Gladys Ratthaus, 62. and her brother, Philip Friedman, 75, were thrown from the bedroom level of the 30-year-old house into the rubble without serious injury. They were rescued from the burning debris by Ptl. John Baer and Brian Hand. Ratthaua is in good condition at Union Hospital with a broken clavi- cle. Her brother was upgradedtofair condition yesterday. He had been in guarded condition in the hospital's in- tensive care unit where he experienc- ed chest pains Sunday. Both suffered concussions. "I couldn't even tell you what hap- pened," said Ratthaus Monday from her hospital room. "I don't know how. ~I got out. They tell me I was thrown, f don't know." She said there was no smell of gas before the blast. "It sounded like dynamite," «he said. "I don't know if I was conscious or not. We were both on the top level aid suddenly I was on the first level." "She gflld Him saw walls <nd the the demolished house, trapped in rubble up to her knees. Baer pulled her out of the debris, five feet away from flames. He put the woman on his shoulder when a second, smaller explosion jolted them backward. The flames intensified around them and the force of the second blast trapped Baer inknee-deep rubble with Rat- thaus. . Baer was able to'radio for help and, at the same moment. Hand arrived. He "came in through the blaze," said Baer and lifted Ratthaus onto his shoulder and walked her to safety. Hand retrieved Friedman who was dazed and wandering about. Hand said brother and sister kept asking about the safety of each other. Ratthaus was. placed on a patrol car and covered with jackets of neighbors. Don Glucksman, a member of the First Aid Squad who lives in the area, immediately ad- ministered first aid. "We all had our job to do," said Baer. "Everyone just did their thing. It was human nature." In Ratthaus's opinion, "We have the best Police Department, First Aid Squad and Fire Department. I will vouch for that. If it were not for them, I would not be here."

Where's my brother?" When she saw Baer approach, RUtthaus said, "I got hysterical. I lost my cool." ^h Baer was the first policeman to ar- rive at the leveled house. There was a 40-foot waJU of flame in the center with several pocketSTirtlflramid the rubble. He found Friedman wander- ing at the back portion of the house. He was covered with insulation. Baer escorted him to the perimeter of the told him to stay there At the same time; Baer saw Rat- thaus about 30 feet in to the center of miraculous by Capt. Harry Wilde and Chief Robert Guertin, who said, ""it is a miracle that they got out alive." Fire Chief Leonard Dolan, who com- manded 50 firefighters at the scene, said he has seen blasts from ex- plosives that did not cause damage as extensive. "It was like a war went through that house twoor three times," Dolan said. The explosion, which was heard as far away as the Watchung Moun- tains, caused an estimated $1'4 to $2 million in damage to< the Ratthaus- Friedman house-and seven other houses onNomahegait^L Possibly one house adjacent to the blast site was moved off its foundations while six other houses sustained broken windows and cracked walls/See story on page 12. The cause of the explosion is being investigated by the Elizabethtown Gas Co. Ron Reisman, a spokesman for the utility, said it may take weeks to determine the cause. Gas com- pany crews repaired a crack in a four-inch main immediately after the explosion, but Reisman said it could not be determined whether ^he crack caused the explosion or was the result of the blast. He said in- vestigators are sifting throughthe nibble for clues and a 400-foot section of the main will be removed and analyzed. He said "we can piece things.together and reconstruct the incident." : Nearly 200 occupants of 47 homes in a twchbloek area were evacuated following the explosion until the gas company deiergiiped the area-was safe. Residents, some of whom Were bused to the Community Center, began returning home at midnight. The cleanup^began at-7 a.m. Sun- day when public works crews began clearing the area. Mangled siding beams and insulation were remo/ed lawns and rooffopTof SUJTOUTI- ding houses, and windows were 1x>arded up. " Wilde said the police win provide round-the-clock security on the block until the area is secured and salvage workers remove valuables from the debris. The disastersite also drew curiosity seekers. Liriaa Wright, who lives J= at 4he corrwx of Kenilworth Boulevard and Nomahegan, said that crowds Saturday rught resembled "the Fourth of July. People stayed in the ball park until midnight," she said. They were back again by 7:30 a.m. Sunday, trying to cut through yards. Meanwhile, Ratthaus, who has liv- ed in the house 25 years, is recover^ ing from her bruises and still' cant .company when she is healed.

