LP NEWS 

Dear Peter, 
I just heard the bad news-that you are going to quit making mono record 
and only make stereo. I have a mono record player. What am I going 
to do? 
Dawn Roberts. Minneapolis, Minn. 

Dear Dawn, 
Don't panic! The record we cut in stereo can also be played on a mono 
set. There is a new way to cut records now and all of the companies 
are using it. You will find that our stereo records sound better than 
mono on your mono record player.

WHO FRODO? 

Dear Micky, 
I found a Frodo Lives button and I love wearing it-but when my friends 
ask me what it means, I don't know what to say! 
Barbara Sue Water. Ludlow, Ky. 

Dear Barbara Sue, 
Thanks for the Dracula postcard-it's really flash! Frodo is Bilbo 
Baggins' nephew from the Tolkien series of books. Frodo tries to save 
the world by preventing the Lords of Darkness from capturing a magic 
ring which would enable them to rule all of Middle Earth. Does that 
clear things up?

CORN FLAKES KING 

Dear Davy, 
I have always loved your way of eating corn flakes backwards. I really 
didn't think it would work, but I tried it this morning-and I didn't 
spill a drop! 
Lynn. Downey, Calif. 

Dear Lynn, 
Why didn't you write your last name-are you bashful? We now make 
you the Official Corn Flakes Backwards Eating Queen! 
Davy 

SAVE THE MONKEES! 

Dear Micky, 
I have just heard that The Monkees may not be renewed next season. Is 
there anything I can do to help? 
Heather Jones. Minneapolis, Minn. 

Dear Heather, 
Write to the Program Director, NBC-TV, Rockefeller Center, New York 
City or to the Program Director, NBC-TV, Hollywood, Calif.-or to both 
of them, if you want to. OR write to the sponsor-Kellogg C., Battle 
Creek, Mich. Just tell the man in charge that you would like for The 
Monkees to be continued through the 1968-1969 season. Thanks for your 
baby pictures-they're adorable!

MOVIE NEWS 

Dear Monkees, 
I hear that you are making a movie. Is this really true? What is the 
name of it and when is it going to be released? 
Julie Geile. Raleigh, N.C. 

Dear Julie, 
Yes, indeed-we are making a movie. In fact, we're just finishing it! 
The working title is Changes and we expect to release the film in 
August. 
Peter, Mike, Davy and Micky
