SUNDAY 9 JULY 1967
Seventh Sunday after Trinity
190th day - 175 days to come

Filed cards for the two editions of WFF'N PROOF by Layman
E. Allen.

Copied the following game from the 1966 Hamley's catalog
and then filed the catalog in the filing cabinet.
CHECK LINES : - The board is as shown. Each player has
5 pieces and the object
is to get two lines of three.
Rules are not given but
obviously the pieces are
placed one at a time
and then are moved along
a straight line into the
empty space until a player
succeeds in completing two lines.

[Diagram of 11 black circles arranged in the shape of a concave irregular pentagon. Each circle is connected to at least 2 and as many as 6 other circles via lines. The lines cross one another and form various triangle, quadrilateral, and pantagon shapes.]