The $300,000 cost Is being financed through emergency bonds and will be paid over fiveryears. for the rescue The two police officers who rescued Gladys Ratthaus and Philip Friedman Saturday from the burning rubble that seconds before had been their home w,ere, recommended for the Medal of Honor, the * highest police award. C*P.t Harry Wilde this week recommended the medals for Ptl. John Baer, a policeman for 7 M; years, and Ptl. Brian Hand, a 5-year member of the force. "They did a tremendous job," said WUdej "at great personal risk to themselves." Wilde said the Medal of Honor is reserved for situations where a police officer "puts himself at risk of life and limb." He said a special police .committee will review his recommendation to see if the officers meet the criteria of the-award "I feel certain they do," said Wilde. ','From eyewitness ac- counts, the officers entered the premises at risk to their lives. The gas was still rtetodinj'the air. They put'their lives on the' lirie to effect the rescue." One of the first people at the . disaster was Michael Glucksman, 19, who lives nearby. The scene, he said, is permanently fixed in his mind. "There were no cars there or people Just this vision of a silhouette of a man carrying a person out through the nibble with fire and HtrjftlcB behind- him_- -It was Uke- sbmething out of a war movie." Baer has received one service cita- - ' tion and Hand has several. The only N other policeman to receive the Medal of Honor was Ptl Cliff Dobbins who went into a burning nouse and rescued a woman from the second _flpor.

By ROSALIE CROSSThe word "miracle" was used

repeatedly by public safety officialsto describe the survival of the two oc-cupants of a split level house at 27Nomahegan Ct. that was demolishedby a gas explosion at 7:05 p.m. Satur-day.

Gladys Ratthaus, 62. and herbrother, Philip Friedman, 75, werethrown from the bedroom level of the30-year-old house into the rubblewithout serious injury. They wererescued from the burning debris byPtl. John Baer and Brian Hand.

Ratthaua is in good condition atUnion Hospital with a broken clavi-cle. Her brother was upgraded to faircondition yesterday. He had been inguarded condition in the hospital's in-tensive care unit where he experienc-ed chest pains Sunday. Both sufferedconcussions.

"I couldn't even tell you what hap-pened," said Ratthaus Monday fromher hospital room. "I don't know how.

~I got out. They tell me I was thrown, fdon't know." She said there was nosmell of gas before the blast. "Itsounded like dynamite," «he said. "Idon't know if I was conscious or not.We were both on the top level aidsuddenly I was on the first level.""She gflld Him saw walls <nd the

the demolished house, trapped inrubble up to her knees. Baer pulledher out of the debris, five feet awayfrom flames. He put the woman onhis shoulder when a second, smallerexplosion jolted them backward. Theflames intensified around them andthe force of the second blast trappedBaer in knee-deep rubble with Rat-thaus. .

Baer was able to'radio for help and,at the same moment. Hand arrived.He "came in through the blaze," saidBaer and lifted Ratthaus onto hisshoulder and walked her to safety.Hand retrieved Friedman who wasdazed and wandering about. Handsaid brother and sister kept askingabout the safety of each other.

Ratthaus was. placed on a patrolcar and covered with jackets ofneighbors. Don Glucksman, amember of the First Aid Squad wholives in the area, immediately ad-ministered first aid.

"We all had our job to do," saidBaer. "Everyone just did their thing.It was human nature."

In Ratthaus's opinion, "We havethe best Police Department, FirstAid Squad and Fire Department. Iwill vouch for that. If it were not forthem, I would not be here."

