f poOOOOOOOOOOOCryrnr-i Women's World New Series Is Announced Concert Campaign Opens March 16 BY CHARLOTTE P. REED The Clinton Community Con cert Association will open its membership campaign week March 16 through 21. They en thusiastically welcome all in terested persons to join the or ganization and support an exciting 1970-71 concert series. Next season will bring The World of Gilbert and Sullivan, featuring artists ofD’Oyly Carte fame, The First Chamber Dance Company of New York, and the Neil Wolfe Trio of piano, bass and percussion, to Clinton. All three concerts are as remark able for their quality as they are for their variety. For instance, GilbertandSulli- van, of course, needs no intro duction, their light opera is a magnificent combination of witty lyrics and charming music, cal culated to delight any audience. D’Oyly Carte are the company renown for their devotion to G & S, and as such their contingent should provide Clinton with a joyous evening of music and laughter. Indeed, variety has been the keynote of the Clinton Communi ty Concert Association. Over the years they have treated the town to a delectable selection of cul tural opportunities which were calculated to satisfy the palate of any discriminating concert goer. For those whose tastes prefer the piano, they brought Ronald Turini. This young Canadian pianist, profoundly influenced by Vladimir Horowitz, gave a per formance of artistic insight and resplendence which fulfilled his audience’s expectation. The dance has been represent ed by such varied interpreters as Coleen Corkre’ and Michael Maule, in the classical vein, and Mario Maya, a stunning flamenco dancer known as “ElRelampago” (the lightning bolt). Mr. Maya was a true Andalusian gypsy whose dances reflected the passion and vitality of a pure and ancient race. Richard Hayman and the Man hattan Pops Orchestra filled the stage and Belk Auditorium with fascinating arrangements of old favorites and exciting composi tions of his own. They gave the town the incomparable thrill of a full orchestra with the majesty of sound which only such a col lection of musicians could pro duce. For Clintonians who appreciate beauty as well as talent, there was Delores Hodgens of the piano duo Hodgens and Howard, who not only performed magnificently but was also chosen Miss Alabama of 1961, and was among the top 10 at the Miss America contest in Atlantic City that year. Folk singers are also made welcome, especially when they have the international flavor and expertise of Steve Addiss and Bill Crofut These balladeers pre sented an evening of exotic music culled from many lands and ex pressed through many instru ments, enchanting every ear. There is no other organization in Clinton which provides its members with so many of the finer aspects of art. They are now soliciting new members, and they invite everyone to join them in sponsoring the tremendously exciting talents which will enrich Clinton’s cultural scene during the coming season.

Weersing Citizens Federal Savings & Loan Lowman Lumber Co. Lawson Furniture Co. M. S. Bailey & Son, Camp Fires To Include 6-Year-Olds Camp Fire Girls has expanded the age level of the Blue Bird program to permit the inclusion of girls six years of age or in the first grade. Approved by the National Board of Directors during the!969Nat- ional Council Meeting held in November, this expansion is ef fective January 1, 1970. To get started quickly we sug gest training, program and pub lic relations committees be a- lerted to start planning and pre paration for organizing groups for these girls. Our present Blue Birdprogram book and many of its suggested activities are recommended and most appropriate for 1st grade girls. We have learned in the de cade since the books were first written that studies and experi mental projects indicate that the growth and development of a child is greatly accelerated in today’s society. Just as the teen-age girl is ready to assume greater and more mature responsibilities so the younger girl is ready for a group experience at an earlier age. Throughout the nation, large numbers of psychologists, educa tors, sociologists, linguists and others have come to the conclu sion that the early years are the most important and teaching must begin with chiodren almost from the day they are born. * * * HAVE ONE SURE PERMA NENT PLACE FOR LEAVING MESSAGES - on a bulletin board, or a mantel, or under one par ticular clock.
