, and enforce the laws that, now exist. We all need to help in locating and ser vicing dumping areas and to participate in discussions and meetings to find ways of im proving our highway shoul ders and the entrances to our towns. » We should all become very sensitive and aware of this problem and encourage and help others who are trying to do someththg about it. This program can cost Laurens County many thousands of dollars il we do not lace the problem and realize that w f e arc responsible. On the other hand, ii we can get this tak en care ol with our present resources, it will be worth many thousands of dollars to us, iiC'savings and returns. Lct^s everyone help by not throwing trash along the roads and in areas where it should not be‘; then encour age everyone to do the same. Let’s make Laurens County the cleanest and most attrac tive county in the state. We should, since it is our home.
