The' Daily Northwestern 197? 29 Parfy for 160,000 children looked more like a garden hose for the Holland Tunnel than the Hindenburg but the kids ate it up: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and an occasional witch with broomstick cavorted through the crowds. So did a golf-cart propelled knight in shining armor. Muppet hero Kermit the Frog the enormous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon version waved to the children from his anchored perch in the center of the fenced-in acreage. Plans for the "biggest children's party ever" began last November after Queen Elizabeth suggested she would like to appear at one children's event to honor the U.N. proclaimed International Year of the Child.

It took 20 weeks to get it organized and everything was donated. I LONDON (UPI) Britain kicked off its grandest celebration of the International Year of the Child Wednesday with an exclusive two-day, by-invitation-only Great Children's Party for a mere 160,000 children. Acres and acres of London's Hyde Park became a carnival, circus and county fair and zoo for the 80,000 first-day invitees, ages 5 to 13 and picked at random from schools and institutions throughout the country. Some 60,000 of them, hundreds in wheelchairs, came to London free of charge by bus, train, boat and airplane to be on hand when the carriage from Buckingham Palace carrying Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived shortly before noon. Fireworks and thousands of white balloons filled the skies to signal the party's start and then the queen, dressed in a deep turquoise suit and matching hat, accompanied the youngsters through some of 90 different tents and walkways crowded with every imaginable child-related display.

More than 4,000 entertainers were on hand, including what must have been every drum and bugle corps in Britain. There were horses, goats, clowns, games of chance, carnival rides and a hot-dog-sized bite with mustard and bun of the world's biggest sausage. Everything was free. Eight men tugged the two-mile-long sausage off a delivery truck and into a 51-foot charcoal-heated pan made especially by British Steel to fry it. It "1 i T.

AO -j 1 '1 I i i -n 1 nv 4 1 I Happiness is a pointing that sells Gallery sells children's art works As a result, teachers are forbidden to encourage students to let the gallery sell their work. "This work is being sold at a pittance," said Ms. Goodman, pointing to a drawing priced at $6 that would net its young artist $1. "A lot of these kids are getting a token," she said, adding that one of them uses her earnings to buy more art supplies "Heaven forbid she should use it for college." "Y'ou should hear how happy they are when I call to tell them their work has been sold." Ms. Goodman thinks parents also benefit because they gain an appreciation of art, knowing someone thinks enough of their child to buy his work.

"I think kids' art work should be framed and enjoyed just like adults' art work," said Nancy Bockbrader, the gallery's co-owner. She said she makes most of her money on framing. The Philadelphia School District's art education department opposes the gallery on the grounds that it seems to smack of exploitation. "We don't want to commercialize on art of a child at an early age," said Leon Cohen, assistant director of the department. Cohen said the gallery might orient students toward profit to the detriment of creativity.

crude crayon sketches and drawings to fine paintings and ceramics usually bring $6 to $100 each. One exception was a two-foot ceramic of Ber-nie Parent, goalie of the National Hockey League's Philadelphia Flyers, by a 16-year-old youth. It sold for $300. Ms. Goodman said most of the children do not take art lessons.

She added that the works of some four-year olds are hard to sell because they are "too primitive." Bv VIVIAN ALL'KO PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -The paintings or prints on the walls of a children's art gallery in Philadelphia may not belong to the next Van Gogh or Picasso but gallery owner Marcene Goodman doesn't care. Better the works of art go on a wall, nicely framed, than in the trash can, she says. In an interview, Ms. Goodman said she opened the gallery called "First Impressions" because "I have two girls and I would just be going to their (art) classes and seeing shows and thought it was really nice." The gallery's artists are children and young adults between the ages of 4 and 19.
