did get some recognition.
There never has been a
woman in the position of
president of the United
States. Why? Simply be-
cause the minds of the popu-
lous are conditioned in not
accepting this point of fact.
It has been bandied
about that Hillary Clinton
may run for president of the
USA at the next election. If
you were Hillary Clinton,
who is high up in the poli-
tics of the Liberal Democ-
rats and wanted to run for
president of the USA, what
means would you use to
recondition people’s minds
to be more acceptable to
having a woman president?
Get the Liberal mem-
bers of your party together
and come up with a working
plan. Like maybe a weekly
TV program showing a
woman as the president.
Like the one airing on ABC
Custom Rod
and Restoration

now
titled
“Commander In Chief.”
Even if the program bombed
it would be there for at least
one season as a conditioner
to take the edges off being
unacceptable. Wouldn’t it?
Another Liberal presi-
dent is unacceptable. Nor-
man Thomas said, “The

“As a nation, we have made

The Nature Conser-

helps provide practical ex-

CAVE JUNCTION
A $10,000 grant for the
second consecutive year for
a conservation environ-
mental education program
has been received by The
Nature Conservancy from
the PacifiCorp Foundation
for Learning.
Conservancy youth
crews receive a high level of
training and work on a range
of sophisticated conserva-
tion problems including in-
vasive species control, pre-
scribed fire, ecological
monitoring and restoration
planning, said the conser-
vancy.
“These mostly at-risk
groups work at the same site
during a year or more, al-
lowing participants to as-
sume greater leadership and
ownership of the project,”
said Russell Hoeflich, Ore-
gon director of The Nature
Conservancy.
“When young people
develop an awareness of
conservation challenges, and
learn a sense of responsibil-
ity, they become good stew-
ards of the natural environ-
ment,” he said, adding:
“Plus there are so many
career opportunities in con-
servation, and this program
provides exposure to them.”
