Remember...Ange liked to look at the National Geographics. Or maybe he learned

I really don't think Andy ever saw any of those babies being delivered nor
did he ever deliver one himself. Saying that was just his way of reassuring
Sam that his wife was in good hands.
On another matter, I was just rearranging my Mayberry Village and I moved
the school bus. Got to thinking about that episode when the Mayberry band
went to Raleigh. I have always wondered how they managed to get the entire
band, all their instruments, and all their suitcases into the one tiny
little school bus. And then to think they even had room to play their
instruments as the bus pulled away from Mayor Stoner. Oh the wonders of
Mayberry. Being a former teacher of 36 years, who spent many an hour riding
school buses, I had never seen one so small until I saw that episode. It
just cracks me up everytime I see it.

If I had to pick a particular one-time featured character who I especially love
(after the group of lady convicts) it
would have to be Thelma Lou's cousin Mary Grace.
This was such a poignant episode to me because it highlighted Gomer's beautiful
inner qualities and it brought to mind the quiet sufferings of a homely girl.
Mary
Grace represents to me the type of girl who has spent her life admiring the
flowers other girls receive. But now thanks to a lanky boy named Gomer, she
has her own "corsage" with a little bit of pink in it to match her
dress because it wouldn't be right for her to go the the dance unadorned.
Lydia, "She's nice. She's real nice."
It makes me cry every time.

dan
I seriously doubt he'd ever witnessed a single birth. Andy was probably
exaggerating, so that Barney would have as much confidence in him as Mr.
Becker did.
Trivial triviality: the expectant mother in this episode was named Lily
Becker. A soprano named Lily Becker toured with John Philip Sousa's band in
the early part of the 20th century. There was also a fictional opera singer
named Lily Becker, who was the subject of the 1922 film "Stardust."
Mayberry's Lily Becker was probably named after one of these singers.

It was likely the producers and it should be noted that Ford was the car of
choice on "The Danny Thomas Show" at the time. When Andy makes his first
appearance on the Thomas show, he's driving a '59 Ford Fairlane squad car
and Danny
and family are in a Thunderbird convertible. The producers likely stuck
with a supplier with whom they'd developed a relationship. Ford and
Chrysler
appeared to be the two big TV show car suppliers at the time (on "Car 54
Where
are You?" the squad car was usually a Plymouth, while "The Beverly
Hillbillies"
made use of Dodges and Chryslers). I don't remember seeing GM supply a lot
of
cars except on shows they sponsored ("Route 66," "Bewitched," etc) but they
did provide Lucy and Ricky their convertible for the trip to California on
"I
Love Lucy," and Broderick Crawford's Olds squad car on "Highway Patrol."
Regional accuracy may have been another factor. Most of the older pics I
see
around area police departments from that era show Ford police cars.
Dixon
I think Pontiac was the make of choice on My Three Sons.
Maybe GM was late in getting federal funding!

This look like a Mayberry Sheriff's Car?
Look closely at the sheriff's logo on the door.

Henry Bennett's (John Qualen) experience as the town jinx was pretty sad.
Talk about making a person feel bad! Enough to make you cry. Qualen plays
another sad character in an episode of Father Knows Best, "The Bus to
Nowhere". Here, he's an old-timer who missed his bus connection at the
station. Alone, confused and short of funds, he doesn't know what he's going
to do. Betty, (our sweet Miss Ellie to be) sees his plight and helps him by
getting him the right bus ticket and making sure he makes his connection.
Betty gives him a candy called Coconut Dream as he's about to get on the bus
and this makes him practically start to cry. Betty saves the day for him and
in turn solves some personal issues she's dealing with. Great episode!!
(Bring tissues, it's a tear-jerker!)

My favorite passer thru would be Malcolm Merriweather. But you asked for
one or two time people, and I think he was a three timer. So I guess I
would have to pick.... ummmm... that's hard! Ok, I guess I'll pick....Buddy
Ebsen. I liked his character, even though he wasn't a very good influence
on Opie, but he did the right thing in the end. But, gosh, it's hard to
just pick one character! :) Lisa

Act one of the vehicles they used in "Beverly Hillbillies" was a 1921
Oldsmobile touring car---something like that anyways. It was the Clampett
Truck.
But everything else was Chrysler products that appeared regularly in the
show.
this truck can be seen in the Ralph Foster Museum at the School of the
Ozarks, which is at Point Lookout Missouri, South of Branson on 65 Highway.
It is a neat looking truck.
