This individual was praying that her friend might have "a soon and happy death." Normally, we pray for friends to get well, not to die. Ordinarily, we think of death as solemn, not happy. That's why the prayer shook me, at first. } But as I thought about her prayer for "a soon and happy death," I came to the following conclusions: 1. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. In some cir­ cumstances, death can be the best thing to happen. If an individual is incurably ill, or has outlived his family and friends, or has no knowledge of what's going on around him, who is to say that death should be postponed at all costs? A doctor once told me that when he faces the decision to keep an aged person alive artificially, the most vocal relatives are those who live the farthest away and know the least about the patient's condition. The family close at hand, who has witnessed the suffering, knows the doctor isn't a maniac just because he allows one of their loved ones to die in dignity. 2. Grief is not necessarily the best way to handle death. Naturally, grief is there. But must it over­ shadow the joy that should go with Christian dying? O. Henry, a noted writer, made an unusual request when he was dying. Turning to a nurse, he said, "Turn up the lights -- I don't want to go home in the dark." No one does. Maybe that's why "Light of the world" is one of the best-loved figures of speech used to describe Christ in the New Testament. He converts the grave into a thoroughfare, and the tomb into a triumph.

Looking Back ILLINOIS PRISONS: THE BARS AND STRIPES FOREVER? At least some reputable sociologists now claim that re­ habilitation of prisoners does not work, much to the dismay of taxpayers aware of the more than $74,000,000 operating budget of the modern Depart­ ment of Corrections and of the investment in "adult-division institutions," once called pris­ ons: Joliet (1860), Pontiac (1871), Menard (1878), State- ville (1919), Vandalia (1923), Dwight (1932), Sheridan (1950), and Vienna (1971).- In addition, there is a "ju­ venile division" consisting of 12 institutions and/or centers plus a bevy of psychologists, counselors, and "prisoner advo­ cates." It did not start out that way. The prison "system" in the nineteenth century was con­ sidered part of the minimal charitable function of the state. The first state prison was built in Alton in 1827 and sold 30 years later when construc­ tion began on the Joliet facili­ ty. The state's involvement in the Joliet prison at the outset was as an absentee landlord, leasing it and the prisoners to private individuals as a profit- making venture. Consistent with practices in other aspects of the state's charitable func­ tions, the director of the prison received a percentage of the profit rather than a fixed sala­ ry- In 1867, unable to find a new lessee, the General As­ sembly accepted Gov. Richard Oglesby's suggestion that the state run the prison itself "and dispense with the services of all intermediates whose object will never be punishment or refor­ mation of the criminal, but the realization of profit from his labor." After four years of main­ taining prisoners on the state account at a loss of $875,000, the state in 1871 turned to a contract labor plan, selling the labor of the convicts so suc­ cessfully that the prison be­ came self-supporting. State-run notices regularly appeared in the press requesting bids for the labor of a given number of convicts, describing their skills and experience, specifying the length of the contract (as long as eight years), and stipulating a minimum bid in 1881 of 60 cents per man per day. The state itself became one of the chief contractors, hiring 300 convicts to help build the new Statehouse. Unfortunately, the rate of pay allowed a contractor to market his products at prices injurious to labor and manu­ facturers alike. Agitation by the state's expanding trade union movement led to a con­ stitutional amendment in 1886 abolishing the convict contract system. The prisons returned to the 1867-71 model of work­ ing inmates on the state ac­ count. But the large captive work force still seemed unfair competition to free labor, and in 1897 Governor Tanner less­ ened the impact by limiting the number of convicts in any one trade to 100. Within a few years the lock-step and the prison stripe disappeared under pressure of reformers. As life in Illinois became more complex in the twentieth century, the state's cor­ rectional burden increased dramatically. The program focused on prisoner-centered rehabilitation, and was geared toward constructive re-entry into the outside world while woefully removed from its real­ ities. Political leaders promised to reduce the crime rate, but citizen-taxpayers questioned whether prisoners were paying their debt to society or society was paying yet another "debt" to the prisoners. ^ Questions and Answers h imril mkH nhrtti fn tHflUt hr M iitpiHiii miiinl ttrtT A. fihrtai wki riftlrt triifmiil hr $ nrriticitiitkJ tr rihhJ HiiMHy. 1.

Set up jh^irst-in, first-out" system to use as a guideline. / Store foods at ZERO degrees for maximum retention of color, vitamin content, taste and texture! Remember, as you increase your freezer temperature you de­ crease the storage life of frozen foods. Know Your Freezer's Temperature . . . Purchase a refrigerator/freezer thermometer at your supermar­ ket or in a department store's kitchenware department. Then, follow these simple directions: • Place the refrigerator/ freezer thermometer in front of the freezer storage area, fairly high up in the food load. • Leave the thermometer in place, overnight at least, without opening the freezer, before taking the first reading. If this reading is above ZERO degrees F., adjust the appliance's tem­ perature control to bring it as close to a ZERO degree tempera­ ture as possible. Wait overnight again to take your new and colder reading. • Get in the habit of reading the thermometer daily immediately after opening the freezer • Do not take your temperature check while the freezer is de­ frosting. If yours is a frost-free appliance, this simply means reading the thermometer when the fan is on, and not when the freezer is in it's automatic defrosting cycle. n IK; Hi fflnn HDfflB EEDHI Larry E.