"It was like a war wentthrough that house two or threetimes," Dolan said.

The explosion, which was heard asfar away as the Watchung Moun-tains, caused an estimated $1'4 to $2million in damage to< the Ratthaus-Friedman house-and seven otherhouses on Nomahegait^L Possibly

one house adjacent to the blast sitewas moved off its foundations whilesix other houses sustained brokenwindows and cracked walls/Seestory on page 12. •

The cause of the explosion is beinginvestigated by the ElizabethtownGas Co. Ron Reisman, a spokesmanfor the utility, said it may take weeksto determine the cause. Gas com-pany crews repaired a crack in afour-inch main immediately after theexplosion, but Reisman said it couldnot be determined whether he crackcaused the explosion or was theresult of the blast. He said in-vestigators are sifting through thenibble for clues and a 400-foot sectionof the main will be removed andanalyzed. He said "we can piecethings.together and reconstruct theincident.": Nearly 200 occupants of 47 homes

in a twchbloek area were evacuatedfollowing the explosion until the gascompany deiergiiped the area-wassafe. Residents, some of whom Werebused to the Community Center,began returning home at midnight.

He said a special police .committeewill review his recommendation tosee if the officers meet the criteria ofthe-award "I feel certain they do,"said Wilde.

New signs are emerging aUbe Ja i lOaks Rest Area to encourage people

; to use bathjoams to the south instead

Assemblyman Peter Genovat saidone of the major changes Is a newsigh that advises "Rest Room

15 Miles Ahead'* asFacilitiesmotorists approach the, rest areafrom the southbound parkway.

That's an encouragement for thosein search of facilities to use the in-door plumbing at the stop beyond theRaritairPhua.

Paradoxically, the signage altera-tions were requested by Genova inAugust, five weeks before Tall Oak?became a pronounced state and localissue in the wake nf *m*t±

for lewdness there. Hazel Gluckrstate transportation commissioner,told Gcnova a few weeks later shewould look into the matter.-

At the left entrance to the restarea, the previous "Roselle ParkCranford Next Right" will be chang-ed to "Keep Right" Instead of "NextRight," and a secoiid'markerbelow itwill read "Rest Area Only" with anarrow pointing off to Tall Oaks atthat point. The previous signage hasprompted many motorists to enterthe rest area with the thought thatthey are leaving the parkway for Ex-it 137.

On the right hand side of the en-trance is a new speed restriction signadvising motorists that the rampspeed is 25 miles per hour. Thatreplaces an old "exit" speed limitsign. The "exit" speed marker, alsonew, will be placed at the actual exitto North Ave^at Exit 137, south ofTall Oaks. That adds up to foursignage changes.

Genova said he has reviewed thealterations submitted by Carolyn Mc-Callum, assistant to state transporta"tion commissioner Hazel Gluck, andthat "they look good to me." The

. changes khpuld anlvo prnhlomw at thoarea, he said.

New sign goes up: state Department ofTransportation placed this advisory on theGarden State Parkway to steer those In searchof a rest room Indoors beyond Rarltan Plaza,

The signage alterations follow thefencing off of the woods around thepaved rest stop in an effort to deter,lewdness in the area. After 25 peoplewere charged by state and localauthorities with lewdness over a twoday period in September, Genova"and Assemblyman Chuck Hardwlck,working with Cranford neighbors andofficials, sought to have Tall Oaksclosed and a study, made. However,the state came up with the newsecurity elements and then thesignage changes.

The work will be completed withintwo weeks, said Genova.

A nickel-a-gallon gasoline tax in-crease has been proposed to helpfinance the state's $4 billion highwayand mass transit construction pro-gram. The goal is to renew theTransportation Trust Fund which ex-pires June 30. Gov. Kean is suppor-ting the tax increase proposed byHazel Gluck, transportation commis-sioner.

The. measure was introduced byAssemblyman Robert Franks ofScotch Plains. It would increase theeight centgaulinfe tax and the elevencent ^UefcT~f3eb tax by ftvft cehtSeach.

