This Is Serious Business - Three young believers listened intently when that bewhiskered old gentleman Santa (Evashevski) Claus -- began questioning them about their behavior during a personal visit to the annual children's Christmas party in Hill auditorium yesterday afternoon. St. Nick caused more excitement than the movie comedies, magic tricks, music and refreshments.

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.

A Merrier Christmas: A tricycle for six-year-old David Bauer, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer of 65 Westover St., made Christmas brighter for the entire family. David, stricken with polio in September, 1954, was not expected to walk again. Christmas Day, 1954, found him flat in bed. But here - a year later - he's perched on his tricycle, wearing his best suit, corset and chin brace, as well as a wide grin.
