What happens
Jim Anderson learns that his daughter Betty plans to leave home for a job in Cedar Falls, and he objects to the arrangement. Margaret, his wife, tries to keep the peace while Jim wants to look into the company, the William T. Ripple Company, before Betty goes. Meanwhile the Anderson children hold a meeting of their own and draft a resolution demanding to be treated as grown-ups. The episode is from the series Father Knows Best and was originally broadcast on December 18, 1952, with Robert Young as Jim Anderson.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
