1. I really felt old when I realized that I was older than Aunt Bee

...and Ethel Mertz.

2. Frances Bavier had a role in the 1951 movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

In the movie there is a scene at a boardinghouse breakfast where several residents are listening to the radio news about the man from space.
(I paraphrase from memory, the clip is on YouTube)

"Why doesn't the Government do something?", one asks.
"What can they do, they're people like us?" says another.
"People my foot! They're Democrats (sic)!" is replied.

Anti-Democratic sentiments are deep and old.
BTW, Frances Bavier's character simply wanted the news turned off.
