With
Violation Of
Code

Vincent j. kulka, 1879 Farming
ton rd., was one of five Greater
Cleveland limited practice doctors
named in warrants issued Monday,
July 9th, on charges of the illegal
practice of medicine.
Information against the men was
filed by Laurence A. Dietrich, in
spector for the Ohio State Medical
Board, following a three months
investigation by the Better Busi-
ness Bureau.
Robert j. Drake, a Plain Deealer
reporter, and his wife were the
patients" who underwent various
treatments by the five men who
used various type of "diagnostic"
machines which the Better Busi-
ness Bureau branded as "pure
hokum."
Kulka, whose stationery defines
him as doctor of naturopathy, but
who is registered in Ohio only as
masseur, according to Dietrich,
has been convicted three. times pre-
viously for violation of the state
medical practice code. He posted
$500 cash bond with Municipal
Clerk James Blair and will be
given a hearing before Municipal
Judge Stanton Adams on July
29th.
The other four picked up on war;
rants are DR.. Franklyn D. Webster,
operator of Webster Clinic, 5006
Euclid ave.; DR.. Agnes H. Winter
ich, 1O516 Wade Park ave., NE;
DR.. Ernest J. Smith, 3400 Euclid
ave.; DR.. George R. Powell, a
veterinarian in Avon Lake.
Affidavits accompanying th e
warrants charged that all five
practitioners prescribed drugs or
gave treatment in violation of
state code.
Kulka is said to have used a
"Diagometer" to "Tune in" on in
ternal organs and to indicate types
of pills to be used in treatments.
The reporter and his wife who
worked with Better Business
Bureau and Mr.. Dietrich in ferret
ing out the violators, were dag
nosed by the machines as afflicted
with any number of ailments.
A sign on the wall in Kulka's
office titled "doctor of medicine"
from Mccormick School of Medi-
cine in Chicago checked, it is only
mailing address. He also displays
a "doctor of naturopathy" certifi-
cate from Bethel Naturopathic Col
lege in Nashville, Tenn, reported
no longer operating.
The Better Business Bureau pub
LEGATION "Facts" for July is de-
voted to a summary of the three
months investigation leading to
the issuing of warrants on Monday
and comments on the so-called
flake" machines used by the five.
Investigation is being continued.

Hi||toppers Plan
Planting At New
Caledonia Branch

Recognizing the tremendous i'm
portance good landscaping plays
in the development of a community,
Hilltop Garden Club is centering
their years club project around
their friend, Caledonia Branch Lii
brary. Aside from beautifying the
grounds when the new building is
finished, the gesture stimulates the
community cooperation so vital
between public and private groups.
To carry on this Identification
project, the club has established a
special fund of $100, to which they
hope to add as needs demand. Pro-
ceeds of this years benefit party
held June 18th make the fund pos
sible. Using it for the library
planting is in appreciation of the
many courtesies extended to the
club by the library.
Mrs. Joseph w. Millin, chairman
of community projects, and Mrs. K.
Dwight Evans, chairman of the
benefit party have notified Miss
Martha Driver, Caledonia Branch
librarian of the proposed planting.
Another community gesture in
which the club is currently inter-
ested comes up July 21st when
Hilltoppers will arrange the flow
ers for the Friday stage in Public
Music Hall on the occasion of the
convention of the National Confer
ence of the American Library As
sociation. The association convenes
July 1922.
Miss Viola Briner of the Garden
Center is in charge of the weeks
decorating as reciprocal relations
project between libraries and neigh
borhood garden clubs. Hilltop feels
complimented-to be expressing this
ideal community relationship in so
practical a manner.

Examiner Aids
In Closing Up
Old Transaction

The Bond Retirement Fund of
the East Cleveland Board of Edu-
cation is final being re-imburded
to the amount Of over $500, sum
which has been tied up in the af-
fairs of the Guardian Trust Co. At
the same time the state school ex-
aminers are authorizing payment
of $455.64 still outstanding on
coupons due, to close the account
in full.
The transaction dates back to
1888. At that time the board made
deposit with the Guardian Trust
Co. to meet certain coupons then
due. Before all bondholders had
presented their coupons for pay
ment, the funds impounded. The
account was later transferred to
the Cleveland Trust Company's
Corporate Trust Department where
it has since been held. Now the
bank is authorized to pay off the
coupon account in full and to trans.
fer the balance, $S61O.93 to the
East Cleveland Board of Educa-
tion's Bond Retirement Fund. And
the Board is happy to have the
transaction closed.
Immediately following the i'm
pounding of the deposit, the Board
of Education was ready to meet
the coupon payments with another
check, but was advised by legal
counsel that inasmuch as one de-
post had been made for this pur-
pose, it could not make another.
Thus the account has been stand
ing to this date.

Wed In Park Ceremony

liam E. Mead, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mead, 1898 Lockwood ave. were
married in the first public we'd
ding to mark an East Cleveland
Community Picnic in the two de-
cades of such outings.
The double ring ceremony, with
Rev. Thomas Short, minister of
Hayden Avenue Gospel Church Of
ficiating, took place Wednesday
evening, June 18th, at seven o'clock
at Euclid Beach Park, home of
the outings these 20 years.
Despite the fact that this was a
public wedding in a public amuse-
meAt park, the picnic committee
in charge of it had so carefully
planned all details that the cere.
mony was in keeping with the dig
nifty and the beauty such happy
occasion demands.
AS the East Cleveland Summer
band, under the direction of S.
Robert Fraser softly played the
Lohengrin Wedding March, the
bridal party stepped from the Log
Cabin and proceeded to, the nearby
platform which was a bower of
beauty. Similax and palms and two
large arrangements of white flow
ers formed a semi-circle to include
an archway of greens and white
asters, gladiolas and roses before
which the troth was plighted.
The bride was escorted to the
archway by her father who gave
her in marriage. She wore a flut-
tering ankle length gown of white
organza with a hooped skirt. The
close fitted sleeveless bodice of
embroidered organza was set off
with a flange collar which fell in
cap effect over the shoulders. The
yoke was of the plain organza.

| Scout Travels From
City To Valley Forge
Via An Ocean Voyage

The long way around is proving
the sweetest way home from inter-
national jamboree of Boy Scouts
at Valley Forge. Although Ronald
Stuart of Troop 26, lives in East
Cleveland, he set out for camp from
Scotland, where he and his mother
are spending the summer, and re-
turned there when camp days
were ended. Ronald and his mother,
Mrs. John Stewart will return to
the States next month.
The Scouts opportunity to at
tend the jamboree came unex-
pectedly. After arriving in Scot
land, Ronald lost no time in hunt
ing up and getting acquainted with
members of a Boy Scout troop
there. The upshot of it all was an
invitational trip back to the States
and Valley Forge for the historic
get-to-gether of Scouts from all
over the world.
His milage may we'll add up to
the farthest distance travelled by a
scout, in round numbers, 10000
miles,
