15 SATURDAY * DECEMBER 1973
349TH DAY - 16 DAYS TO COME


Rcd. a card for [from?] Al and Adela Richter. (Gave to BB to answer.)

Sent X'Mas cards to Felicia; Allan Calhamer - telling him I'd
like to see THE NAVAL GAME; Don Turnbull - mentioning
PATTON, HOLIDAY, THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, FITTING & PROPER,
S & T, GAMES WITH PENCIL AND PAPER, ALBION.

Thinking of a PUZZLE. There are 4 cardboard tubes with
diameters so that they fit inside each other. They are
divided into squares of different colors. Also all except the
inside one have holes of increasing size so that part of
each of the inside tubes can be seen thru each. Object is to
get all four colors showing at each square. The inside one has
three projections at each end; the next four projects; then five;
then six. This is to allow moving them when put together.

Brought a copy of HOLIDAY as a hose gift for the Karlans.
Sold eight "Bekin's Boxes" to Annette Baschkopf. Gave her
one of each of the 8 sheets from ALTAIR DESIGN.
