RECYCLING
We can't prove it, but we believe that Deerfield may be Number One in the percentage of
residents who recycle! The response has been terrific and those participating are to be
congratulated ..... you also have our sincere thanks! With bad weather arriving, it will
no doubt be harder to maintain this record during the winter months. We encourage you to •
continue your efforts, however, so that Deerfield can retain its high ranking among the
North Shore communities.
REMINDER: Recycling bins should be placed at the curb only on FRIDAY (except, of course,
when - due to holidays - the second pickup of the week is -on Saturday).
,S(CAVENGER SERVICE
peaking of holidays, scavenger service will
be on Wednesday, December 27th; Saturday,
December 30th; Wednesday, January 3rd; and
Saturday, January 6th. UI
a�
Remember that it is a violation of the Muni-
cipal Code to place refuse at the curb prior
to sundown on the day before the pickup, or
to leave empty containers at the curb after
6:00 P.M. on the day of the pickup. This
reminder comes to you from your neighbors!

December 1989 Happy Holidays
STAY BUCKLED UP!
SAFETY BELTS
As you're traveling during the holidays exercise
special care. Changing winter road conditions and
glare ice can contribute to driving hazards. Two
good ways to protect yourself are to drive
defensively and to buckle your safety belt every
time you drive somewhere.
Why should everyone wear a safety belt?
There are two collisions in most automobile accidents -
the vehicle with another object, and the unrestrained
drivers and passengers colliding with something in the
car'or with other persons (called the""human collision,!)
Even at relatively slow speeds the "human collision"
can cause the driver to lose control of the car, thus
endangering other cars aswell as pedestrians.
Did you know...
Traffic crashes rank as the number one killer of
Americans ages 1-44.
The probability of being involved in a motor vehicle injury accident during a 75 year lifetime
is better than 86%.
Three out of four traffic accidents happen within 25 miles of home.
---Child Restraint Devices
Children under the age of four must be secured in a child restraint device such as an infant
seat:, child safety seat, or booster seat. The appropriate seat depends on the size of your
child and manufacturers guidelines. Children that are four and five years of age are required
to be secured in either a seat belt or a child restraint device.
Your childs safety depends on your willingness to use the safety seat correctly... following
the manufacturers instructions ... and to use it every time your child rides in a car.
Even in a 30 mph crash, a child may be thrown forward with a force equal to 30 times its own
body weight.
Air Bags
Did you know that the National Highway Safety Administration estimates that 2.9 million cars
will be equipped with air bags in 1990 and 5-6 million by 1993. Air bags are supplementary
devises that are most effective when used in conjunction with safety belts. Air bags inflate
in frontal crashes in less than 1/r0 of a second and deflate in less than 1 second to allow
you to maintain control of the car.
Automobile accidents cannot always be prevented, but with safety restraints, injuries could
be reduced or eliminated. Start the habit of buckling up today.
THANKSGIVING INTER -FAITH SERVICE/EMERGENCY FUND
Deerfield, Lincolnshire, Riverwoods and Bannockburn residents.gathered at Holy Cross Church

ceiving the Human Relations Award. This annual ecumenical service, sponsored by the area •
