Correspondents Today Not in Favor Of Law That
Would Change Legal Age Of Girl From IS to 81.
~ CYNTHIA GREY

Are you In fapor Of lao that oiH change the Legal
Of girls from rs TO en- Or haze you good argument against
such LdfoR
Following number Of letters the subject:
Dear Miss Grey: have been following the discussion
the legal age limit for girl
Can government set fixed limit for girls, when
people differ much in their maturity2 know personally
of who have passed the age of 49, and 81 too with
out ndugng in this so-caed high life and then when
irving at the OF 80 40 they out Joy rides booze
parties etc. sometimes leaving babies children at home
who need their TO prevent them from doing the same
things
Are the young girls 10 blame the parents7 Did the
liquor have the expected effect2 Aren't alarming lot
of the mothers Of today making homo brew? Did the 81
year limit for boys make much diference7 Do they
not haunt poorooms attend public dances against the law
etc Isn't this sort Of thing placing dsooedence in the
minds of both boys and girls and wouldn't it be far better
not to have law at all than not 10 enforce 1T
