Any other individual or organization wishing to make a contribution to the skating rink and playground _ should â€" communicate with Superintendent Lester B. Ball at the Deerfield Grammar school. The representatives also considâ€" ered a request for permission to sell candy and food on the grounds and decided against such a proposition as it would involve too many other problems.

Much that is due Deerâ€" field is now being credited Chicago and other cities which have no right to these funds. We want them and need them badly for our own fire deâ€" partment. Your cooperation is earnestly reâ€" quested in order to make your fire department a better and more proâ€" tective part of your village governâ€" ment. Fire departments, even though they be named by a volunteer perâ€" sonnel, need funds for equipment, supplies, etc. The Deerfield fire deâ€" partment receives an extremely small amount each year from the State of Illinois which represents 2 percent of the premiums of fire inâ€" surance written on homes in Deerâ€" field. This amount should be much greater than it is and you can help make it so.

Everyone knows the function of a fire department. You are also aware, we believe, of the fine spirit of unselfishness in those men in Deerfield who serve on our volunteer fire department. They are subject to call any time of day or night; on a hot summer day, or on a subâ€"zero night in the winterâ€"rain or shineâ€" they are on the job to protect your home. Deerfield Board Respectfully yours, Your Fire Dept. Committee. NUMBER 43 Ves i
