HAPPENINGS
At the last meeting of the Clover

Thatcher’s family of Stockton pre
sented an interesting program on
bees. Mr. Thatcher is a beekeeper
and showed the members his spe

tools. The group learned how help
ful the bee is for pollinating our
gardens. The members had the
opportunity to tase honey, too!

make a craft project - a mobile with
pictures of fruit, vegetables, and
honeybees.

ANSWER —Nancy Van Cott, New Milford, writes that she
has had success in locating old books by doing the following;
Check in the business directory of the phone book for a listing
of a bookstore that does out-of-print book searches. Call or
visit the store and give them the title, author or whatever infor
mation known about the book. The store can place an ad in a
publication devoted to finding old or out-of-print books for
people who are searching for them. The ad should only cost a
few dollars. The store will receive notices from people in the
antique or used book business who have the book for sale. It
is her experience that the bookstore where you paid for the ad
will let you know when they receive answers. You may then
purchase the book through the individual who replied to the
ad.
