Homme warranty act to
Warranty protection for buyers
of new homes and condominiums
comes into effect December 31,
1976, Sidney Randleman,
minister of Consumer and
Commercial Relations an-
nounced recently.
Mr. Handleman said the sec-
tions of the Ontario New Homes
Warranty Act requiring
registration of all builders have
been proclaimed, and builders of
homes and condominiums must
be registered with the program
before December 31 if they ex-
pect to carry on business in this
province.
The minister also designated
the HUDAC New Home Warranty
Program, a non-profit cor-
poration, to administer the Act.
This creates the first mandatory,
industry wide, self-regulating
program in Canada.
One ministry representative
will sit on the corporation's board
of directors. The other members
will represent The Consumers
Association of Canada, the
building industry, municipalities,
and associations of mortgage
lenders, loan and insurance
companies.
The self-financing program
provides a warranty that homes
and condominiums started after
the end of this year are free from
defects for one year and from
major structural faults for an
additional four years.
PI
r
Buyers' advance payments to
the builder are protected and a
compensation fund will pay
damages if the warranty is
breached.
The registration of builders
who do not meet standards for
registration, or whodefaulton the
warranty, will be revoked py the
corporation. Complaints from
home and condominium buyers
will also be handled by the cor-
b
rorlaimed
pora tion.
Because the program is
mandatory, the government will
protect the rights of both builder
and buyer by allowing either
party to appeal corporation
decisions to the Commercial
Registration Appeal Tribunal
(CRAT).

Potatoes are often taken for
granted - at least when it comes
to planning a menu. But, for a
change why not plan the meal
around a baked potato!
A steaming hot, fluffy, baked
potato adds enjoyment to any
meal and in the same hot oven
you can cook vegetables,
casseroles, poultry, roasts or
desserts.
Potatoes are adaptable! They
can be cooked at oven tem-
peratures ranging from 325
degrees F to 425 degrees F,
depending on the foods to be
cooked with them. It's helpful to
remember that it's the higher
temperatures which produce a
crispy skin and fluffy, dry in-
terior.
Have you ever thought of a
baked potato as a "convenience
food"? Yet, what could be easier
to prepare; just scrub thoroughly
and pierce skin with a fork before
popping onto a rack in the oven.
For a baked potato with a soft
skin. rub a little butter over it
before cooking. A true baked
potato is not wrapped in foil, The
foil holds the moisture in, and so
cooks by steaming rather than
baking, resulting in a soggy in-
terior. If you want to serve the
potato in foil don't completely
wrap it before baking. Leave the
top open and prick the potato to
allow some steam to escape.
Food Advisory Services,
Agriculture Canada, suggest
potatoes can be baked at the
following temperatures. So plan a
meal that can also be cooked in
the same oven. At 325 degrees F,
bake 75 to 85 minutes; at 350
degrees F, 55 to 65 minutes; at 375
degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes; at 400
degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes; at 425
degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes.
After baking, make crosswise
or diagonal slits in the top of the
potato and pinch to allow steam
to escape,
The following toppings are
delicious with baked potatoes: -
two tablespoons dairy sour
cream or yogurt mixed with one
tablespoon green onion or chives;
French dressing; process cheese
spread; butter sprinkled with
paprika or dill seed.
For baked potatoes with a
different flavor,. Food Advisory
Services have developed "Cheese
Stuffed Baked Potatoes" and a
variation "Bacon and Mushroom
Stuffed Baked Potatoes".

6 medium baked potatoes
(about 2 pounds uncooked)
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
1,3 cup milk

potato and carefully scoop out

pepper and milk until light and
fluffy. Add cheese and onions.

and heat 15 minutes at 400
degrees F. 6 servings.
