For T.S. King of Hollywood, who was hungering for a restaurant in the Los Angeles area that serves grilled razor clams, we have no sharp answers. Lola Robinett of Palm Desert says she just returned from Oregon and may have a source for King, if nobody else comes to his rescue in the Hollywood area. Robinett says the Bell Buoy Crab Co., P.O. Box 46, Seaside, Ore. 97138, telephone (503) 738-6354, sells canned whole razor clams. She adds he should ask for dressed whole razor clams.

H. J. Jillson of Dana Point, who wanted some Royal Bee Jelly to counteract dry skin, doesn’t have to worry about making a beeline for a store in the near future. So far, the only sources we have any information on are independent distributors. One is the Nu-Skin line, whose products all contain Royal Bee Jelly, according to distributor Rosemary Hilden; Hilden lives in Hawthorne and can be reached at (213) 679-6382. The other line is Jafra, which uses Royal Bee Jelly extensively and which is sold through home-party consultants. The consultant closest to Jillson is Kathie Gardner, who lives in Laguna Niguel and whose phone number is (714) 495-1303.
