Here is this week's question, er ... questions:

When the problem of protecting the crowd of 500,000 that gathered to see the event presented itself, Chief of County Detectives George Murien solved it in this fashion: Flying over the throng, he spotted suspects and then dropped a note to his men stationed in the field.

There were five arrests made.
