2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, December 8, 1959 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN DEMARA FINE FELLOW, DOCTOR ? What type of man is Ferdinand Waldo Demara, Jr., the famous impostor ? He's a pretty fine fellow and a competent surgeon, if you listen to Petty Officer G. T. Chambers (a class- one rating technician) a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy for 21 years, who was in Oshawa recently. Chambers' statements may sound absurd, but he speaks with some auth- ority because he served with Demara aboard the RCN destroyer Cayuga in Korean waters when the latter was posing as a na- val surgeon. Says Chambers: Demara removed his (Chambers') appendix ab- oard the Cayuga and he has felt tip-top ever since. ("I would let him operate on me again tomorrow.") The majority of crew=- men aboard the Mayuga liked Demara and peti- Wisdom Seeker Rebuftfed TRENTON, N.J. (AP)--Roy G. Jacobsen, 28-year-old wis- dom seeker the hamlet of Tranquility, was rebuffed by the state Supreme Court Mon- day in his suit against Colum~ bia University in New York. Jacobsen sued the university for $8,065, charging that it promised to teach him wisdom and didn't live up to the prom- ise. He lost his case in two lower courts. The Supreme Court dismissed his appeal in a 6-0 decision.

"Demara was a fine un nd we hated to see him FERDINAND DEMARA, JR. is into all 'that trouble" Chambers is quoted as saying during an interview at the Oshawa Naval Veteran's Club on Simcoe street south last week when he dropped in for a visit from B.C. while enroute to his new posting aboard the HMCS Bonaventure, now docked at Halifax, N.S, Some of Chambers' remarks are included in the December issue of the Oshawa club's magazine edited by Ralph Harlow. Demara successfully removed a bullet lodged one- eighth of an inch from a sailor's heart and the sailor is alive today, the article states. Chambers' visit to Oshawa was of interest because of the publication earlier this year of a fascinating book on Demara. "PHE GREAT IMPOSTOR; THE AMAZING CAR- EERS OF FERNINAND WALDO DEMARA" (Random House) by Robert Crichton, which has been well up on the best-seller lists for several weeks, There's an interesting Oshawa angle to"THE GREAT IMPOSTOR" in that it frequently mentions a Roman Catholic padre who served with Demara aboard the Cayuga. The padre is the Rev. Richard Ward, former chap- lain of the Fleet Command and a former chaplain of the Pacific Command. Father Ward was in Oshawa on May 12 and 13, 1955, to meet hundreds of his RON friends at the mam- moth Naval Veterans' Reunion -- he met a tragic death, May 16, 1955, when a Jet plane crashed into an Ottawa vent. Demara managed to "become" a Trappist monk, a doctor of psychology and Dean of the School of Philos~ ophy at a Pennsylvania college; a law student, zoology graduate, cancer researcher and teacher at a junior col- lege in Maine; and a brilliant assistant warden of a Texas prison, to name a few things. Despite the many charges against him, some of the people he deceived (like Chambers) have expressed a willingness to have him back. But once discovered he never returns. One of Demara's achievements was to administer to 19 wounded Koreans aboard the Cayuga in a tossing storm. He worked in the small ship's sick bay for sev- eral hours handling himself swiftly and professionally in front of the crew. There was no place to run, to dodge. The fact that he saved the 19, some critically wounded, was perhaps his greatest "miracle." "THE GREAT IMPOSTOR" is an incredible book with a terrific entertainment wallop. NEED LAWS TO GUIDE REPAIR MEN It's tough in Ontario these days for reputable tele- vision repair men to operate. There are no laws to pro- tect them and it's difficult to distinguish between the good buys and the bad. The latter group -- the moonlighters and the fly- by-nights -- operate with complete freedom under this set-up while bilking the public annually of millions of dollars, mostly by poor workmanship. , There was quite a flurry in Toronto recently when Mr. Berton, the eminent newspaper columnist and ex- poser of fraudulent rackets, graphically illustrated the over-charging tactics of some repair firms. A similar expose had been carried out several months before by The Vancouver Sun, but Mr. Berton's columns served a purpose in that they once again put the spotlight on what is an unfortunate situation. The TV repair business in Ontario is badly in need of policing, of proper legislation, if it is ever to achieve its proper place in the community. The senior levels of government have treated the entire muddle with disdain, as if it were non-existant, There's another sad aspect to the story--TV repair training schools are turning out hundreds of graduates monthly to an overcrowded market, . What is needed is provincial legislation enabling municipal councils to pass adequate by-laws for the li~ censing of all TV repair men, A group of Oshawa TV repair firms--supporting the highest ethics of the business--have banded togeth- er into an organization known as The Oshawa Service Operators' Association. Main trouble with the OSOA seems to be that they don't let enough people know of their existence. Their membership does not include all the legitimate dealers but they have a good record, also an emblem, both of which should be publicized far more effectively. TIME IS RIPE NOW FOR LOUNGES Announcement that liquor banquet permits will be issued for the Jubilee Pavilion re-emphasizes the im- portance of the Duke of Edinburgh's caustic remarks about Ontario's "antiquated liquor laws" and stresses once again that Oshawa should do something about ob- taining cocktail lounges. ' An important point was stressed in a letter from Mr. Ernest Marks, solicitor for the pavilion, to the board of parks management; that it was better to regulate consumption of alcohol with a banquet permit than to have wholesale flouting of the law when guests bring their own liquor. Oshawa should have legalized cocktail lounges so that its citizens don't have to drink illegally in this man- ner. The matter is long overdue.

The world knows her as Tokyo Rose, convicted of trea- son. She still denies it. Now 43, she runs a small busi- ness and has only a few ac- quaintances. She wants no more because she lives in fear of be- ing recognized as the woman who directed Tokyo radio broadcasts to Allied servicemen and prisoners of war. "Nobody will believe me, but I'm not Tokyo Rose," she said in an interview with Paul Coates, Mirror-News columnist, "Maybe before I leave this earth I'll find out if such a per- son really existed." Mrs. D'Aquino has been free since January, 1956, after serv- ing 6% years of a 10-year-sen- tence. A jury acquitted her on seven counts of treason and convicted her on one, which charged specifically that she broadcast the following words after the battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944: E DENIES CTIVITIES "Now you fellows have lost all your ships. You really are orphans of the Pacific. Now, how do you think you will ever get home?" Through all the vears of her notoriety and punishment, Mrs. d'Aquino has clung to her U. S. citizenship. She was born in Los Angeles and at the outbreak of war she was stranded in Japan. Some people believe she is innocent. They have offered considerable evidence. These are some of the things that they, and Mrs, d'Aquino, con- tend in her behalf: No Radio Tokyo announcer ever identified hersell as Tokvo Rose. There were 18 English- speaking Radio Tokyo women announcers during the war. Captured Allied officers asked her to broadcast. They were writing the programs. None of the officers was punished for participating. In 1945 and 1946 her activities were investigated by the army and the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation, Each time she was cleared.

SAWDUST ON TAILS By controls--as simple in some cases as sprinkling sawdust on squirrels' tails to show when they move--the zoologists have found that some types of squirrel wake up every 17 days, others every eight or nine days, Dormice stand up and stretch every three weeks. After stirring, the animals move about, sometimes eat drink a liitle, before settling down again, Their body tempera- tures, sometimes down almost to freezing point, return to normal during these periods. While asleep the tightly-curled animals can be handled for up to an hour before they awaken.
