EMERGENCY "911"
On November 8th, by an overwhelming vote
of 6416 to 2057, Deerfield residents
approved funding for emergency telephone
number "911". Beginning early next year,
monthly telephone bills will include a
$.50 per line fee to fund the installa-
tion and maintenance of the new system. o o
Since the Illinois Commerce Commission
has already approved our application, O o
it is hoped that "911" will be opera-
tional by mid 1990. We will keep you
informed of our progress.

WINTER DRIVING SAFETY
® 0 0
Initial snowfall and slick road conditions
during winter months can cause problems.
Make sure both you and your car are
prepared for whatever winter might bring. r
® Stopping and Starting
Slippery roads greatly diminish your vehicles
ability to stop and start. To effectively
stop under slippery conditions pump your
brakes to help avoid "fish -tailing" or
skidding.
Gradual acceleration rather than a sudden
start helps keep the car under control.
Should your car start to skid sideways keep your front tires pointed up road (turn in the
direction of the skid)
WINTER DRIVING KIT
During the winter months we travel between warm buildings and a warm automobile. The time
that is spent in the cold can be minimal. Because of this we sometimes dress for that warm
environment. If your car develops mechanical problems you may find yourself unprepared for
the cold weather. Putting together a winter driving kit for your car is a good idea. The --
kit can consist of a blanket, winter clothing, a wool cap, gloves or mittens, a scarf,
flashlight with extra batteYies, a snow shovel, windshield scraper and battery booster cables.
A good safety precaution before winter is to check fluid levels, tire treads and windshield
wipers. Think about bringing your car to a service station for a check-up.
Remember to keep your gas tank full. Keeping it full will minimize condensation in the tank.
DRIVE CAREFULLY
Many accidents during the winter months are directly associated to slick road conditions
and not maintaining a safe interval and speed. One culprit of winter time accidents is
GLARE ICE. Glare ice can form when snow has melted from the heat of the sun. The water
that accumulates on the road is then frozen when a shadow covers it, or by nightfall.
. The ice that forms is not only hard to see, but hard to stop on.
If your car is parked outside when it's snowing remember to take a few extra seconds
and clean off all of the windows, lights and license plates. You should be able to see
360 degrees, and other drivers should be able to see your lights and license plates.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday season
Holiday Fire Safety
The Deerfield — Bannockburn Fire Department suggests the fun times need not turn tragic if •
some basic rules are followed:
* Holiday lights should be U.L. approved.
* Discard any lights with frayed or cracked cords.
* Keep candles out of the hands of children and watch kids when they're in the same room
with candles.
* Never use outdoor lights inside. Always turn off indoor holiday lights when leaving home or
retiring for the night.
* If you have an artificial tree make sure it is fire resistive.
* If you prefer a natural Christmas tree select one that is fresh and keep it well watered
once inside to prolong its life.
* Don't put wrapping paper, tree branches or wreathes into the fireplace, they burn rapidly
and produce excess heat.
****Have an operating smoke detector on all floors of your home.****
* Remember that some holiday decorations are flammable so place them carefully.
* Be careful with all smoking materials
* If you have a fire hydrant by your home please take a couple of seconds to clear snow •
away from it if it becomes covered.
