Everybody hates somebody.! despite all pious protests of' brotherly love,’ etc.; if they don’t hate the Administration.1 they hate the Reds; if neighbors, then their neighbors, their in -j laws, or perfect strangers And every nation has a pet peeve of its own, as was commemorated by ; a popular singing group a few years ago: “ \ . . The whole world is fes tering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans.: the Germans hate the Poles: Italians hate the Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch, And I don't like anybody very' much . . "What SWINE has become con cerned about is the fact that everybody’s bigotism has become selective, has been concentrated on one particular segment of the world, while all others are vir-; tually neglected. “This is not only manifestly un fair, but also dangerous. After all, such concentrated and spe cific hatred between nations is what touches off wars. Both in the interests of simple justice and the little matter of world peace, 1 we must all strive to make our personal hatred more all inclusive, more catholic, more fair; we must introduce universal bigot ism and broaden our horizons of dislike •As a modest beginning in this important task, we propose that a 'Bigot Week’ should be initiat ed. during which all fair-minded and thoughtful people should widen their personal dislikes to embrace everybody and every thing. in ururr iu aNidi muiviuuaw in this all important undertaking, a telephone service called ‘Bigots Unanimous’ could be establish ed, so that anyone who suddenly felt a benevolent impulse could call a certain number, and listen to a recorded half-hour diatribe against everybody and everything, i which would be guaranteed to leave him detesting the entire universe, or at least the person who did the recording. “Also, for people who were pressed for time to be bigoted about something or somebody, a ‘Hating Service’ could be called up, which would, for a small fee, undertake to be bigoted about something in the customer’s place. “We confidently anticipate that the public will take appropriate steps to begin this great work." Counties Drop Dropout Program SALEM (AIM Coo*, Cluckn ■ mas awl Klamath counties ap-l parently will not bo Includod In a mnjbr state program for edit cation of dropouts.

The proposed five county pro gram was characterized by hack ers in a press release in Au gust ** an alternative to federal Job Corps camps. However, a few weeks ago, the federal Office of Economic Oppor tunity (OEO) rejected the $41 million plan which had been de veloped by the State Department of Education, the University, and the Portland school district. It proposed to train 19,000 dropouts over the next five years. An application was sent to Wash ington last summer OEO olticials said the plan was unrealistic, and would cost too much as a pilot program. At the request of the OEO, the plan Is being revised to empha size aid to« "economically dis advantaged" children, rather that: to the "educationally disadvan taged," said William Loomis, State Department of Education vocational education director.
