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.

Ask the Governor
By Gov. Milton J. Shapp
N. C. 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.

Another change allows
money lenders to tack on a
one time only one percent
service ' charge. 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. ”
