Nine Tips To Help Baby Safely Sleep And Co-sleep
(NAPS)———Here’s eye-opening
news about babies: According to
the National’ Sleep Foundation,
nearly one in four parents have
their children sleep in their beds
for at least part of the night.
While this has long been popu-
lar around the world because it
can encourage bonding and help
everyone get more sleep, many
doctors, boards of health and
other safety experts suggest you
have to be very careful about how
you go about it. I
The American Academy of
Pediatrics has come up with a few
safety and comfort suggestions to
help the whole family sleep better
at night:
'Always place babies to sleep
on their backs during naps and at
nighttime.
°Avoid letting the baby get too
hot. Dress the baby lightly for
sleep. Set the room temperature
in a range that is comfortable for
a lightly clothed adult.
'Place your baby on a firm
mattress, covered by a fitted sheet.
'Babies should sleep in an
area that’s always smoke free.
'Toys and other soft bedding,
including fluffy blankets, com—
forters, pillows, stuffed animals,
bumper pads, and wedges should
not be in the crib with the baby.
°Sleep clothing such as Swad—
dleMe blankets are safer than a
traditional blanket.
In addition, Dr. James J.
McKevnna, of the Mother-Baby
Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at
the University of N otre Dame, has
this advice:
'Adult beds were not designed
to ensure infants’ safety, and he
says infants should not sleep with
other children, only with a respon—
sible adult prepared to take
resnonsibilitv for the l'ml'iv

You can keep your baby safely
rwithin reach even when you sleep.
°Mothers with very long hair
should tie it up at night to keep it
from getting wrapped around their
baby’s neck if they share the bed.

tions or drugs, intoxicated or a
very sound sleeper, should not co-
'sleep on the same surface with an

One solution for many—parents
is a special sleeper designed just
for co-sleeping infants. The By
Your Side Sleeper provides a cozy
environment with easy access to
soothe baby and may be the
safest way for baby to sleep next
to you.
Designed to put your baby’s
comfort and safety first, it has a
sturdy metal frame to keep you
from rolling over on top of your
baby during sleep. Mesh sides pro-
vide a clear View of your baby for
parental peace of mind at all times
and help air circulate to protect
baby from overheating. The firm
mattress pad has a washable fit-
ted sheet in soft, comfortable fab-
rics. Some models have soothing
melodies, sounds and two-speed
vibration to calm baby and help
encourage peaceful sleep.

TRACK BICYCLES,
VELOCIPEDES, AND MOTOR
CARS:
Over the years various kinds of
rail vehicles have been provided for
transportation of employees in the
railroad industry, especially in the
Maintenance of Way Department.
Some were for one man use and
others for a full crew of several men.
One of the vehicles provided was the
track bicycle, a four wheel
lightweight you rode and pumped
with your feet similar to the two
wheeled bicycle. Another was the
velocipede, a lightweight three
wheeled vehicle propelled like the
bicycle except instead of pumping
with your feet, the levers ahead of
the seat were pushed and pulled
activating the gears. Some track
crews were furnished large flat cars
with levers in the center of the car
that were pumped up and down from
both sides to turn the gears. Later
came the gasoline motor cars of
various size from a one man car to
large cars for a full crew. Present
vehicles furnished are trucks and
automobiles equipped for both
highway and railroad track
operation making obsolete all those
other vehicles that have served so
well in'the past.
Because of their light weight, the
operator of the track bicycle or
velocipede had only to set their track
bicycle or velocipede on the track
and proceed, being alert and
listening for the approach of trains
and a train lineup was not required.
All other vehicles required a motor
car line up showing the location of
all trains and it was left up to the
foreman to set the equipment off the
track before being overtaken by
trains which was not always done.
Present rules allow the portion of
track to be covered or worked on to
be blocked off from all movements
except the vehicles given the

The US. Department of
Agriculture's Natural Resources

announces the end of the first FY 17
application evaluation period for the
Environmental Quality Incentive
Program (EQIP). Producers
interested in being considered for
financial assistance, need to submit
applications to NRCS by Dec 30.
EQIP is a voluntary conservation
program that helps agricultural
producers in a manner that
promotes agricultural production
and environmental quality as
compatible goals. Through EQIP,
agricultural producers receive

territory.
There have been many accidents
over the years involving these‘,
vehicles but action taken by Rules
Committees have reduced them
greatly. On January 6, 1908 the
Cabin Creek Subdivision local
passenger train No. 118 with engine
263, engineer W. A. Anderson and
conductor J. A. Carson had
completed their run and after being
relieved at Kayford, engineer
Anderson got on his track bicycle to
ride from Kayford to Cabin Creek
Junction. Later that evening Extra
294 West engineer 1. G. Lycans,
fireman J. R. Cook, conductor L. B.
Thomas, brakemen Larry Omeara,
Okey Thompson and W. A. Tolley
with a train of loads ran over Mr.
Anderson who was laying on the
track at Alum Creek Bridge, Cabin
Creek Subdivision and knocked the
track bicycle down the track. It was
thought and believed that engineer
Anderson had been killed earlier
and his body put on the track so it
would appear a train had struck and
killed him.
I don’t remember the man’s name
but I was told there was a telegraph
operator who worked at Stonewall
on Piney Creek Subdivision who
lived at Meadow Creek and
commuted daily on his track bicycle
between his home and work.
In by-gone-days there was a man
on each section force called the
“track walker.” He reported to and
received instructions from the
section foreman and it was his duty
to inspect closely the entire territory
under the foreman’s charge for
defects that needed attention. He
carried a large wrench to tighten
loose joint bolts and a spike hammer
to keep the rails snug to the tie
plates. On some territories the track
walker was provided a velocipede to
ride the rails of his section which
could be five or six miles in length

agricultural producers and

Producers have the opportunity to
apply for general EQIP and special

to: National Water Quality, On-

depending on the number of
switches, tracks or tunnels in the
area.
Some employees, especially
telegraph operators, bought their
own velocipede. We remember quite
clearly the second trick telegraph
operator Mr. Adolph Given 'I‘igrett
who lived in the section house at
Callaghan, VA. and rode his
velocipede to “OX” Cabin at Moss
Run, VA. daily to work his eight hour
shift, six miles round trip. Some
years later, in early 1940 in fact, I
was assigned a day’s work extra at
Joshua Falls, VA. on James River
Subdivision east of Lynchburg. After
finishing my assignment, I
straddled the velocipede behind the
telegraph operator and away we
went, about as fast as you can run,
from Joshua Falls to Galt’s Mill,
about two miles distant where the
automobile was parked. ,
You will now have to visit a
railroad museum to see a velocipede
and the gasoline motor cars are fast
loSing their popularity and
usefulness to the track wheel
equipped trucks and automobiles.
Many changes have taken place
over the years and we feel we are
fortunate to have known personally
some employees that went to work
for the C. & 0. almost 100 years ago
(as early as 1888). I believe that
when those employees reached the
end of their careers they were really
excited about the future of
railroading and really did not want
to give up their work. The same
cannot be said about present day
employees. They all appear to be
very glad, in fact, look forward to the
day they can retire. Now that is sad
because it appears the railroad is
losing or has already lost the
romance for which it was noted for
such a long long time.
periods. For consideration in the
first round of 2017 federal fiscal year
