FOUR YEARS TO BUILD 'PUTZ': Mrs. Karl C. Kern, 551 S. Fifth St., and her daughter, Esther, teacher in the Wyandotte Schools, spent more than four years collecting materials and building the 'Moravian putz," or Christmas garden, shown above. This garden is a pictured story of the Nativity, built around the base of three small Christmas trees. It is modeled after a similar picturization described in a 1926 copy of the Ladies Home Journal. The scene shows figures of the Nativity, camels, sheep, shepherds, donkeys, three Wise Men, a cave, desert and palm trees.
