PACE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1948 Surrounded by Tokens of Love Octogenian Celebrates Birthday Surrounded by fresh spring flow- ers, over a hundred birthday cards and more than fifty friends and relatives Mrs. Sylvanus Luke cele. brated her 84i( birthday last Mon. day at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. L. Pipher, Kingsten Road West. Mrs, Luke, a life-long resident of Oshawa district, moved to Thorn. ton's Corners in 1914, She termed make.up for girls "ridiculous", and added "Girls in my day didn't go in for that nonsense". Speaking of the "new look", the elderly lady said, "I don't think much about it; if I feel like wearing a long skirt I do it, and if I want to wear a short one I do so." At 84, Mrs. Luke reported that her hope is that she will "live long enough to go up in an aeroplane." The Times-Gazette is endeavour. ing to make arrangements for Mrs. Luke to make a flight over the city in the near future. : Reminiscing about her early days in Oshawa, Mrs. Luke said,|q "We used to drive into town with a horse and buggy and the city then was just a mud hole. We didn't have all this fuss that's go- ing on with the hydro; we used oil lamps and candles then. Those were the days when we bought butter for 20c a pound and eggs at 12c a dozen." Mrs. Luke, who enjoys movies, likes to knit and spends much of her time reading, played an active part in entertaining her friends and relatives including three daughters, four sons, 24 grandchil. dren and 14 great.grandchildren. Mrs, Luke thought that perhaps the biggest thrill of the celebration was receiving birthday cards from friends in British Columbia and California whom she hasn't seen for many years. Mrs, Luke lives with her daugh- ter, Mrs, E. L. Pipher, who says that although 84, her mother "still lets the family know who's boss and doesn't stand for any non. sense." As we left the house Mrs. Luke uipped, "Don't forget, young man, I'll be expecting you at my party next year." Mystery of Lost Portrait Solved in South Africa Port Elizabeth, South Africa -- (CP)--The 100-year.old mystery of the missing portrait has been clear- ed up at last. Whereabouts of a portrait of a beautiful young 18th century wo. man has long puzzled historians delving into the life of the English novelist, Henry Fielding. Painted by an unknow artist two centuries ago, it is the picture of Sarah Andrews of Ballairs, Lyme Regis, believed to be the original Sophia Western of Fielding's classic "Tom Jones." For this reason the painting was once pointed out to all who visited the stately English home of its own. er in Dorsetshire. Then, for almost 100 years it simply disappeared. "Fifty years ago," wrote G. M. Godden in a book published in 1910 on the life of Fielding, "a portrait of the beautiful heiress in the char- acter of Sophia Western was still preserved in the house of Bellairs, near Exeter, then the property of the Rhodes family. The present ownership of the picture has so far eluded inquiry." But the mystery was cleared up recently when Mrs. E. W. Greer of Port Elizabeth disclosed the paint. ing has been in her possession for 10 years, and today hangs in the room where she lives on Pearson Street. It was while reading another book about Fielding in the Port Eli. zabeth public library, "A True.Born' Englishman," by M. P. Willcocks, that Mrs. Greer realized that the picture that hung facing her was the one for which art dealers had been searching for so long. There is nothing mysterious about how Mrs. Greer came to have the portrait, Her husband is a direct descendant of Sarah Andrews, and, as members of the family died, trea- sures were sub-divided as genera. tion succeeded generation. Eight years ago, on the death of a relative in Britain, Mrs. Greer received the unframed canvas of Sarah Andrews, together with othe? family heirlooms. Behind the portrait which now hangs in a Port Elizabeth house lies a story of young love enacted IT the then small village of Lyme Regis more than 200 years ago. Henry Fielding, barely 19, fell in love with the lovely Sarah Andrews. But their match.making families had other ideas about their future. It is said that Fielding tried to abduct Sarah one Sunday morning while she was on her way to church but the attempt failed. Sarah And rews, a few years later became Mrz Sarah Rhodes.

A pretty grim prob- lem has faced both of them--Ifood; and they've tried out various ways of adding to their rations. The Oxford team has secured a large quantity of whale steaks -- hardly a substitute for the roast beef of pre-war years, but better than nothing. Last semester some of the men in the trial eights had frozen whale meat kept in the col- lege ice box, and served to them with their dinner, This semester pretty well all the rowing men are eating whale. Cambridge has bought a Boat Club cow, and members of the crew are learning to milk her! She's kept on a farm just outside Cam- bridge, and is making a welcome addition to the crew's one quart a week milk ration, Bread and potato raitoning have hit both sides -- they get ravenous after a hard afternoon on the riv- er and there's nothing much to fill | up with, The race itself will use {up 3,000 calories, and each practice costs every man 2,500 calories. That doesn't leave much out of the daily United Kingdom average of 2,700 calories a day, to ride a cycle | home. The Cambridge coach in- | sists on a hot cup of meat extract | --not rationed-- immediately after | rowing. He says his crew's physi- | que is just as good as pre-war, but | they're not as well nourished. Whale steak, when available is | increasing in popularity with Bri- tain's housewives too. All have their own ideas on how to cook it. The secret of the success of whale meat lies in the cooking, When it | has been skilfully prepared and | served with onions or suitable sea- | sonings, many people have been { deceived into thinking they were eating beefstedk.
