Clayton R. Maud told the story of the loss of the First Baptist Church of New Market by fire over Radio Station WOR yesterday afternoon. The pastor appeared on John Gambling's program. Mr. Gam' bhng told his audience if they cared to give something to restore the church they could send the contributions to Mr.

Maud in New Market. He has received $35 from radio listeners since three young men from the church appeared on his program on March 22 and asked Mr. Gambling if he would serve as master of ceremonies if they sponsored a fund-raising affair. The church was burned to the ground on March 16. Mr.

Maud said on the program that members of the congregation have visited newly built churches and have estimated that it would cost to replace the loss. The he thought, i Court Rules Man Stephenville, Luck Home Owners Henry Street Fire Sends Firemen Off In All Directions The problem today is, "Where is Henry street?" Sunday morning the Metuchen police received a call that the fields beside Henry street were on fire. So they dispatched a police car to check before sounding the fire alarm and calling volunteer firemen out of church. The car arrived very quickly at Henry street which runs parallel to the Pennsylvania railroad from Grove avenue to Barnstable street. But not a flame nor a wisp of smoke was in sight.

So the Metuchen cops went into a huddle with themselves and decided the fire could very well be on Henry street in the Midwood section of Raritan township off Oak Tree road. Metuchen police headquarters called township police headquarters and shortly fire engines from the H. K. fire company on Charles strelet were fighting a fire off Henry street, just around the corner from the fire house and about half a block away. But firemen aren't peeved, or at least one of them is not "How could you expect a man to know he lives in Raritan township" he said "when he has a Metuchen telephone number and gets his mail addressed to Iselin, which is in Woodbridge township? It was just lucky it wasn't a house." DOG CENSUS BEGUN BY TOWNSHIP POLICE PISCATAWAY TOWNSHIP, April 1 Police have started the dog census and at the same time are issuing licenses to those who have not obtained 1952 licenses for their dogs.

Quotes Ordinance The section of the health ordinance under which Mr. Van Sickle will take action reads: "That the placing of house sew age, waste fluids or fouled liquids on me suriace of the ground in such a matter as to become the source from which offensive odors shall emanate or in such manner as to pollute the ground, air or water or in such a manner as to endanger the purity of any water or any well, stream, pond or lake. or the discharge of such sewage or nuias into the street or highway is hereby declared to be a nuisance and any person or tier- sons who shall cause or maintain or who shall aid in causing or maintaining any such nuisance shall be liable to a penalty of $25." The ordinance also provides that if any person who is convicted of a violation fails to pay the fine and the cost of the suit within two days after conviction, such person may be committed to jail for "a period not exceeding 20 days." The board of health action, Mayor Forgione said, places the responsibility where it belongs, on the shoulders of the property owners involved. "But," he added," the township is willing to help.

The next step is up to them." Commissioner Eggert said the state decision was made known to the commissioners last Wednesday. Following a meeting of the Board of Commissioners and brief meeting of the Board of Health the health board meeting was adjourned until last night. P.T.A. BOARD TO MEET EAST BRUNSWICK, April 1 The executive board of the Wade-Wcstons Mill Parent-Teacher Association will meet tonight at 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J.

Alden Criswell of Arthur street, Tanners Coiner. Sewage Nuisance cally every meeting of the Board of Commissioners and Board of Health during the past year, About a year ago the township ordered Thomas Hanson, town ship attorney, to seek an in junction to halt additional con struction. This was held in abey ance after engineers for the Fed oral Housing Administration and inspectors from the state depart ment of health surveyed the area Envisioned Solution At that time it was announced that the investigators believed that remedial engineering planned by the developer would solve the sewage disposal and drainage problems. After continuing complaints from residents the state department of health conducted a hearing in Trenton about a month ago. The 90-day abatement order to the township grew out of state findings of that hearing.

Before the state decision was announced the commissioners, who are the men who also comprise the Board of Health, met with a committee of Stephenville home owners on March 18. During that meeting the com missioners told the residents that the township would arrange for a pnekage treatment plant if the residents would install the sewer mains and connections. This offer still stands, Mayor Forgione said last night. He said it could serve, by gravity, an area of the north end of the township slightly larger than the Stephenville de velopment. This package plant could not serve the Luck Homes development, the mayor said.

Stephenville lies north of Metuchen toward plainfield while the Luck Homes development is clustered around Farmhaven avenue off Ordered to End RARITAN TOWNSHIP. April 1 Home owners in the Stephen ville and Luck Home develop ments will be given two weeks to abate health nuisances caused by overflowing septic tanks or face prosecution in the Municipal Court. The township may help Stephenville residents by install ing a package sewage treatment plant. Meeting in an adjourned session last night, the township Board of Health instructed G. Stanley Van sickle, health officer, to order the home owners to immediately abate the health nuisances under section four of the township neaitn ordinance.

This provides fines up to $25 or 20 days in the county workhouse for maintain ing a health nuisance. The action followed a ruling announced in Trenton yesterday in wnich the btate Department of: Health ordered the township Board of Health to correct the conditions within 90 days or face action in state courts. Commissioner Brace Eggert, president of the local health board, said notices will be sent to the home owners today bv res- istered mail. Unless action is taken within two weeks sum monses will be issued and the owners will be brought before Magistrate Christian J. Jorgensen.

"We have been lenient," Mavor James C. Forgione said." We have been tolerating these conditions and have been trying to work with the residents of the developments to help them. But they bought the houses and legally are responsible for the health nuisances that exist." Complaints about conditions in the Stephenville development have been made during practi PUPILS REGISTER FOR KINDERGARTEN A EUAN TOWNSHIP, April 1 The annual preliminary enrollment for children who will enter kindergarten in September will cegin here tomorrow.

Scrap Metal Pile Of Cops Mistaken For Junkyard RARITAN TOWNSHIP, April 1 That "junk yard" at Old Post road and Wooding avenue isn't what it seems to be. Dozens of residents have called Mayor James C.

Forgione, other commissioners and the police department in the last few days complaining about a junkyard that has recently opened in the old and M. Lumber Company property. But that pile of scrap is not a junkyard. Instead it is the temporary storage place for scrap metal that has been collected by the civil defense auxiliary police in house-to-house collections. The cops, the auxiliary cops and township officials hope that pile will grow and grow.

Profits from it will be used to buy the civil defense auxiliary men items of equipment that are not included in the regular civil defense issue. Carl Barrata, owner of the yard, gave permission to the auxiliary cops to use it. Each piece of scrap added to the pile will aid the cops and will also aid the nation's defense efforts by helping to get in the scrap the steel industry needs so badly. Greater 375 GEORGE STREET, 1 Robert D. Zullinger Jr.

Mr. Jorgensen called on former county prosecutor Matthew Melko and Meyer Cohn, attorneys, who were waiting for other cases to make the inspection. Mr. Melko and Mr. Cohn agreed that while Mr.

Zullinger's car was "very dirty" there was no evidence of any collision. The inspection was made by the two lawyers on the municipal parking lot.

MAKF TOM KNICKfRBOCKEHI would contribute $60,000 while, besides the insurance, there would be an additional $65,000 needed to build. The pastor commented on the wonderful attitude of his congregation.

While the church was burning early on the Sunday morning, he said, some of the men went to the Seventh Day Baptist Church, which has been unused.
