In one of the Mayberry RFD episodes there was a fund raising effort to help raise money to get a swimming pool for the kids of Mayberry. Sam hired a couple of ex convicts to help on the farm and they were inspired by one of Reverend Tucker's sermons, so they took money out of Aunt Bee's cookie jar to gamble in order to win money to give for the swimming pool. So apparently Mayberry didn't have a pool back when Barney was in school.
Regarding "It's a Wonderful Life", which happens to be my all time favorite movie, I always thought the swimming pool was quite advanced with that moving floor. Being old man Potter practically owned Bedford Falls, and being he was such a penny pincher, I often wondered where the town got the money for that fancy pool. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
