WEDNESDAY 8 JUNE
1966 159th day - 206 days to come
To Alice:- Brought AIRLINE & DATA PROCESSING to be sent to Parker.
RED LETTER to be sent to Hallmark.
She is also going to sent GO SEE to 3M.
Took some Toys & Novelties. There was a piece on 3M boxing winning
a contest. HIGH BID was featured. Four others were shown, including
ACQUIRE. A&S had a fathers day ad for ACQUIRE, STOCKS AND BONDS,
and TWIXT.
Discussed CIVIL WAR SKIRMISH & PROJECT with Alice. She will try
to contact the inventers and get models. I took back some
additional material from her files.
Took back Arthur's NOVA BOARD.
Alice told me about CRISS-CROSS, the game brought in
by the negro school teacher. It is an elongated quadrille.
At one end there are a series of numbered squares, with
largest number in center and getting less towards both sides.
Luck cards send you back, forward & sideways in quadrille,
but advancing towards end, where you score the number you
land on. (Very rough idea.) He Roland Coleman says that,
surprisingly, the initial reaction was favorable (see 5/27)
Alice gave me $50 for May payment from Hallmark.
Alice is leaving Saturday for month vacation in Kansas.
She will visit Hallmark.
