Sheldon Mayer up front and on the back this time, with the front and back cover to an unpublished Ronald McDonald comic book, possibly from a pitch for DC to do some merchandise for the company.  There are at least two full stories Mayer did for that project.

Jim Ivey provides a quick cartoon.

Gary Poole provides a few pages of plot and script for some Witch Hazel / Little Scarecrow / Little Itch stories, which I think primarily ran in the back of Little Lulu comics, plus in the letter column puts Snyder in touch with Bill Harris, who we'll hear more from later. 

There's also a mystery portrait with the artist and subject revealed in a few months.

Additional letters from D. Fenton, Joe Frank and Don Mangus, plus notes on the passing of Ruth Brank-Croal, Vic Herman, John Keel, Bill Rechin and Philip Sturm.