Conversion proposals and challenges prompt fresh reyiew of North Avenue zoningBy ANGELA CATILLO

Facing a legal challenge on an ap-proval granted for the conversion ofa home to an office on North AvenueJEast, the Cranford Planning.Boardintends, to establish a committee toexamine the medium density Office-2zone along the southerly side of thestreet. At its meeting last Wednes-day, the-board turned down the thirdapplication it has heard in the pastsix months for a home conversionthere. (See related story.)

Henry Dreyer Jr., board chair-man, said at last week's meeting thatthe Planning Board may recommend

~a-tt>ningchange on the avenue, basedoi* findings of a committee he plansto appoint to evaluate the Office-2zone there. Dreyer acknowledgedthat there are problems with thezone, which have^surfacSd at hear-

ings before the board, and said "noone seems to be able to come up withan idea to correct the problem."

He suggested three options in-cluding (i) turning homes along thesouth side of North Avenue East intocommercial properties," (2) tighten-ing up the existing office'zone ormaking rear and (3) sideyard set-bfick requirements deeper.

"I think to do nothing is not cor-rect," he said, "and I think -to freezethe property is also not correct."Dreyer said he plans to appoint com-mittee^members within the next twoweeks. .

A civil law suit appealing theboard's unanimous approval of a con-version of No. 306 to a doctor's officehas been filed in Superior Courtagainst the Planning Board by LouisB. Gavin and Meritt B. Gavin, at-

torneys who have their office at_No.198 to the east.

In approving the conversion inAugust, the board granted variancesfor'lot width and area, and'exceptionfrom parking requirements whilelimiting the use of the building to onlyone doctor to avoid parking pro-blems. Also granted were exceptionsfor driveway width, parking area set-back and parking aisle width.

The Office-2 zone where No. 306owned by Dr. and Mrs. Elizer Lim,and Gavin's property are situated re-quires a 100-foot wide lot with anarea of 15,000 square feet. Thetownship's master plan recommendsthe medium density office use in thatarea to "maximize use of the GardenState Parkway for access" andeliminate "unnecessary trafficJhrough the Central Business

eb"

Many of the lots in the area are 50feet wide therefore requiring anassemblage of properties to meet thezoning regulations for medium-density offices. Residents of theneighborhood, however, have in re-cent years objected to the larger of-fice use and have come out in supportof Home conversions to small officeswhich would maintain existing struc-tures on smaller lots.

A| the hearing for No. 306, themedical office conversion, neighborsstrongly supported Dr. Lim sayuuzthey were "pleased to see that Jabuilding in proportion to theneighborhood and ui scale _ to theneighborhood is seeking to remain inthe neighborhood."

The Gavins, however, claim thatthe board's approval of the applica-

tion was "ill-advised" and that thenumber of variances granted was"far too many." They also contendthat the board failed to consider theapplication for a doctor'? office as aconditional use in the 0-2 zone, whichcan only be approved if the ute meetsall the requirements of the zoning or-dinance, i,

David Zurav, attorney for theGavins, said his clients have filedsuit "to protect the integrity of thezoning ordinance, and the masterPlan."

For ihei birds: reiilientauks buzz-the wavetops

When that's gone they run I:around trying a pteeeof millet there4;-J;a sunflower seed there while juncos \«knd doves try to aVoid them.

It's easy to see In the birds thesame issue that bothers people." Welike the cardinals because they'repretty, the chickadees becauseIhte^

Murres. Puffins and Guillemots,residents of the lands encompassedby the Arctic Circle, are relatives ofthe Auks. Aukets and- Murrelets,birds' that swarm about islands offthe coast of Alaska or in the BeringSea, are also related to the Auks. r

Fishermen trawling off the WelshCoast or Bretons fishing ill the New-foundland seas never saw penguins.But they did see plenty of Auks asthey hauled in their catches. To thosefamiliar only with the plasticpenguins used by suburbanhomeowners to decorate their lawnin the winter, replacing the plasticflamingo that keeps warm in thegarage while the snow lira on theground, there's no ..difference W -

with the Great Auk. Now extinct, thisflightless bird looked like a Penguinand nested froth near the Arctic Cir-cle south to Massachusetts.

