Port Perry chiropracter Dr. Chuck Bathe, a past president of the Ontario Association placed one wreath at the foot of the statue in Palmer Park, and a second wreath was placed by Dan Proctor a member of the student council at the Canadian Chiropractic College in Toronto. Although the statue of Palmer was erected in 1945, it has only been in the past five years that students from the College have been making the trip to Port Perry for the dedication service. The group also tours the original Palmer homestead on Simcoe Street in Port Perry, where Daniel David, or D-D as he is called, was born in 1845. The homestead is main- tained as a museum and is open to the public. The statue and sur- rounding grounds in Palmer Park were recently cleaned and-spruced up with money from chiropr: ters across Ontario. Dr. Marty Richter of Oshawa says that about $2000 was spent on the clean- up and a light will soon be installed to illuminate the statue at night. Palmer is considered the founder of chiropratic and gave the first spinal adjust- ment on September 18, 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. His first patient was a man named Harvey Lillard, a janitor in the building where Palmer had an office, and the treatment cured the man's deafness. Although Palmer was born in Port Perry where his father was a grocer, he left this area with his brother in 1865 and they made their way to the United States. Daniel David was a bit of an eccentric.

Palmer's son B.J. urged his father to open the first school of chiropractic in Iowa, which he did in 1904. A short time later, the medical professiontried to authorize Palmer as an M.D. but he refused to.accept, _ believing that chiropractic must be recognized as a separate philosophy from medicine. He refused to back down - from the position, and was convicted of practising "medicine'" without a licence. He paid a $500 fine and spent six months in jail for the convictions. B.J. was quite a character himself. Flamboyant and arrogant, he spent his life- time developing chiropractic 20% interest with chequing, all in one account - One passbook.
