TIC-TAC-TRIX - don't remember any of the details on this.
He said that an organization for the blind was interested
in FITTING AND PROPER and that they might put it out as a
joint venture. He will have his assistant send me all
the details.
He said that he hadn't seen my letter concerning the non-

it upon himself to return the game. However he didn't
ask to see it again.
Daystar - Took ad sheet for BIG BOARD. Didn't get the details.
