LIFE FELLOWSHIP OF DAVENPORT Certainly, there was doubt in the minds of many of the men who put their stamp of approval on the White Paper. These doubts have been reflected in many private conversations with mem who be- grudgingly participated in this Appomattox of chiropractic. They express great concern about the stipulations of the White Paper. They feel far too much has been surrendered of the truths basic to chiropractic. Unfortunately, the momentum of the conspirator's cry for unity at all costs was too great for any disagreement with the White Paper, Dissenters would have been the victims of wrath and ridicule. The time was ripe for submission. Principled chiropractors had no dependable defenses. Their Maginot line crumbled, and, like France, chiropractors could no longer call their land their own. I am for unity. Who could be against unity on principle? I praise all those who have worked so dili- gently through the years for the advancement of chiropractic--but I am diametrically opposed to this medical unity as stipulated in the White Paper. I am for the immediate adoption of the true, principled concepts of D.D. and BJ. Palmer and the early pioneers whose doctrines should be clearly defined so that all chiroprac- tors can know thyself . I am for the immediate recall of the White Paper and the issuing of a revised edition which contains an all- chiropractic answer to the I-IEW report, leaving no doubt as to the principled position of chiropractic in the field of natural healing. I advocate a national advertising campaign based on our principles as set forth in the revised White Paper designed to educate and motivate the public to the benefits of chiropractic. I am in favor of a national cam- paign against drugs whether pushed or prescribed, against mass immuni- zation without the consent of the individual, and against mass medi- cation of the public water supply. We as chiropractors need apologize to no one. We are licensed by the legislatures of 48 states. We have sufficient training, a heritage which may be pointed to with pride, a wealth of invaluable data, and fifty-million healthy people to at- test the benefits of our profession. We must not conform to what other groups believe our profession to be --we must, rather, instruct them about what we know it to be. Consequently, I am for full finan- cial, professional, legal, and social freedom- -NOW. Shall we be limited medical thera- pists or chiropractors? Quo vadis. . . whither goest thou? fWhen the time is right, all the local, state, and national political leaders must be informed that there is new Wine in the bottle of chiropractic. Throughout the existence of the Life Fellowship of Davenport we have stood for that which the Chiropractic profession has held near and dear since its inception into this world. Our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and aspirations are found in this article by Dr. Sid Williams. This is our reason for being here, this is our purpose. Thanks for everything, Dr. Sid. --members and friends of the Life Fellowship 175

DIVI E MEDITATICN SOCIETY 1 X I X ii' 5 Our world is awakening to the source of life -- the primordial energy of love and harmony. It is this creating and sustaining power within all things which Chiropractors call lnnate , others call it the HoIy ' Name or God . We, in the club, have been practically shown a simple technique of meditation whereby we resonate at the frequency of Innate , and our thankful hearts tell us that this information is truly divine. We rejoice in sharing such a glori- ous gift.
