I just received my first Learn a Month magazine for 2014. Price has gone
up to 40 cents, but it is well worth it. This month's topic was Phobias.
And I cannot believe how many of our good friends in Mayberry have
phobias. Here are some of the afflictions found in Mayberry.
haphephobia or aphenphosmphobiar phobias - cause them to avoid letting
anyone touch their skin . ( most of the girls I dated suffered with this.}
Keriophobia — the fear of candles. ( Opie developed this after he became
the Keeper of the Flame)
Philematophobia, or the fear of kissing. ( Gomer’s mommy and daddy both had
this phobia as they just shook hands on their deal
)
Ablutophobia - Fear of washing or bathing. (the entire Darling clan
suffered with this affliction )
Alektorophobia - Fear of chickens ( no doubt about it, Maude’s hubby had
this phobia
)
Anglophobia - Fear of England, English culture, ect. ( Ernest T. Bass had
this his entire life
)
Aurophobia - Fear of gold. (Barney’s phobia after riding in the gold truck )
Epistaxiophobia - Fear of nosebleeds. ( Mr. Foley and Earl Gilley
)

Metathesiophobia - Fear of changes. (Barney, when it comes to the post
office )
