This year, they're calling the October affair "Watergate Follies." Greenville is the. home of the parents of John Dean, a key figure in the Watergate investigation. "It's time to see some humor in Watergate," said Mrs. Harvey Childs, chairman of the dinner-dance organized by the Greenville Council of GOP Women. "There is no intention to ridicule." President Nixon will get one of the 300 invitations and a free $6 ticket. "We sent him an invitation rather than a subpoena," said Mrs. Childs, who said she voted for Nixon in 1972 and added that 'she hopes he stops by in October. Table decorations for the event will be created from "plumbers" tools and will include comode plungers, she said. Tape recorders and microphones will be part of the decor, appropriately set around the ball room of a restaurant, known only for that date as the Watergate Inn. As patrons enter the room, they'll be greeted by host and hostesses identified by lapel labels as Lady Bug, Male Bug, Sir Bug, Lightning Bug and Bed Bug; she said.