French fishermen who cast theirnets off Newfoundland as early as1497 called this bird Pingouin(Penguin). Consequently, the con-troversy regarding the source of thename for the comical Penguin con-tinues to rage." »

The probable cause lurking behindthe extirpation of the Great Auk wasits value as food for seamen. Prepar-ing to leave port in Europe, sea cap-tains did not provision their vesselsto the gunnels. Instead they reliedupon the enormous number of GreatAuks for fresh meat.

The incessant pressure placedupon this bird through the centuriesfinally caused its extinction. The last' XGreat Auk was observed off the coast-—of Newfoundland about 1825.

Fishing is great sport and a com-mendable occupation, but casting anet for Auks is not "for the birds."

The fire was still burning and attimes I could not see in front of mebecause the smoke was so thick.

On front lawns there was mangledaluminum siding. The roof tops in thesurrounding area were scarred withdebris. The street was littered withlarge pieces of metal, branches andwires.

The feeling in the air was tensewith the wires ttov^n and a possiblesecond explosion.

- By STUART AWBREYPeople can protect themselves

against natural gas explosions bydetecting gas odors, looking attial sources and ventilating to Imix with air and escape.

By nature, natural gas iscolorless I M tasteless.. Todetection, chemists added a strongpungent odor to jiatural gas years4gOr A chemical called Ethyl mer-captan is the odorant In the words ofRon i Reisman, spokesman forEliiibethtown Gas Co., it injects adistinctive "rotten eggs smeU."

By coincidence, a santple smell isavailable to all gas consumers thismonth. The gas company is including"scratch and sniff" stuffers in itsJanuary bills. The safety reminderdevice was scheduled "before theNomahegan Court disaster, Reisman

The cause of Saturday's explosionis under investigation See story onPag^l).

People can pick up the odor inhomes or offices if it is miniscule inproportion to their atmosphere. It'sdetectable at a level of odly one per-cent gas and 99 percent air. That'sconsiderably below the flammablelevel. Gas doesn't become flam-mable until the mix rises to 5 percentgas with 95 percent air, and it seldomexplodes, unless it is in an enclosed,non-ventilated area. ,

Elirabethtown says that if youdetect gas, the first thing .to check isthe pilot light in a gas range, whichmight have gone out by cleaning.

If the odor is strong and you can'tfind the source immediately, the bestthing to do is to Ventilate by openingwindows and doors quickly, Ventila-tion will defuse gas, which is lighterthan air and defuses naturallyr

Ventilation also minimizes thedanger from explosion which hap-pens only if the gas builds up in anenclosed area. Reisman said gas nor-mally burns and rarely explodes

PUBUC NOTICES

"~* '.

By ROSALIE GROSSParents and students made their

feelings very clear to high school ad-ministrators Tuesday night Theyare opposed to the proposed elimina-tion of fifth year foreign languagecourses and the. implementation ofadvanced .placement physics* andchemistry in alternate years.

The opinions were expressed at-anopen forum conducted by RobertSoyfnrtr., PranfofH High School prin-dpal, on a proposed curriculum revi-sion. While major consolidation ofcourses took place 2 years ago, thecurrent proposed revision primarilyaffects the foreign language depart-ment. The" proposaT~aTSb "wouldeliminate foreign languages at eighthgrade. \

following a department-by-department review - of the cur-riculum, many of the 75 in atten-dance spoke in opposition to the pro-posal which will be discussed by theBoard of Education at its Feb. 9workshop meeting. The consensus ofthe audience Tuesday was that theforeign language and sciencechanges would reduce the academicopportunities for gifted students.

