Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Grandpa (Will Geer) and Grandma (Ellen Corby) find themselves on opposite sides of a civic battle when the historic Whitley House is slated for demolition. Believing that the old house can be renovated, Grandma starts up a petition to that effect. Trouble is, Grandpa has already signed a contract to destroy the house in order to bring extra money to the family business. Caught in the middle of this brouhaha is John-Boy (Richard Thomas), who must write a newspaper editorial on the crisis--stating his own opinion!
