Put the pcs. and rules for <u>PASS-O</u> in a U.N.E.S.C.O. X'mas
box and put the board, which was a checker board,
with the others.
Fay called. She wants Claude and me to come up with
some 12 to 15 game ideas to present to Charley Asmus
for AFIPS money. She also wants me to write up
<u>TREASURE HUNT</u> so she can glamorize a presentation for
the networks. Invited her to come for supper next Sunday
when Claude comes. Maybe.
Sent out two <u>FOCUS</u> orders.
Wrote a letter to aco games - <u>FACULTY CARDS</u>.
BB is supposed to type it.
Jerry Fredericks brought me the Jan. & Mar. ''Sci.Am.'' columns.

(cont. from 3/24) [3/24]
<u>STOCK MARKET</u> This is a large upstanding box with a
cylinder inside that shows stock quotations. There
are 16 different stocks and 5 blocks available of
each. The first quotations are set by some [crossed out]
chance method. After this it is moved once space (can
players memorize the fluctuations?). Players buy and
sell at the quotations, but if demand is higher than the
supply, players may bid for the stock. Lining up of certain
marks on the cylinder and the cover causes market
reports, which can bring dividends as well as other
payments, events, etc. Other lines cause owners of
certain stocks to draw "personal trouble" cards which
cause players to pay money. (Very rough idea.)
Patent #2,908,501.
