COULSTON City POTTSTOWN MERCURY, POTTSTOWN, PA SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1942 Artist Ralph Louis Temple and his mural of The Last Supper painted for St. Philip's Episcopal Churcht Indianapolis. Painter in London Gives Up Rationed Eggs for Art's Sake LONDON, Aug.

28 When Miss Eleanor Esmonde White accepted a South African contract to paint murals for the new Courts in Johannesburg, it meant she and her family had to give up their egg ration for a year. A condition of the contract was that the murals be painted in egg-tempera- the use of the yolk of the eggs witn water for mixing the paints. The egg seals up every particle of the pigment and allows no chemical action to take place so the work always looks fresh. The Esmonde White family is composed of only three father mother and their rations for a year didn't produce enough eggs and officials of South Africa House in London also gave up some eggs to help the artist do the job.
