continued from paget
and sponsored outings and tours. Not
to be confused with today’s “outings". A
1914 AAA tour guide told how to drive
to Deerfield so you could lunch at
Deerspring Farm. Cross country events
and racing advanced technology and
cars grew into reliable transportation.
Roads lagged behind, but by the twen
ties and thirties the Lincoln Highway and
Route 66 spanned the nation.
Eisenhower’s national defense high
ways finally tied the country together
and were the catalyst for growth of au
tomobile travel as we know it today.
These highways are probably the most
influential agents of social change that
this country has ever seen.They allowed
for, encouraged, and fostered the growth
of the suburbs; changed the way we
relate to one another, changed where
and how we could work, whom we would
marry, where we would shop,where our
children would be educated, where and
how we vacation , how we live.
As the use of cars expanded, re-ex
panded, and became the most common
form of daily transportation it was only a
short time before they became the stan
dard way to get to work, and the daily
commute became a part of everyone's life.
In the suburbs the station wagon-now
vans and sport utilities-became Mom’s
rite of passage. The use of cars brought
with it the necessary rules and regulations
to make their operation safe and effec
tive. Unregulated roads were chaos:rules
brought order, discipline and safety.
Safety. That is the word behind ev
ery single traffic rule that exists. Disobey
the rules, and crash into another car.
Run a stop light, and run down another
human being. Speed, and kill the child
as she runs for her puppy. It was really
just common sense, over time, that led
to all the traffic laws and regulations that
govern us today. What I see on my daily
one mile trek to the Library disavows all
of this. What I see is a growing chaos; a
daily reduction in safety, civility, and
courtesy. Safety: safety is the biggest
loss. I don’t want to hear that this is a
police problem. Our police do a fine job,
this is a social/behavioral breakdown of
large proportions.
Daily, I am treated to a Mom in a
mastodon sport utility running a stop
sign, not even really slowing down. Just
check for a police car, and gun it through
the intersection. I see a Dad on his way
to the train failing to yield-right-of-way
to school children walking to their bus
stop. Cars of every variety speed
through my residential neighborhood as
if they were competing in the Indy 500.
I see almost everyone turning without
using their turn signals-both an element
of safety and courtesy. I see the same
cars park in our handicapped and no
parking zones as the drivers run to do
their errands-thumbing their noses at
the purpose of those special zones. As
they leave, they back into parked cars,
eyeball the crumpled fender and drive
off. This transcends rudeness into crimi
nality. It accelerates on the expressway.
Of course, you see all the failures above,
only at higher speeds; no turn lights, fail
ure to yield right-of- way, and speeding.
Worse, you see tailgating, weaving in
the lanes, passing when inappropriate,
driving on the shoulder to get ahead of
a line of backed up traffic. You see ag
gression, hostility and anger. You see

people’s heads buried in car phones oblivi
ous of what is happening around or in front
of them. Some of the behavior seems to
be related to the size and power of today’s
sport utility mastodons, some of it to an
inner rage that is almost sociopathic. Not
being a car designer, or a psychiatrist, I
don’t have an answer to either of these
problems. Personally, I believe this behav
ior to be related to modern society’s ano
nymity and social disconnectedness, but
it is mainly just selfish rudeness.
What we are losing is a sense of
safety, because we are absolutely see
ing unsafe driving, plus a loss of civility,
and courtesy. Decency behind the wheel
seems to have evaporated. I guess I
would ask myself how I would like to run
down and kill a small child while speed
ing, cripple or maim an elderly driver
through aggressive tailgating, or ruin a
young person’s future before he or she
even get their life started. I think we
should start looking to ourselves if we
want these antisocial behaviors to stop.
If we don’t take responsibility, I can’t
imagine how bad driving conditions will
be in ten years. The book I am -recom
mending this month, before it is too late
for you, is Illinois Rules of the Road. Al
ways a good read, drop by and read one
at the Library.
Or, ignore the book and get exposed to
it in mandatory traffic safety classes after
you get your big ticket. Orville Freeman,
former Governor of Minnesota, had a great
phrase about driving--”lt’s not a right, it is a
privilege”. And there aren’t any excuses.

70th anniversary in the January 9

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.

Celebrates
70th
Birthday
n January 1,1927 Deerfield’s
first library was opened in
the Deerfield Grammar
School (now die site of the School
District #109 Administration Build
ing) and was furnished with 700
books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield.
The library was moved tempo
rarily in 1955 to a converted store
at 758 Waukegan. In 1959 the li
brary shared space with the town hall
as a township library. As a village li
brary, a bond issue was approved to
build and equip our present build
ing, now 25 years old.

sources right now. Whether or not librar
ies will in fact ever become strictly infor
mation centers remains an open ques
tion. In the meantime technology and its
ancillaries have come to dominate think
ing and budgets in many libraries.
The speed of change in information
technology will cause many, many
changes in the format and style of deliv- "
ery of library service. My crystal ball does
not tell me what the final outcome will
be. There will be and are new ap
proaches to the age-old question that has
plagued librarians ever since the library
at Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt. “What's
a good book to read?" In fact, readers
advisory is becoming one of the most fas
cinating areas of library service and an
area of real growth and development of
library service. This also helps librarians
focus on what most people come into the
library to find—a good book.
Ironically the tools of the readers ad
visory trade are those of computers and
technology. These allow us to relate one
fiction book to another, produce lists of
”read-a-likes," recommend fiction from
obscure authors, and generally provide
a more indepth readers referral than we
ever could using only our memories and
our own reading tastes. Even the Internet
has become a great source for readers
advisory work.
The old fashioned way to learn about
new authors and titles is from another
reader. Our Summer Reading Club is
based on this idea and has been such a
success we are organizing a Winter
Reading Club to share new titles and to
introduce new readers to old titles.
Here is a short list of read-a-likes put
together by our staff:
If you liked Colin Powell's biography,
you'll like U.S. Grant’s Memoirs. If you
liked Primary Colors you’ll like All the
President's Men. If you liked The Last
Don. you'll like Honor Thy Father. If you
liked A Time To Kill, you'll like A Lesson
Before Dying. If you liked The Bean
Trees, you'll like Where the Heart Is. If
You liked Gods and Generals, you’ll like
KillerAngels. If you liked Fried Green To
matoes you’ll like Walking Across Egypt.
If you liked Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil, you’ll like A Death in White
Bear Lake. And finally if you liked Snow
Falling on Cedars. I know you’ll like En
emy Among Friends. Be sure to watch
for our Winter Reading Club.
