TILLIC WQ4mef-x X , X THE OAKVILLE FUTURE CRUSIER ECCENTRIC POET LAUREATE AND ACTOR VVEDS LOCAL SOCIETY LEADER Mr. Lester Vaughan, Jr. eloped with Miss Bernice O'Hara. 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. They will probably spend three months touring Europe before they go to the Orient. Altogether, they expect to be gone a year. Mr. Vaughan, who is a noted actor as well as a poet, has signed il contract with the Fox Film Cor- poration to star in the picture writ- ten by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treas- ure Island. We wish the young couple all the happiness in the world. 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. NOTED SECRETARY RETI RES Miss Doris Neeley, Secretary for the mayor of New York, has quit her job, and tells the newspapers that she is retiring, But it is reported that there is a love affair and that she will soon be married although Miss Neeley denies this fact. ZlEBFIELD'S STAR MEETS WITH HARD LUCK Miss Viola Julin, while eating break- fast at the Ritzbilt Hotel in New York, mistook her tea saucer for a bit of French pastry, and swallowed it with alarming results. She also lost three of her false teeth. Physi- cians state the case as being quite serious. The famous star is facing the situation with a calm, courag- eous, attitude. Page Ten VVOMAN DIVES OFF BROOKLYN BRIDGE Miss Helen Jackson, famous aquatic sta-r, dove 900 feet from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, giving a thrill- ing exhibition of death-defying long distance diving. She was awarded the t'Congressional Medal for valor, and the 'fWoolworth'l medal for foolish- ness. She was Hwinedf' dined and toasted throughout the city of New York for a week. Miss Jackson's tea-t is a rare accomplishment and needless to say, it was through her own ef- forts that she succeeded. NOTED ARTISTS VISITS FRIENDS HERE Miss Edith Easter, famous artist, is now visiting here with some of her fri-ends. She has been studying in Paris, Germany and Europe with some of the world's most noted a-rtists and has received considerable praise for her work. She will soon return to study her art in Paris. She some- daty expects to be the wor1d's greatest ar is . FAMOUS VIOLINIST PLAYS Miss Rosella Williams, World's greatest violinist, has made her debut in European society. She played Es- k10diSk01iSZY from Smith's Russia-n Czokologuikiski before 15,000,000 peo- ple 1n the Hall of Mirrors in the subway of Berlin.
