PAGE EIGHT e e e ————————————————— SPRING CONCERT IS BIG TREAT; IS ON AGAIN TONIGHT The spring concert given last night in the Juneau High School gvm by the Juneau Public school yral group and band was a most ed event and what the attend- ance lacked in numbers certainly made up in enthusiasm for each selection of the two organizations was given merited applause. The concert will be repeated again to- night starting at 8 o'clock and now just a word as to the meaning of the concerts. The choral group, sel- ected, and the band will participate] in the Southeast Alaska Music Festival next week at Ketchikan and the proceeds of the concerts will go to the transportation of the young musicians. The cause is a most worthy one and when the Juneau Elks get be- hind the concerts and sponsors| them like they are doing, the pub- lic should do its part and not only purchase tickets but attend the function. The musicians have been working for weeks on the program and have really accomplished splendid results. Now to the program, first part, which is given by the choral group. Ninety two members of this group, | under the direction of Miss Mar- jorie Iverson, gave diversified selec- tions which went over hig. The mixed chorus sang The Donovans and Madame Jeanette, voices in perfect blend. The boys chorus came up with You'll Never Walk Along and She’s Fooling Thee. The | girls’ chorus gave Ten Little In-| dians, which was a brilllant num- ber, O Sing Your Songs and Lift Thine Eyes. As closing selections the 92 singers gave Were You There? and Open Our Eyes. The half hour of song was given with- out any delays and each number | was given genuine applause. | It takes band music to arouse| latent spirit in any audience and the opening number, the march| God Bless America, played with a vim by the 49 musicians under the baten of Lyle Manson, really got the listeners, The band then played Johann Strause’s Emperor Valse, went right into Largo, irom the New World symphony, with Nor-| man Lister taking the cornet solo, | Sousa’s El Capitan was another | rousing number, roundly applau- ded. Payanc, Slayontk Rhapsody | and A Night at the Ballet, were three sclections the program but the concert was| not over. ‘ GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY of A LIFETIME TO HELP MOOSE MEMBERS IN THE ARMED SERVICES FORMER MOOSE MEMBERS under 45 years of age; reinstate now. no initiation; just pay six months’ | off sea otter in th2 region.

The audience gave this number a big hand and could easily have heard the entire selection again, as the applause vibrated. This same concert will be re- peated starting at 8 tonight and the gym should be packed to show that Juneau, as concert artists ap=- pearing here in the past several years have said, is the real music center of Southeast Alaska and ap- preciate every effort of local mu- sicians especially and also uphold the city’s musical reputation. ELKINS_ RETURNS AFTER SURVEY OF ALEUT. SEA OTTER W. A. “Bud” Elkins, biologist and wildlife Supervisor for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, returned Thursday from the Aleutian Islands | where he has been on a survey and investigation of the sea otter sit- uation there. Elkins flew out the first of March to join the Brown Bear, FWS vessel, which has beel working in the area since January. Abcard was Dr. Robert Rausch, veterinary and pathologist from Anchorage and Russell Hoffman, Paul Adams, Kenneth Cowan, Jim Peterson and Kim Clark, biologists from Juneau. ' Main purpose of the Brown Bear’s | investigation is to try and diagnose a disease which has been Kkilling said the plague has taken about 20 per cent of the herds and that he saw many dead along the beaches. v Dr. Rausch, who has returned to Anchorage is now carrying on experiments in an attempt to con- trol the disease. Sca Otter Herd Study This is the first study of the sea otter herd made since 1949. At that | time the FWS counted 1300 on one 1sland and groups of about 100 on Ler islands. They are most abun- iaut {rom Ta a on the east to Kiska on the west. This week the Brown Bear is at Attu surveying the sea otter in that vicinity. Elkins said lack of funds has made it impossible to do any work on the sea otter sin 1949 and r knowledge, eastward | he asked that if een them in other ar- try. However, anyone h; No fees, == THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA p eas, the FWS would having the information. An interesting sidelight was poin- ted out by Elkins in his work there. He said about 38 sea otter were caught and put in fenced pools and cages in order that Dr. Rausch could carry out his studies. Various capsules were given the animals, buried in a piece of hali- but, and Elkins said that after be- ing captured the sea otter quickly became tamed. Sea otter have al- ways been supposed to be especial- ly shy. One old male they released, Elkins said, swam away but re- turned every day at feeding time for his halibut. appreciate { i Pelts and skulls of the dead ani- mals picked up from the beaches are being sent to the National Museum in Washington, D. C.,, for mounting. Study Emperor Goose Another study made by the biol- ogists was on the Emperor goose, which is about the size of the Snow goose which is familiar in this part of the country. ‘The Emperor geese winter on the Aleutian chain from Attu westward to the Alaska Peninsula. In the summer they nest around the mouth of the Yukon. Banding op- erations are being carried out to determine if those from the rezions nearer Alaska go to the Yukon district in the summer and those from the outer Aleutians to Siberia, or if they all winter on the Yukon. Others aboard the Brown Bear, of which Capt. Linn Jorgenson is skipper, are Robert Jones, biologist and refuge manager of the Aleu- tians, of Cold Bay; and crewmen Al Milton and Chief Engineer Arnold Cruikshank, of Juneau; Sam Swen- ning and Jack Moulton, of Ketch- ikan. ’ Elkins added that rats are num- erous on the islands, probably brought in by ships during the war days. They may be a contributory factor in the parasite which has attacked the sea otter and FWS is taking steps to exterminate the rodents.
