-•% -v . 1 Plan Bible School Perspective COMMON SENSE FROM A NEIGHBOR By RONALD REAGAN Pictured are several teachers who will be participating 1q the Daily Vacation Bible school at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry. From left are Supt. Pat Buhrman, Kathy Zank, Leith Honning and Kathie Behm. A Daily Vacation Bible school has been planned at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, McHenry, July 23 through Aug. 3. The school will provide an opportunity for students from age 3 through eighth grade to participate in discussion periods, enjoy arts and crafts, and become involved in group recreation activities. The school will be coor­ dinated by Supt. Pat Buhrman and a staff of approximately 20 teachers and helpers. Each day, Monday through Friday, during the one week the students and teachers will meet at the church from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The students will meet as a group each morning for a brief sing-along and an object lesson prior to going to the proper class for each grade level. Personal creativity will be encouraged at the school through regular arts and crafts periods. Fun will be offered also during_the recreation periods of the school. Families in the parish and the community are invited to register their children by either calling the office or by stopping by the church office to fill out a registration form. His name - Jose Alfredo Martinez de Hoz -- is hardly a household word in the United States, but his message, economic health through common sense, falls on receptive ears Wherever he speaks in this country. Dr. Martinez de Hoz was given the responsibility of rebuilding Argentina's ruined economy when, in March 1976, the armed forces took over the government of Juan Peron's widow. The country was on the verge of anarchy and terrorists had declared virtual civil war against the population. Today, Argentina is at peace, the terrorist threat nearly eliminated. Though Martinez- de Hoz, in his U.S. talks, con­ centrates on economics, he does not shy from discussion of the human rights issue. He points out that, in the process of bringing stability to a terrorized nation of 25 million, a small number (and nowhere near the estimates U.S. critics claim) were caught in the crossfire, among them a few innocents Today, the number of people detained for suspicion of terrorist links is steadily declining and it is fair to point out that enraged U.S. accounts of alleged human rights violations are almost always based on third-party claims, not interviews with actual victims. Martinez de Hoz makes the point that you can't have true political freedom without economic freedom and that, until the new economic policies began to take shape, Argentina had been on a 30-year roller coaster ride of massive • in­ flation (over 1,000 percent a year at one point >; big budget deficits' negative balance of trade; a currency black market; protected industries with almost no competitive incentive to improve products or services; and nationalization (always with the excuse of saving jobs, i.e., votes) of any industry that failed because of its own inefficiency. By early 1976, the average Argentine's peso was worth next to nothing. The dips in the roller coaster were deeper and the in­ toxicating highs higher than here, but the symptoms were similar to the ones we are wrestling with today. Can we learn from Argen­ tina's experience? Consider this: Since 1976, Argentina has decontrolled interest rates on savings. The rates went up and so did the savings. Today, the average Argentine saves 27 percent of his pay -- one of the highest rates in the world. Thus, new capital is provided for economic growth. Rent controls were causing a chronic housing shortage. They were scrapped and buildings shot up. Exchange controls on currency were lifted and the black market in money disappeared. State-owned industries have been sold off to private enterprise and new competition has been en­ couraged. Trade protection measures have been cut and foreign competition is now forcing domestic industries to become more productive and customer-oriented. Nature blessed Argentina with a good climate and natural resources. Martinez de Hoz notes it does not suffer from four problems which plague most nations of the earth to one degree or another: population explosion (their birth rate is 1.5 percent per yean; food shortages (they are net ex­ porters); energy (virtually self-sufficient); and adverse balance of payments (in three years the new government has turned a perilous deficit into a growing surplus). That's enough to make an energy-conscious American a bit envious. The plan that Martinez de Hoz, a civilian, drew up when the armed forces committee was about to take over the government adds up to common sense. The French HOj Some people once believed that the magic power of witches resided in their hair and that they would be powerless if shorn. 21 N.

Martinez de Hoz. though he has wrestled inflation down from about 360 percent to something over 100 percent a year, still has a ways to go. But if you' ask the average Argentine-in-the-street what he thinks about the state of his country's economy, chances are you will find him pleased, not seething, about the way things are going Maybe we could learn something from our neighbors at the other end of the hemisphere PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.
