Dear Town Crier .Editor: May 31, 1977 DAD HAPPY Memorial Day ls a day for remembering our veterans and WITH the men who fought and died for our country. So what happened to the honor roll call at Brownvllle and ·Brownville Junction this year. ~s~e~ We honor these men and women one day a year. It seems we could fulflll this obligation by at least having these names read from the honor roll. After all some of them lost their lives fighting for our country. My father was one of these brave men and I was always proud to hear his name read from the honor roll, even though I did not know him. He was killed during World War II. Maybe next year the person or people responsible for this oversight will remember our war heroes. Sincerely, Virginia G. Weston

The problem was evident this year when the education budget was determined in April, and the Legislature was left with the uncertainty of not know­ ing whether there would be sufficient funds left to meet other compelling revenue needs. .THE TOWN C.RIER June 9, 1977 Page 9

Policemen are chasing an armed robbery suspect down the stnlet \, when he reaches his own home and ducks inside. May they go in after him, or must they first get a warrant?

The question involves the Fourth Amendment to the Con­ stitution, which forbids " unrea· sonable search and seizure." And the answer of the Supreme Court, in considering this "hot pursuit" situation, is that the police may indeed go in without a warrant.

The fourth grade 's play was "The Rebellious Robots" and the first grade the Court, "does not require ol· ~ ficers to delay an investigation if r' did "Peter Pan", Following the program, first grade teacher, Lynn Zwicker was presented with to do so would gravely endanger-...... a roc!dng chair in honor of her forthcoming marriage and move to Texas.

Of cqurse, these are exceptional circumstances. And the Supreme Court has warned· that exceptions must be "jealously and carefully drawn" to prevent- abuse. In another case an inquisitive polieeman climbed in a window and discovered an illicit still. But his only excuse for not first getting a warrant was to avoic the tape. Held: the entry was unlawful.
