Miss O'Hara has been one of Oakville leaders in Society for the past three years. Their romance has covered a period of ten years. Mr. Vaughan announced his destination as the Orient.

COW-GIRL WINS AWARD Miss Mildred Lemmon won the rop- ing, bucking and shooting events in a whirlwind performance before a crowd of fifty thousand people at 0akville's Annual Rodeo, June 15, 1940. Miss Lemmon is a typical cow- girl of the old school. She is bow- legged, ha-s a strait boyish bob, and talks with a drawl.
