At a bazaar in White Plains bought a package of 5 x 3 colored index cards for
15¢. With Edith's help got 3 packages of 6 x 4 colored index cards for
$1.00.
<br>At bazaar in New Rochelle bought a game <u>WEIGHT WATCHERS CANASTA</u>
for $1.50. Also a book on science experiments for 15¢ and
<u>SCARNE CARD TRICKS</u> for 10¢.
<br>Noticed that there would be a program on TV on the "Patent Office."
Called <u>Claude</u>. Not in and left a message about it. Watched part of it
and it wasn't very good.

details earlier this year. Alan is making some changes in the model. (M.B. turned this down.)
<u>THE CIRCUS</u>, by Alan. Putting together 10 acts for a cirus [sic] [illegible word crossed out]
by bidding (I believe) for cards with the acts. Two separate paths (or
maybe it was three) from "small town" to "big time." When land on a
town, spin a trapeze gimmick which feeds out three colored balls - al-
ways the same three- which gives the returns for each act according
to its color. There is a fourth color act which doesn't earn any money, but
does count in filling in the ten required acts. (very rough idea.) (Told
Felicia that this and <u>MASTER SPY</u> are at least as good as the things P.
has been doing.)
<br><u>THE ZOOKEEPER</u>, by another client, is a children's game that
Felicia likes a lot. Hubbard (spelling?) of "Impact" is looking at
it now, but she'll get it back to show to P.
<br><u>DON'T POP MY BALOON</u>, by another client, same as above.
<br>"Holiday Line", by another client, is a series of children's jig-saw
puzzles that make a different shapes-Easter Egg, Pilgrim's Hat, etc.
<br><u>TIME IS MONEY</u>. She has a new model, but the rules,
she says, are the same. One gimmick is a box
for shaking the cubes, as shown. [drawing of a rectangular box with a slot along the bottom of one of the long sides] A stuck is moved
in the slot to knock off any cubes resting on others.
She is not sure whether to show it or not.
<br><u>CLICHÉS</u>. Probably she won't show this. And I agreed. (by <u>Rolf Myller</u>.)
<br>Felicia told me that <u>Jim Goldsberry</u> of Hallmark died.
Talking about Hallmark, she showed me the model of <u>PITFALL</u>
that was sent back. The rules were missing - and some of the
marbles. She asked me if I'd look them up for her. Sure.
<br><u>Rolf Myller</u> has placed a book on mazes with <u>Fabio Coen</u>. She is not
his agent on this - since he was selling books before he met her.
<br>Talking about Fabio, she said that she has shown some things of
<u>Alan Newman</u>'s to him, but he told her that he didn't want to
look at things that would compete with mine.
<br><u>Herb Roth</u> is advertising (where?) for a small business to take
over. He doesn't see much future in games.
He once was a principle in "Popper Games", but his partners were
dishonest. I asked, and Felicia said Popper Games did standards.
She asked if I had seen the Aladdin ad <s>for</s> in <u>G&P</u> and whether
