DOWSING: Dowsing is another name for water witching
with divining rods. According to Ostrander & Schroeder
(Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain), the Rus
sians have found that divining rods maybe made of metal
or of living wood. Dried up wood does not work. A living
human must hold them: they will notworkalone. Leather
insulates against their functioning. Shafica Karagulla in
her excellence book, Breakthrough to Creativity, refuses
to divulge this information, for fear the Russians will get
ahold of it. Rubber hoses also inhibit the effect of the
water flowing within them, although standing on rubber
sheets does not, so the turbulence of flow must be con
trolling.
The rods come in several forms, the standard Y. and
angled L's, and “e” loops, and others. They maybe
used to locate water, minerals, hollow spaces in the
earth.
The Russians have found that all women will attract
such rods, as will some men. Other men will repel at
shoulder level, attract at stomach level, and vice versa,
No correlations as yet with anything, but think of the
possibilities!
Our own Henry Gross, as described by Kenneth Rob
erts. had a dowsing rod that would work even from a
map of terrain several hundred miles distant. He once
located water in Bermuda while in the continental
U. S. A. He could ask the rod how deep the water was
below the surface, and how plentiful. He played a kind of
20 questions game to elicit yes or no answers. And he
could lead the rod into mineral sideline explorations.
On the other hand, the Russians walk over the territory
to be explored, and set the rod to revolving. If they
proceed too fast, they outrun the rod. and they must be
careful not to allow the gyrating rod to nudge the nose of
the bearer, lest blood spill all over the water find. The
faster the rod spins, the greater the yield.
They claim that water seeping in capillary action gives
the best results. A raging river radiates little response,
except in eddies at the shores. Thus a turbulent field of
force seems most favorable, to them.
Yet Gross seemed to favor aquafers similar to water
pipes, with a ready flow. The effect from flowing water
appeared to radiate in planes passing through the lines
of flow coaxially, and tilted at 45 degree separations
around a circle normal to the flow, much like the fins
on a dart. This 45 degree spaced pattern of radials seems
to be evidenced by growing plants, too, with the stalk
carrying the water flow. We might conclude that Gross
had a hold on one corner of the phenomenon, the Rus
sians another.
In the U. S. A. dowsing has become quite respectable
in recent years. Utility companies employ it to locate
buried pipes and cables, and the army depends on it to
discover tunnels and traps in Viet Nam. The United
States Patent Office has granted a patent (No. 2,482,773)
on a kind of dowsing device, called the Hieronymous
machine, after its inventor. This is an adjustable spec
troscope, for sorting out the eloptic radiations of samples
of matter. It uses an old neutrodyne radio amplifier, hot
or cold, but refuses to function with a broken tube. It
has also been persuaded to analyze matter with a paper
sketch substituting for the pickup coil.

Gambrell “Confident”,
Looks Toward Runoff
ATLANTA (PRN) - U. S.
Senator David H. Gambrell has
kicked off his runoff campaign
by stating that he will
continue to go directly to the
average Georgia people
themselves, for votes, and
refrain from seeking the
endorsement of any of the
“power brokers” of the state.
He also announced that he will
meet his opponent Sam Nunn
in televised debates in every
section of Georgia. Gambrell,
who ran a strong first in the
democratic senatorial primary
told a primary night gathering
of supporters in Atlanta, “The
results prove that our support
is widely based and uniform in
nearly every precinct in
Georgia. We are going to win
this race on my record and not
through the manipulations of
any politicians, power brokers,
vote swappers, or opinion
molders.” Os the 42 areas with
more than 10 thousand
population, Gambrell carried
28 of them, well over twice as
many as his nearest opponent.
In comparing Mr. Nunn’s
record with his own, Gambrell
stated, “My opponent says he
will ‘get tough in Washington’.
Why should Georgia people
think that he can ‘get tough’
in Washington when he hasn’t
been tough in the Georgia
General Assembly,” Gambrell

THIS WE BELIEVE! IF YOU FIRST SUBMIT, YOU will LATER SURRENDER. ”, . . and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore. ?’ Ephesians6:l3,l4
asked. “In the four years he
has been in the General
Assembly Sam Nunn hasn’t
accomplished one thing,
except to try to cut up a
congressional district so that
he could run for Congress.
Well, I say that the people of
Georgia want someone who
will be effective in Washington
and Sam Nunn just isn’t
effective. My record over the
past 18 months has proven
that I can effectively represent
the people of Georgia in the
United States Senate.
Gambrell went on to cite
several pre-primary
endorsements of Nunn
labeling them “incredible”. “A
man must have a pretty mixed
up record,” Gambrell said, “if
he can attract endorsements
from such a mixed up
assortment of power brokers
as the Atlanta Constitution
and Marvin Griffin.” Gambrell
evoked laughter from
supporters when he suggested
that Nunn take Atlanta
Constitution editor, Reg
Murphy out of Atlanta and let
him travel with him around
the state. On the question of
endorsements, Gambrell said
that the only endorsements he
would continue to seek was
the “goodwill and support of
the everyday people of
Georgia, not the fat cats or the
vote swappers.” Gambrell

