I really wonder if Mr. Schwamp was really wearing a rug. I think it might
have have just been the light. Kind of like in the old Rimshaw house.
Regarding air conditioning; in the episode where the church was trying to
decide whether to fix the leaning church or buy new choir robes it was
brought up that the church voted down air conditioning and the topic came up
whenever there was a hot Sunday. I think the only time anyone ever
perspired in Mayberry was when Andy was shingling the roof for Mr. Wheeler.
Other than that I don't recall seeing any perspiration. Even on the hottest
of days folks in Mayberry wore their long sleeve shirts and suit coats and
ties; except for Opie when he came down to breakfast dressed like a naked
savage. Why even Martha Clark wore her full length mink coat on hot days
as did Aunt Bee after she won hers of the TV show. Even when they went to
the car show in Raleigh they wore suits while riding in an open convertible
in the hot sun. And dark ones at that.
Curiouser and Curiouser.
