the social security taxes on the

security taxes on wages of more
than $4,200.00, you may claim
the excess tax as credit on your

Although more youngsters
have submitted entries based on
Beetle and his Army friends
than any other strip or panel,
the judges today pointed out
that this has nothing to do with
the outcome. The winning en-
tries might easily be from strips
or panels that are more difficult
to draw than Beetle.
(Rules, details and an
entry blank win appear
through Saturday in The
Star comic section. An entry
blank must be submitted; the
judges will not accept q
facsimile of the blank.)
All Of Beetle
The Comics Editor has re-
ceived ATT Beetle drawings.
Many of them are Of Sarge
Orvie Snorkel. Capt. Scabbard,
Killer, Cookie and the other
men Of cartoonist Mort Walk
er's oddball Army.
The next most numerous
entry is Scamp, Walt Disney's
cute puppy dog. Scamp seems
particularly popular with the
6 through S-year-old group.
There have been 327 cartoon
entries based on the Scamp
series.
In third place with BIT en-
tries Wis Robert H. "Rupe"
Baldwin's Freddy" strip about
the punkin-headed little boy
and his neighborhood pals. Mr..
Baldwin lives and works in
Washington and bases the do
ings of Freddy and Charlene

Next in order of numbers are
Hi and Lois with 1913 entries
and mrs. Fitz's Flats with 100.
The other Star strips and
panels trail out behind.
100 Entries Ruled Out
About 100 entries have had
to be disqualified by the judges
SO far for a variety Of reasons.
Some Of the entries have been
drawn on tiny bits of paper
whereas the rules require the
paper to be 8 by 10 inches.
Some Of the contestants have
drawn unidentif1able charac-
tiers and failed to identify them
In the entry blank. Others
have not attached any entry

You are living in retirement
now. Your housing, along with
your income, is smaller than 1t
used to be. Your children are
married and, as is the custom
Of the day, are somewhere far
away.
You worry that you don't see
them more often. You worry,
too. about what may eventually
happen to this clan you have
created. Your children's spouses
hardly know one another. How
could they when one lives in
New York and another in
Texas? And all those little first
cousins-your grandchildren
have little chance ever to know
one another well enough even
to fight.
In this age Of scattered FAM
lilies you, as the parents, are
the only rallying point. You
must ind some way to keep the
children in touch, with one
another and you, or else they
viii start q drift that in two
or three generations will make
most Of your descendants
strangers to one another.
Your own grandparents
didn't have this problem. There
was the old family homestead
to pull everybody back home.
And anyway, the children
settled on 40 acres down BY
the creek instead Of scamper-
ing away.
And grandparents didn't pull
up and retire to the sunshine.
A retired lawyer, George r.
Bannister, has been worrying
about all this. He has decided
to spend 81 900 to do something
about 1t and have some fun
In the deal.
You may be able to do the
same for less.
Papa Will Pay
Mr.. Bannister and his wife
have retired to q two-bedroom
bungalow in California. Their
three children are married.
One lives two days away by
auto. one four days, and one
flve. They are going to invite
the children to come to Cali
fornia next August and spend
fve days with them at Papa's
expense.
The total days the children
spend on the road will be %. At
&25 q day the Bannisters write
on $3.50. That will be simple.
But the three children are
bringing seven grandchildren.
