Keeps Things Going

•pHERB is Auckland — and, of course, 1 across the shining waters of the harbor, Takapuna and Milford, whose beaches form the summer playground for the Queen City's thousands. But Takapuna and Milford boast something more than two beaches. These marine suburbs claim many live citizens, and by no means the least of them is L. L. Speedy, who m his policy of district boosting justifies the name he bears. Speedy is one of the fullsteam - ahead progressive type. In business hours lie may be found m his land and estate agency office displaying to city inquirers lists of houses, flats and baches. He can tell you the market price of every strip of land m sight m Milford, and , has done quite a lot to popularize Auckland's foremost playground. But you can't hold the ■crowds simply by letting them houses. The social side enters into it, and L. I*, speedy is all for the younger generation. 'Give them pictures and jazz and let everyone be happy. That is his motto, which finds expression m the Picturedrome which he runs for the pleasure of be- flannelled and gaily-dressed youth. Speedy is his name and he certainly knows how to keep moving.
