FRIDAY 16 DECEMBER 1966
Ember Day
350th day - 15 days to come

In Pete Hamill's column in Post devoted to violent toys he mentioned
CHICKEN OUT a game about being mut macho that must have been dreamed up by Hemingway.

From news clipped an Ad for RACE TRAP GAME and later saw
it at Klein's. It seems to consists of two special trap sticks
which are used to send a car thru different gateways. Some apparently
give + and some - [minus] scores. Where does the race come in.
(See 1966 Ad clips)

At Klein's bought SCORE-A-WORD (T.A.G.) for 99¢, but the instructions
were missing.
Looked for CHICKEN OUT but they didn't have it.
One woman asked for a game "where you save the blonde". The
salesman said it was called SPYS-A-POPPIN but they didn't have it.

Rcd. another letter from Haar Hoolim with puzzles.

Dale, Dana, & Joe (Dale's current steadt) played
BOOM OR BUST.
