Charges Filed Against Syracuse Physician Following Altercation

Charges were filed in Warsaw city court last Monday by Kosciusko county prosecuting attorney Allan Rasor against Dr. William L. Meyers of Syracuse. r Dr. Meyers was charged with assault and battery by Brad Jones of r 4 Syracuse. Jones took a neighbor to the doctor’s office on Monday for treatment of an injured finger. After Dr. Meyers had treated the finger the two men got into a discussion about a bill Dr. Meyers said Jones owes him. Jones said later he had not received a statement for same. During the discussion, Dr. Meyers said he asked Jones two or three times to leave the office and finally ordered him out. Then, according to reports, the doctor struck Jones. Jones said, “the next thing I knew I was flying out the back door of the office.” The fight caused a disturbance in the office and Mrs. Meyers, who was serving as the doctor’s secretary for the day, heard the fight along with a number of persons in the waiting room. The doctor said he considered the action justifiable and notified authorities after “throwing” Jones out of the back door. Dr. Meyers said he decided not to take further action at that time. Jones went to the Murphy Med-icaf-Center at Warsaw for X-rays and treatment and then to Rasor’s office to file the charges.

Quick Steamed Plum Pudding If you have always been reluctant to make a traditional Christmas plum pudding because of the hours of steaming time involved, use your pressure cooker, suggests Miriam Eads, Purdue university extension foods and nutrition specialist. The recipe suggested by Miss Eads requires only about an hour’s steaming in a pressure cooker instead of the six or eight hours usually needed when traditional steaming methods are us- ’ ed. Here is Miss Eads’ recipe for English Plum Pudding, using a four - quart pressure cooker: *4 cup sugar 1 well-beaten egg H cup ground suet *4 cup milk * Vi cup each - currants and raisins 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Vi teaspoon each - alspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt Vi teaspoon cloves H cup coarsely chopped, walnuts Combine first three ingredients and mix until smooth, Add milk, currants and raisins. Sift dry ingredients together and add gradually. Mix well and add nuts. Place pressure cooker rack in cooker, then put in five cups water. Turn pudding batter into buttered mold or coffee can that fits loosely in cooker. Cover mold or can with waxed paper and place on cooker rack. After fastening pressure cooker cover, allow steam to flow from vent pipe for 20 minutes. Then put indicator on vent pipe and steam 50 minutes, following instructions for your cooker. Allow steam indicator to return to down position before removing cover. Plum pudding is usually served hot. You may freeze the pudding and re-warm it before serving.
