^ In spite of it being the cold
est night pf the season, a fair
number of people (plus a feto
college students) turned oiit
for the second program in this
year’s community concerts:
The Clebanoff Strings.
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.

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.
