Childspice, a new
developmental day care
program, opened Monday,
with a variety of activities
planned for pre-school
children.
The program, which can
accomodate 15 children, aged
three to five, is taught and
directed by Mike and Carol
Howard, at their home on 141
E. Fairmont Ave.
The Howards said the
Childspace program is for
working parents and studying
parents, parents who need
some free time and those who
want their children to have
social contacts and open their
social world.
The Howards said the
'emphasis of their program is
on "sensory education." Mr.
Howard said they are trying
to help the children "explore

all the different senses."
They do this through art and
music experiences, games,
nature study and social
interaction.
Field trips and walks will ,swinging apparatus for

Mr. Howard said one
internship is for "someone
who is really into childhood
education." He said this will
involve observing the
children's "abstract
orientation, sensing
discrepencies, and observing
the social interaction between
children and adults.
He said another type of
intership will be for "people
who have to . create an
experience for thenielves in
terms of getting a job.", This
would involve creating a
project and working with the
children.
A third internship is aimed
at recruiting people'with non-
University, non-academic
orientation. Howard said
these are primarily people
who have a skill they want to
share with children, or who
just want to meet children.
Ms. Howard said certain
projects demand volunteer
help, which these persons can
provide.
The Howards both have
extensive experiences with
pre-school and elementary
education. Ms. Howard
received a bachelor of science
'Follies
GREENVILLE, Pa. (AP) The major fall social event in
this small northwestern Pennsylvania community is
sponsored by Republican women. 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.
