SUNDAY 19 JULY 1970
Eighth Sunday after Trinity 200th day - 165 days to come
Wrote a long letter to Jim Kraus covering SEARCH and OCTRIX.
Wrote the rules for INDIAN CHESS.
Read the rules for SMOG and DIRTY WATER. The former
seems quite interesting.

Is an inventor of games, but liked ASTRO-FLITE so much that
he was willing to act as an agent. Later he sent his copy to
"A-H." He has two games with them.
Thinking of another PUZZLE. Use six plastic overlays,
each one having about 10 line segments in black or
red. Object is to form 8 boxes which
are surrounded by a single color. (Needs
further work. Also it might conflict with
Claude's QUEEN'S PUZZLE with the overlays.
I'll hold off with this one.)
[Drawing on right of 4x4 grid with outlines in black, red, and green with alternating dots drawn in the grid squares.]
Made a layout for changing THE THIRTEENTH TORTURE
so that the object is to get six different colors
in the 14 directions. This should be more pleasant than
adding numbers. Changed name to TOTURE TOWER.
Jack Davis called and I pretty much went over what I
told Audrey yesterday. He'll keep in touch. Their clip-
ping service may pick up some thinks the Hallmark
misses. Jack said he would send Marvin Katz mater-
ial because of his freelance activities. St. Paul handles
the trade press.
Called Brian Blake and postponed showing him the
memory GAME for about 2 weeks. He is also busy.
Wrote up my rule change, or rather addition, for
INDIAN CHESS and BB typed it.
I told Jack Davis about the errors in some of the historical material
at the exhibit. Also about the errors in the TOYS & NOVELTIES article and
Marvin Katz suggestion that I send a letter. Jack thought so also. But
understood that I didn't want to antagonize "M.B."
