Women lead the assembly ballot with Irene Griffin Eile Rand and Anna Murray. Incumbents face light opposition in freeholder and township races.

It highlights past predictions from 1957 to 1960, the 1960 peak projection, and links to a school addition plan now deemed insufficient, with calls for a larger or future expansion. It also mentions community fundraisers by Junior Woman's Clubs raising $32,000 for six amputee cases and urging residents to help.
