How Independent Should A Girl Be ? INDEPENDENCE for girls is a wonderful thing. No sane person in this day and age would argue that. But too much of it, like too much of other good things — leisure or chocolate cake or fine brandy— can be rather dreadful. At the risk of being called a fence-sitter, I'd say ■the happy medium of independence is the thing for which a girl should strive." Are those the words of old Aunt Agatha, who has been clucking over "What are girls coming to?" ever since thev were allowed to ride bicycles Bill and June in scene in film. "The amount of independence a single girl should have depends on her maturity." Below: Kirk Douglas applauds heartily as Frances Scully, president of Hollywood Women's Press Club, presents June with "most cooperative actress" award.
