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.

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.
