DUCK SIGHTED ON FLAKE BANFIELD"
 CAUSES CONCERN

There had been comments about the possibility of skating on Lake Banfield-the pond on the flat roof of the new Coast Guard Building or raising goldfish or young sal mon there. But the comments have been made facetiouSly.
 This morning comments didn't seem like jokes: duck was sitting placidly on Lake Banfield, his back covered with snow. Observers in the Federal Building said you could see the ducks head move, if you watched closely. They said: Pro bably frozen there-poor thing"
 (Window glass is not optically ground; there is bound to be some distortion)
 News of the ducks arrival on Lake Banfield spread like grass fire. Soon heads were craning and suggestions were being given with cut being requested.
 Action was finally taken. one ambitious man volunteered to let the Fish and Wildlife Game Man agement office know about the stranded duck so it could be band ed and set free.
 When he heard about the duck, Urban c. Pete" Nelson, FWS re- search biologist who has had quite a lot of experience with ducks looked out the window.
 "It's got a golden-eye's head and a mallard's body" he announced calmly.
 He took binoculars from his desk drawer.
 Sure enough" he said. There's string around it's neck, too. String looks like it leads to window of the Juneau Hotel. Just decoy.'
 That news spread as quickly as the other, and people in the Fed eral Building seemed a little dis appointed at having been fooled.
 Practical jokers," they said. Spending their time :"
 (NOTE: Harold FoSs, of the firm of Foss and Malcolm, Architects, who designed the new building, said: Its dead flat roof. The building is designed so two more stories can be added. The puddle, of course, will do no damage.o
 This afternoon the duck was still there, sitting placidly in Lake Ban- field, snow on his back and string around his neck.

MIxUp IN HALLS BUT FURNACE E
 INSTALLED, STAYS

RRITTON, okla, Oct. 18.-R-A mix-up of halls cost an appliance store here sloo.
 Lawrence Brown found workmen cutting a hole in the new hard wood floor at the Masonic Lodge hall. They said they were install- ing a furnace.
 Brown said the lodge hadn't ord- cred one. While he argued by the telephone with the appliance store manager, workmen completed the installation.
 The company finally admitted its mistake-the furnace was supposed to go to a residence three blocks down the street.
 The lodge will keep the furnace the company sold it at half-price.
 But the Tom Halls down the street still need furnace.

 TREK TO SOUTHWARK

Largest Fish and Wildlite Service vessel in Alaska waters, FS PA, is expected in Juneau tonight after freight trip to Bristol Bay.
 The FS PA is bringing a load of! war surplus supplies, acquired at Yakutat, to Juneau before joining the procession of FWS vessels to Seattle.

SCHAIRp0 OFFERS
 TO GIVE CONCERT
 FOR GRAND PLANO
Monumental Program Is Planned for Special Civic
 Event on October 28

Thanks to the impetus given by a dynamic pianist now making his third concert tour of Alaska, a surge of Juneau civic spirit is about to have expression-and a concert grand piano is all but in sight!
 Maxim Schapiro, who played to an enthusiastic audience last week extended his visit here, so he said, because he was having such a good time. This was possible because the artist, now long enamored of AL aska, had insisted on having three weeks in the Territory-an unheard of arrangement on a rigid concert tour
 On his vacation in Juneau however, the Russian Ameri- can pianist was busy with a num- Der of things besides social engage ments and practicing. Things such as dreaming of that piano Juneau wants, and of matter-o tele- grams to his understanding man. ager, Bernard L. LaBerge, in New York.
 It all started with Schapiro's com- ment at the reception following his concert, when the pianist said he would like to give concert to raise the price of a fine concert grand.
 By the terms of his contract, he can give his own services only on the basis of a small percentage which will take care of expenses.
 Schapiro has offered to do just that.
 He has re-arranged his schedule to that, instead of flying direct to

 Romulo made it clear he did not believe further efforts would be worthwhile at this time.

1 Seattle after his Anchorage ap-
 pearance, he will return to Juneau
 to give the gala piano-fund con- cert October 28 in the 20th Century Theatre.
 Moreover, he is programming a concert worthy of New York's Car negie Hall.
 Tt is a beeg piano we want" Schapiro said today, just before leaving to fill a concert engagement in Fairbanks. "So I will give beeg program. I will play major works of the worlds finest composers. One of them must be Chopin, of course, in this centennial year and month. I have now planned the concert five times" he added. T shall decide finally in day or two"
 Just as generous, and as eager for the fine instrument which will be a real community asset, Juneaus civic leaders are cutting corners, too, so that every available dollar may go into the piano fund.
 For this special concert, there will be only one admission price s1, plus tax, for any seat in the theatre.
 This token admission, however, will he just the beginning, as many many persons will want to add their own gifts in greater amounts, to- ward a superior piano.
 Checks may be made payable to the Community Piano Fund or to the Juneau Concert Association, which will be entrusted with the care of the instrument when it ar lives. It is planned to keep the concert grand on the stage of the 20th Century Theatre, where an even, suitable temperature is as sured, and where it will be avail able for solo, ensemble, band, or chestra and community enterprises.
 "A fine piano. said the visiting musician today, somehow becomes the center of any general gathering. I strongly believe that it is neces- sary for the active musical life of a community, and especially for the musical interest of young people. It can be a real factor in the happy musical education of the growing generation.
 "The beautiful sound of a piano is universal; it appeals to the im- agination of everyone, more than the sound of any other instrument.
 "Too," he commented, "the llt- erature of the piano, and Of the piano and another instrument or ensemble, and the piano with voice, makes it imperative for Juneau to have it's benefits.
 And now" Schapiro smileo' having struggled so hard with all kinds of instruments here, shall look forward to future concerts here with pure joy, for having an adeouate and expressive instru- ment."
 Members of the Juneau Concert Association are handling details or the hurry-up benefit concert oct ober 28. According to Ernest Enier. Association President, all offers o1 volunteer participation in it's sue cess will be welcomed-as much ior the sake of the piano, as that every person in Juneau may feel he mas a part in providing 1t.
