ST. LAWRENCE - 223RD DAY - 143 DAYS TO COME

Call from Felicia. She will be out today and BB should pick
up contracts Monday.

Did a little more on CHUCK-A-LUCKl layout, making it suitable
to bring with me, even if it isn't complete.
(Sent Raymond for a deck of cards which I forgot) To B & B. Arthur, Claude (& Raymond) (Sent Raymond for a deck of cards which I forgot) there and Wald joined us
later. Wexler there with $1,000 for each of us, and the
contract saying $2,000 more at beginning of Sept. and $2,000
more at the beginning of October. There was a "Hold Harmless"
clause and most of the morning was killed while Wexler got
permission to add a provision limiting our liability under that clause.
After lunch we went over the play of FIGHT CITY HALL,
UP STAGE, and COURIER and Wexler took them with him.
Showed a little of idea for CASINO ROYALE but Wexler said
it wasn't what he had in mind. What he wants is some kind of
a race game, with betting in the background. I said I thought that I
could give him what he wants by next time.
Claude had an auction GAME. 24 items are shuffled and placed
face up in the order in which they will be auctioned. Each player
is given two "customer's lists." On each list there are 8 (I
believe) items with a price for the item. Also they are
grouped into pairs, with a considerably higher price for the pair.
Players bid on the items one at a time. Players start
with a limited amount of money. When a player wants to get
additional money he must leave the auction room and move
along a path by dice throw until he gets to an area where
he can sell to his customer(s).
