Recipe Exchange . . . Home on the Range In the midst of a bad case of spring fever, I wanted to get away from shortages, fuel crises, economy, and what-not. In forgetting about these things for a while, I decided to look for unusual recipes, ones that were somewhat different than the rest, and found the following. Now to you, they may not be unusual, but to me, not being a native Lancaster Countian (nor Penn sylvanian) and living here only a few months, they are unusual. For instance, can someone tell me why “Two- Way Cookies” are so called? Indeed, all of your recipes are interesting. They are helping me learn more about this area. Keep them coming in. We have learned our pot holders will be arriving in two weeks, and then will be on their way to you as our way of saying "thanks” for your recipes.

O’Data, a realtor from Pittsburgh, is not alone in his concern when he writes to me about the mortgage market situation in Pennsylvania. Mr. O’Data in his letter said: “I believe that it would be proper and legal for you to declare a state of financial emergency in the state of Pennsylvania, due to the mortgage crunch in our state. “The construction in dustry is affected,” Mr. O’Data continues, “the prospective home buyers, the local mortgage market is on the decline due to the disregard of the public demand and the public in terest." Gov. Shapp; Since ap pointing the Governor’s Commission on Mortgage Rates and Interest in 1973 and receiving their report, I have been urging prompt passage of Senate Bill 1255 as amended . . The Bill passed the Senate this week by a vote of 442. The measure has now been sent to the House of Representatives where we are hopeful we will receive quick consideration. I believe his bill, when enacted into law, will protect the consumers in the market place and restore a degree of flexibility to mortgage rates in Pennsylvania. The amendments exclude private credit insurance from the interest rate ceiling. Insurance, which is usually needed on high risk loans, figures to about one quarter percent of the mortgage. put tyarit ate TO WORK FOR YOU Wash Your Own Cage House and Save sss WITH OUR High Pressure Rental Washing Rig.

For example, if your mortgage was $25,000, this charge would be $250. Since the arbitrary eight percent ceiling was established last year, the real estate and housing in dustries in Pennsylvania have worked under severe handicaps to provide housing for low and moderate income Pennsylvanians. The mortgage lending institutions have been literally forced to send funds out of state where higher rates prevail in order to earn a sufficient return to pay savers the newly allowable rates on savings deposits. This new revenue restores the degree of freedom of movement in mortgage rates qeeded to bring mortgage money back into the state. The formula is based on the yield from longterm - ten years or more - government bonds with a two-and-one half point add-on. This is the formula recommended by the Governor’s Commission on Mortgage and Interest Rates. The consumer protection features written into the bill include a requirement of full disclosure of the costs of residential mortgage loans as well as a 30-day notice period in advance of an attempt to foreclose a mortgage. Other consumer features are the right of the debtor to cure any default in mortgage payments and a limitation on the use of confession of judgment. ”
