Shame on you, Mike! Such foul-mouthed language! I'm sending you to Mrs. Rayburn's office post-haste...and you can have a taste of her automatic "spanking machine" for your attitude! So there!
I just found a scene I had never seen before. A pretty funny one too. .... In "The Black Eye", there's a scene with Gus The Fireman (plus Beaver & Violet too). Gus relays a story of how he and "Old #7" (his "auxiliary fire engine") had to go to Miller's Pond after the pond flooded the street one day. Had never seen that before. Gus has a good quip in there too -- "I still haven't been able to get the swamp smell out of the cylinders".
It's a darn good thing that Old #7 isn't needed very often, because I'm just wondering how many regular fire departments employ 73-year-old Fire Chiefs. And "Pete", another firehouse pal of Beav's, isn't much younger (played by 63-year-old Will Wright). I guess Mayfield has a thing for old-geezer firefighters.

Post-Script --- I just noticed the lovely presence of Phyllis Coates (of "Superman" fame) as the Cleaver's next-door neighbor in the ep. "New Neighbors". She looks blonde-haired here though. Maybe that's what threw me. (Wasn't she a brunette in Superman?)
