Monday 19 December 1966 353rd day - 12 days to come


Gave Ken Hiller in our office a FOCUS booklet.

Spoke to Arthur. He saw the ACQUIRE ad in the Times (12/9). On the same day he saw it in another paper, possibly the News but he is not sure. I was annoyed about this but he wouldn't have understood if I told him.

In a letter from Walt there was a GAME idea for a card word game. Arthur will wake up the equipment and play around with it.

To Gimbels: -Nothing. To Woolworth: -Looked at rules for TROKE (At home checked my copy of [ineligible crossed out word] TROQUE and the new rules for TROKE are included - having copied them from Bob Abbot's set.)

At Macy's saw: - SPIN OUT which is a new name for FORMULA - 1. BOX - BINGO - played with two dice and nine numbers (1 to 9) which have sliding covers. Throw the two dice and cover 1 or 2 numbers totaling to the throw. When all numbers left are under (I think) 6, throw 1 die, object to have least total uncovered. SEDUCTION - a wild board game with no-holds-barred sex
