Tuesday 14 February 1967
St. Valentine's Day 45th day - 320 days to come
Sent letters to Mr. Fred Brandes & Dr. & Mrs. R. Makepeace, with their FOCUS booklets. In the latter letter told them I would investigate the possibility of oraganizing [organizing] a "Play-by-Mail" club.
Sent the signed contract for ELLERY QUEEN'S CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN to Ideal. Put the $500 check in the checking account.
Jerry D'Arcey called from Washingto

(cont. from 2/15) [2/16]
A player can play in his own "tally" zone as a defensive move but only in a space that the offensive opponent wh would be entitled to play in at that time (ie: the circuit must be complete.). A player wins by placing 6 markers in his target "tally" zone.
At any time in a period [illegible word crossed out] a player may substitute a "junction" or a "circuit breaker" for his colored marker and place it in a space of the proper symbol. They are placed on top of an opponent's marker. The "junction" can be placed in either the "hot" or "neutral" zones. The "circuit breaker" can be placed only in the "hot" zone. A "junction" and "circuit breaker" can not be [illegible word crossed out] placed in the same space. Once placed no marker, "junction", or "circuit breaker" is ever moved or removed.
A "junction" makes the space it is on a part of any player circuit. A "circuit breaker" makes that space unusable for any circuit.
Good game. I won after he let me take back a bull. He gave both Parker and Transogram copies of PROGRAM-IT and will sell it to whoever decides they want it first.
Transogram it has put out his CHERRY PIE game which is a children's game. Marbles are placed on a spinning disc to see which come off. (Very rough idea.) This was shown to Transogram by T.D.C. which is connected to Art Linkletter. They got 6% to from Transogram and gave Jerry 3/4%.
Transogram wondered if something like PROGRAM-IT has been done before. Jerry gave them my phone and told them about me. Ed Cole, the one he spoke to, said he might get in touch with me.
Jerry showed Frank Thibault's MOBY DICK to Transogram. They thought it was too hard for children to play and too juvinile [juvenile] // (cont. on 2/1[illegible second number])
