I always enjoy depictions of newspapering in old movies and TV shows. That's why I was watching “Leave It to Beaver” the other day.  Wally and the Beav wanted a new bike. The one they had their eye on cost more than $50, which was a lot of dough back then. This led to Ward giving them a money-doesn't-grow-on-trees talk. So the boys went out and landed a job delivering newspapers after school. Naturally, antic confusion ensued. And after well-intentioned Ward and June unwittingly contributed to Wally and the Beaver getting fired by the Courier Sun, Ward went down to the paper to try to get their jobs back/Paul Turner, The Slice Blog.
