Parents Invited to Cub Pack 53 Meeting A joint meeting of Cub ipaster , Assistant Cubmaster , Pack Com- mitteemen , Den Mothers, Den Chiefs, and Parents will ho held at the Elks Home, Barnstable Road , Hyannis , Wednesday, September 7, nt 8 p.m. The meeting is for grown-ups only, and nil other mothers are in- vite d who have boys of 8, tho Cub ago. The meeting i , being held under the auspices of iiyaunls Cub Pack 63, Myron Sandler, Cubmaster, Barnstable (The Alvln J. Tuck family , who hove been visiting relatives in Cen- tervllle, operate a family jewelry business In their home town ot Brookfield , Connecticut. Mr. Tuck has written for the Patriot on a phase ot the business concerning the curative powers of copper bracelets, which we found of so much Interest as to pass it on to our readers.—Ed itor.) The Society of Connecticut Crafts- men was organized to help develop art and craft work among those who had such training and were not earning through their ability. After several exhibits were held it was apparent that handcraft cos- tume Jewelry was a popular item to develop. Copper being a nice ma- terial and not too expensive, we made pins, bracelets, etc, in styles that could be hammered and chased into beautiful effects. Later many people told us that copper was good for arthritis and then near relatives wore them and found some relief. When stories from boys In our Navy in the South Pacific came to us that doctors on the ships had them wear copper to prevent stiff- ness of arthritis, we became inter- ested in learning more. Early Colonial history relates that Indians wore copper bracelets on their arms and this is verified by the historical movies showing Indians In native costumes weaving copper arm bands to complete the costumes. Further search through the De- partment of the Interior , Indian Division , uncovers about 1500 books and bulletins relative to Indian lore. A bulletin from Smithsonian Insti- tute quotes as follows. "There it much evidence that Implements as well as ornaments and other objects of copper were regarded as having exceptional virtues and magical powerB , and certain early writers aver that some of the tribes of the Great Lakes held all copper as sacred." Search Is being continued to find something definite as handed down from Indian tribes. The State Arche- ological Museums have dug up cop- per bracelets found In the burial mounds , some of which are exhi- bited in museums. In following the search through scientific medical sources, we found little of record, but none of these sources discouraged the Idea and none claimed copper could do harm. The American Medical Associa- tion chemical laboratory suggested having an analytical laboratory make tests from the angle of*or- ganlc chemistry. Directory of Re- search Division of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Navy, Wash- ington , D. 0„ writes they have not found records of the use of copper , but says "we want you to know we appreciate your Interest in med- ical research ." The Doctor who writes for the two largest news- papers In the United States says he thinks wearing copper bracelets could do no harm and refers to the Index Medicus for a research of more definite Information. To prove that the bracelet turns dark from wearing is simple. Take two bracelets newly polished, leave one on your bureau and wear the other and compare them for color each day. The one you wear will turn dark , while the one on the bureau remains bright as new. Since April over 300 people are now wearing our bracelets and many are asking for more for their Mends . One lady sent for 21 brace- lets to date, after wearing her first pair. Artists working with copper have always colored their work with weak solutions ot acid nnd salts by wetting the surface. A very similar color is obtained by the substance drawn through the skin proving that chemicals are with! drawn from a person's body. To make bracelets more effective they are not lacquered , BO they will ah- sorb more ,1(ll( .kl y The Used B electrolytic copper obtained i» dissolving ordinary copper in an electrolyte and reforming this Contin uiJ on Page ' / Story of Copper in Medicinal Bracelets (Barnstable Municipal Airport) Favorable weather conditions and the impending Labor Day weekend boosted aircraft traffic over the weekend out at tho Hyannis Air- port , with exactly 100 transient planes logged in over the period.
