Page 6 The Nipigon News Insomnia routed . . . If you can’t get to sleep and are sick of counting sheep, there is a mattress company in Columbus, O., which has just the answer for you! It is a mattress that rocks you to sleep. Used in health resorts for some time, it will now be offered in stores. The mattress has a mechanical device and motor inside. You plug it into the electrical outlet, set the timer for your preferred amount of rocking, and climb aboard. It also has a time clock to turn itself off automatically. The motor makes the mattress springs move in waves, but each spring moves less than an inch, so it is more like a massage than a rocking cradle. * * * Sign of life . . . Three-year-olds may try very hard to be careful of cars, as they are told, but you can never trust them completely. A man in Drumheller, Alta., took an extra precaution to insure the life of his tiny daughter, as the hedges surrounding the curving driveway were a constant menace. He cut letters out of wood, painted them red and mounted them on a white board, then he placed the sign on a slender post near the curve of the driveway where the ‘driver’s eye could not fail to fall on the words, “Baby, Slow.†A simple yet effective precaution against disaster. * * * A job to do? . . . An accident had deprived a family of six of their father and one morning shortly after the funeral, they were sitting down to breakfast, sad - and lost. Suddenly the baby of the family climbed into dad’s chair, looked around at everyone and said, “Guess I will be the daddy now.†With that he bowed his little head and repeated a small blessing he had been taught. * * * Useful possession . . . His grandmother had just given four-year-old Jimmie a handful of freshly baked cookies. Minutes later she heard this conversation under the kitchen window: “See what my Grannie baked for us?’' said Jimmie, evidently to some little friends. After a moment of silence, Susan, who apparently didn’t have one, piped up, “What’s a Grannie?†Then after another pause, Jimmie answered “Why, a Grannie’s an old lady who keeps your mother from spanking you.†* * * Time and place . . . The little girl, while visiting a friend’s home, announced that her family was moving to Toronto. After expressing regret, the lady of the house asked when they would be leaving. “On the next page,†the little girl said. It was explained that such an answer didn’t make sense, but she stubbornly declared that they were moving “on the next page.†Finally, to prove her point, she went over to the calendar and lifting up the current month pointed to the “next page.†* * * Expensive anger ... He had bought a new car and was tremendously proud of it. One morning on the way to the office, a driver behind bumped into him. He was wild with rage at the thought of a possible scratch on his car, went back and harangued the driver. When the man finally could get a word in he smiled, “Mister, I didn’t bump into your car, and I’m not responsible for that either,†pointing ahead. There was the new car, rolling down a hill. He had forgotten to pull the brake in his anger, and it rolled 10 feet into a garage! * * * Misses Elsie Lellava and Ruth Everett returned recently from a holiday trip through Eastern Ontario and the northern United States.