Seyfarth, who prepared the reportfollowing a committee review byeach department, said he wouldrawer retain all courses offered andeven "add a couple," but he told theaudience "to bear in mind that theCranford High School enrollment isshrinking radically." He said thatwhile there are 50 percent fewerstudents than in 1973 when he came toCHS, "the breadth of interest has not

Charles Mahnken, chairman of theforeign language department, saidthat while he would favor expansionof languages into the first grade, hewould go along with the "retention ofa strong four-year, program of fourlanguages rather than the loss of twolanguages." He suggested an "ex-ploratory" program at the juniorhigh school level of introducing one

Students Harold Reeves and AlanCanzano objected to alternate yearsfor the advanced placement sciencecourses. They said that every otheryear juniors would be forced to takeAJPJ physics before they bave takenthe requisite math courses.Seyfarth said that would probablyresult in some students not being ableto take A.P. physics. _ •

Seyfarth recommended that advanc-ed placement physics 'and chemistrybe offered in alternate years. Enroll-ment is five students in one and six inanother. if _•

Several students who-are takingthe fifth year of a language spoke infavor of retaining the courses. Deb-bie Cermele said she is "first startingto put together ~wnat I learned in thefirst four years" of French. She saidother school systems begin foreignlanguages in fifth grade and also of-fer advanced placement in thehumanities. She said elimination offifth year language would putstudents intending to major in that atcollege at a disadvantage. Jose de losRibs also said he is learning more inSpansh V this year than in the first

tion of programs for gifted studentsat the secondary level. She dted theproposed elimination of eighth gradelanguage, "diluting" honors classesby opening them to more students,and the proposed cuts discussedTuesday. "We have fewer giftedstudents," she said, "because enroll-ment is going down, but we can'teliminate classes for them," Mrs.'Cirillo suggested a new programmight bet needed for gifted students'at the secondary level. "We can'tshortchange them," jhe said. fi-

Other proposals discussed Tuesdayinclude the substitution of a writingcourse for thtvoBfciemester EnglishIV course. The emphasis wouldswitch from a literature-orientedcourse to writing.

HopefuLnote: sewercosts drop by 35%

The fact that Cranfordresidents are shipping propor-tionately less waste into sanitarysewers than its neighbors has ledto an unexpected blessing: adramatic cutback in sewerageexpenses.

Between them, Cranford andMountainside will realize a 35percent savings in their bill to theRahway Valley SewerageAuthority(RVSA) this year, Thatrepresents a savings of $300,964attd% one of thefew bright spotsin a generally dim local budgetpicture. Ttok total price_ for thetwo communities wuTbe $548,842,down from $849,806 last year.

The lower price stems frommore accurate measurements ofexit flow of sanitary waste fromCranford. Those measurementsshow that Cranford has been pay-ing more than its ishare ofsewerage charges since 1979,when costs were apportioned on,h basis of average daily flow

««4 by aging meters.ManiT Patel, township

engineer, said. Cranfprd paid16:W percent of the total bill overthe past seven years. During thatperiod the town used less than

half of the 10.5 million gallons perday of flow rights that it owns.

The antiquated meters havebeen replaced. Now, Patel says,Cranford is paying only 10.54 per-cent of the total bill. Thatrepresents a 54 percent drop inthe township's proportional shareof -the system ,wlde costs. Indollar terms, this translates intoa 35 percent lower cost.

That drop covers both Cranfordand Mountainside, which are forbilling purposes measuredtogether because the borough is

'not'a member of RVSA feuthasaccess to the system throughCranford, which passes throughcosts to its neighbor to the nor-thwest.

Mountainside has been seekingfull membership in RVSA forseveral years. Paul LaCorte,Cranford mayor, said theborough is now suing the authori-ty and its member towns for notallowing it to join. Edward J.Murphy, town, administrator,says the borough wants to useCranford s flow rights withoutpaying for it. That story is onPage 5.
