Ten, Twenty

TUT, tut, what's m age? When the mayor of Auckland, George Baildon, announces that he has just celebrated his sixtieth, there are eight out of ten who will say: "But you just can't be that old." Baildon has mastered the secret which assures a man being as old as he feels. Ask him, and he'll tell you that it's just a matter of hard work and plenty of it, plus fun, and plenty of that, too; For thirty-five years, Baildon has been associated with civic and municipal affairs m Auckland, the Queen of the W.interless North. His record of service to the community is considerable, and he has given his best, asking oniy a patient hearing and understanding m return.. In 1925, it was, that the good folk of Auckland saw fit to adorn him m the city's mayoral chains and rabbitskins. ,
