Gorse E. Buchanan, sponsor and
backer of and rooter for the
movement of boys to Alaska, is
planning to take 50 or more to
the far north the coming summer.
Buchanan, who is president of the
Detroit Coal Exchange and five
coal companies and a bachelor, be-
lieves that a trip to Alaska, pro-
vided a hoy partly earns his way,
will. be a wonderful formative in-
cident in his life. He has already
taken 300 boys to Alaska, and this
will be his seventh annual person-
ally conducted tour. The boys,
ages 9 to 17, must earn one-third
of the cost ‘of the trip ($125.00);

the parents advance a third and
Buchanan loans the boy one third,
which is to be repaid later at the
boy’s leisure, 8

Ga a

Buchanan, who gets letters from
all over the United States and Can-
ada addressed “Alaska, Buchanan,
Detroit,” tells the boy who writes
to him direct from anywhere how
he can earn his third by selling
pencils; kitchen tongs, coal, steel
ash baskets, etc. Boys who qualify
go westward through Canadian
Rockies, seeing Banff and Lake
Louise, then north to Alaska on
the “Princess Louise,” They see
the wonders of Alaska and return
by the “Princess” to Vancouver
and homeward through the United
States, thus viewing the finest]
scenery in Canada, Alaska and the
States. Buchanan goes with them
on every trip and gives them his
personal care.

When asked what he did if they
got sick, he declared that they did

not get sick, or if they had a bit
of indisposition, the wonderful
climate pepped them up and put
them back on their feet immediate-~
ly. “One boy gained 19 lbs. during
the month’s tour,” said Buchanan,
and every boy has gone home a
better boy physically, mentally and
as a young business man, He has
seen Alaska’s wonders and has
2arned part of the money to fin-
ance the trip, which covers about
8,000. miles and lasts a whole
month. One of my youngest boys,
who is 6 years old, has already
earned about $80, and if he gets
his third. together on his own ef-
forts, -he will be in our party this
summer, even if he is only six
years old. Any boy, anywhere can
go,. provided he gets his parents’
consent and earns his third.’ |