Athletic
Jimmy Howe, son of Mr, and
Mrs. Jesse Howe, Rte 1, Hort,
ense, Ga. was awarded a full
3 year Athletic Scholarship in
June 1972 from East Carolina
University, Greenville, N.C. to
which he will be returning on
August 19th.
Because of Jimmy’s out.
standing Football Record in
High School he was nominated
and selected twice, the last
time as one of two Georgians,
included in “Who’s Who In
High School Athletics”, an an
nual National Publication, it is
questioned whose “collar”
Nunn would wear to
Washington, as a result of
these endorsements.
In a press conference the
following day, Gambrell
challenged Nunn to a series of
live televised debates in every
section of the state. “Let him
attack me to my face,”
Gambrell challenged, “I
welcome a good scrap.”
Gambrell reminded reporters
that at a meeting of the
Georgia College Newspaper
Association in early May, Sam
Nunn had promised to keep
from conducting any personal
attacks on any candidate,
however, “within 10 days, he
began a television campaign
smearing me, my family and
my associates with the worst
kind of insinuations and
falsehoods. I think that my
performance on the Senate
floor in behalf of various
legislations including
anti-busing bills and the
Lockheed Loan Guarantee has
prepared me for good verbal
combat and I challenge Mr.
Nunn to join me in these
debates.” Gambrell presented
Nunn with a tentative
schedule of debates in Albany,
Columbus, Atlanta, Macon,
Thomasville, Augusta,
Savannah and Dalton which
Nunn’s staff accepted without
change.

TO THE CITIZENS OF
BRANTLEY COUNTY:
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone
that turned out to vote in the past Primary Election and
in particular the voters that cast their ballots for me.
Those that voted for candidates who are not in the
run • off election, I earnestly solicit your vote and
support.
To those that voted in the Primary for the candidate
who is my opponent in the run • off election, I want to
ask two questions:
1. If my opponent wins the election and if he does
everything that he has promised, who is going to pay
for it ?
2. When you are sent your tax notice it may double
or triple during these next four years, would you like
that ?
For the good of us all, I ask that you seriously con
sider the above two questions.
As I stated in my first political announcement sev
eral weeks ago, I have no new promises to make. I
am still working on those made four years ago and I
promise to continue working on them hard for the good
of ALL the people of this County.
I solicit your vote and support in the August 29, run

Guest speaker at the Brantley

Agent Mercer of the Waycross
Vice -Squad. Mercer was as
sisted by two members of the
squad that have had extraor
dinary results in the Ware
County area in drug arrests.
After introductions by Club
President Robert Page, Agent
Mercer opened his talk by say
ing, “ Brantley County has no
more of a drug problem than
has Ware, Pierce, or Bacon
counties.”
” In any community with a
population of 50 people there
are two that abuse drugs,’’said
Mercer. We have had 158 drug
arrests in Waycross and Ware
County during the first year
of operation of the Vice - Sq
uad. Ages of those arrested
has ranged from 12 to 62 years
some are residents and some
have been transients, added
Mercer.

ago, Mercer said that the art

cause of the drug problem, but
because we are doing some
thing about the drug problem.”
” We are producing results
in our County ” he said.
” Officials in our area re
cognized that we had a drug
problem and the Vice - Squad

still have a long way to go ”,

Nunn’s Record Attracts
Atlanta
ATLANTA (PRN) - U.S.
Senator David H. Gambrell
may have shed some light on
the mystery surrounding the
recent endorsement of Senate
hopeful Sam Nunn by the
liberal Atlanta Constitution.
Nunn, who has run a campaign
presenting himself as “Mister
Conservative” attracted
endorsements from a few old
line conservatives as Marvin
Griffin and Peter Zack Geer.
Having seen Nunn travel on
this image, Georgians were
understandably shocked and
confused at the last minute
endorsement of Nunn by the
liberal CONSTITUTION.
Gambrell stated that since his
strong showing in Tuesday’s
primary, evidence has poured
into his office from all over
Georgia, indicating Nunn’s
conservative credentials go
back only four months.

Brantley Enterprise there ap.

“Nunn apparently switched
over to being a conservative in
about April of this year,”
Gambrell charged. “Members
of the Georgia General
Assembly have always
considered him part of the
‘young liberal group’ and he
has always associated himself
with the liberal and radical
elements from the Atlanta
area. Their causes were his
causes,” Gambrell continued,
“and it is natural that the
liberal Atlanta press would
want to be for him.”
Gambrell reiterated his

throughout four years has

agent to write his campaign
platform consisting of
conservative code words and
personal and political smears
against Gambrell, his family
and his senate record.
Gambrell said that he would
spend much of the next three
weeks presenting in detail
evidence which will establish
conclusively that Sam Nunn is
a “phony liberal, a turncoat
who has tried to trick the
people of Georgia into
believing that he is a
conservative when he is in
reality a tool of the liberal
Atlanta establishment.”
Gambrell suggested that
