MONDAY 14 OCTOBER 1968
288th day - 78 days to come

Claude borrowed my copy of THE PLAY OF MAN THE

Called home from Newbourgh, N.Y. Dale told me that Jerry
D'Arcey had called and left a number to reach him, collect.
Tried a few times during the evening but couldn't get him
at his hotel room.

Played 4 games of PLANK with BB. Good.

Played Claude's SOCK IT TO ME It consists of a toy. port with th at overley has hot a cover with a hole in the center of it. He places the coven upside down then places four different colored plastic figures up against the rim, 90° a part... There is a plastic hammen, Players in turn strike the pot three times with the hammen They try to knock it so that the in colon time figure gothru the center hole and the other players off the edge. There should be a path board with 15 spaces for each of the four colors. The movement along the paths is determined as follows - The player can only move by putting his own figure thin the center hole, He moves 5 spaces minus one for each opponent's piece not knocked over the vim. Also it an opponent's piece is knocked thru the center hole that opponent moves one space. Also if the player knocks the pot off the stand altogether he goes back to the start of the path. (Not bad as an action gavne.)

In Hudson saw a new game by Hasbro - WHODONIT?
Couldn't see anything since it was wrapped in plastic. It
may be a party type game. It is definitely different than
the one put by Cadaco with the same or similar name.
