While serving as president, Howells attended a number of child education conferences. She helped restructure the Primary's curriculum and helped create the "Children's Friend of the Air", a radio program broadcast for children. The radio segment was only 15 minutes and began in June 1946. Children submitted poetry to be read on the air, and were asked to talk on the air about their hobbies and interests. In 1948, Howells contributed to a television program called "Junior Council". The show was broadcast weekly, and involved children answering questions from a studio audience. However, it later shifted its focus to highlight DIY projects for children. Howells also helped the Primary children collect and donate money for the This is the Place Monument in the park its housed in.
