an
Unfortunate incident
By all accounts last Thursday and Friday evening's Moon-
light Shell -out promotion in Wingham was a huge success.
The weather was perfect and most businesses report a
steady flow of customers, many from other area towns.
However, there was one fly in an otherwise smooth oint-
ment. The person who donned the "Wee Willie Winkie" cos-
tume, unofficial mascot of Moonlight Shell -out, was uncere-
moniously robbed.
What made Wee Willie's treat bags so desirable was not
candy, but rather' the "loony" dollars that some bags con-
tained. The town business association and private donors
provide these treat bags as a goodwill gesture for the chil-
dren.
It would be unfortunate if the association were to have to .
discontinue this popular feature of Moonlight Shell -out just
because of a few.
Make them pay
Tonight is Hallowe'en and as in the past, Wingham fire-
fighters will be keeping a vigil at the fire hall in case any Hal-
lowe'en pranksters get carried away.
Last year there were no calls on Hallowe'en night, but that
has not been the case in the past. It's true that Hallowe'en
has been a traditional time for good-natured devilry, but set-
ting fires is dangerous and costly.
If those who set the fire had to pay the hefty $500 per
hour the municipality is billed for a fire call, perhaps they
would think twice. Please, let's make this a safe, and cheap,
Hallowe'en.

Roberta Jamieson, Ontario's newly -appointed ombudsman,
is a person who should be very well suited to handle the
duties of that important office. She is a full-blooded Mohawk
Indian, born and raised on a reserve and a graduate- lawyer.
The new ombudsman says, "I have grownu
different sides of life. I think I'm ging tohave etn exng tra
dimension, extra degrees of sensitivity."
The office of ombudsman is one which is not totally under-
stood by theopeople of,this province, Pri
manly,h®ombuds.man is placed
in office so that citizens may have a point -of
recourse when they feel that provincial laws in some Way
• impinge upon their basic rights as a citizen. Most of us never
have recourse to the ombudsman's office, but there must
have been hundreds of cases in the past when native Indi-
ans have been deeply affronted by the white man's laws.
These people lived for many centuries according to a code
with which the white man was not familiar, and when the
white governments of past centuries established their rule<,
here, it was not likely that basic Indian rules were acknowl-
edged or protected.
When Ms. Jamieson says she will have "extra degrees of
sensitivity," she quite probably speaks the truth. Our white
man's law has taken a long time to acknowledge that our
native peoples had their own basic rules and limitations. As a
consequence Indians have been permitted, in all too- many
instances, to relapse into the Sort of misconduct which alco-
hol and poverty are bofnd to bring in their wake. An
ombudsman who is herself a native Indian is much more like-
ly to understand the problems her people face. And as a:
Canadian -trained lawyer she will also understand modern
jurisprudence and be a fair and honest decision -maker
where the white man's problems are concerned.
