25 SATURDAY - MARCH 1972
ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD - 281 DAYS TO COME

Gave Phil a copy of S & T #29 with U.S.N.. He is
interested in naval games.
Gave a copy of NINE OF SWORDS to Edith to give to her son-in-law.

In an antique store in Brookly Heights Phil saw a puzzle,
published in 1927, selling for $4.50. It is a "sliding
block" puzzle with pieces as shown, except that the horizontal
and vertical pieces on the bottom row
might be reversed. Object is to reverse the
square blocks 1 and 3. A solution in 184 moves was
included. (The shaded spaces are empty.) Titled SLIDING BLOCK PUZZLE,
he believes.
