They were resumed in May 1991, after most of the foreigners had gone home. No official explanation was given for the halt, but the timing indicated it was to avoid the scrutiny of hundreds of foreign reporters and television crews in Saudi Arabia at that time. Men sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia are usually executed by beheading with a sword. Women are usually executed by firing squad. But married women convicted of adultery can be stoned to death. The last known instance of that was in 1981. Executions are usually held in squares outside mosques in Mecca, Riyadh and other cities on Fridays, the Muslim sabbath, after noon prayers. In recent years, the highest number of executions in a month was 26 in September 1989. But in 1980,63 Muslim fanat­ ics were beheaded simultaneously in several cities for taking part in the November 1979 storming of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam’s holiest shrine. Those executions were not carried out withjudicial sanction, but on the orders of the ruler then, King Khaled.

The conference is sponsored by the Pontifical Council for the Fam­ ily as part of the Year of the Fam­ ily proclaimed by Pope John Paul n. “Child labor is a reality,” said Nick Arcilla, spokesman for the London-based Save the Children Foundation. “It exists because of poverty, environmental degrada­ tion, migration, armed conflict, overpopulation and other prob­ lems.” The Vatican, which organized the conference, said about 40 people will take part, including “high-level experts” from around the world. They will come up with recommendations “of a pas­ toral nature,” which will be passed on to Asian bishops and institu­ tions which work with children, the Vatican said. The United Nations Children’s Fund estimates that 5.7 million of the Philippines’ 26 million chil­ dren work. For generations, it was common for children here and in «other agricultural societies to share chores on the farm. But over the years, child labor has expanded to factories and the streets, where children as young as 6 hustle a living selling ciga­ rettes, flowers - and sometimes themselves. There are about .20,000 child prostitutes in the Philippine capi­ tal, according to UNICEF. “I want to study again but my mother will not eat anything if I stop working,” Sy said as he peddled cigarettes and candy near a train station.

Hakim, now 8, doesn’t talk about the operation much. “It was OK,” he said, searching out Hudgin’s lollypop stash. He just nods when asked if he’s glad he had the surgery. Hakim’s personality changed as his head grew more misshapen, said his mother, Angelia Jackson. He lisped and had frequent headaches. “He really was a problem child. Other children teased him, so he became really aggressive,” she said. “Now nobody makes fun of him anymore, and he’s much more likeable. He feels good about himself, his speech is 100 percent better, and the headaches are gone.” About six years ago, doctors began operating on older children in a series of operations that could fix either the front or the back of the skull at one time. A new method developed by Hudgins and Dr. Fernando Burstein, a plastic surgeon at Scottish Rite, reshapes the entire skull in one five-hour operation. They ’■ve performed it on about 20 patients. They lay a child on the stom­ ach, posi tioned so the chin extends upward as far as possible, giving them access to the entire head. They cut away the scalp and Hudgins slices up the bones. Burstein bends them into the cor­ rect spherical shape much as he would bend a piece of wood. To­ gether they painstakingly sew all the pieces back together, taking excess from the bulging forehead to fill in the gaps, because the skull can’t regenerate.

To People of the Commonwealth:

On Sunday, July 4th, we celebrate the 49th anniversary commemorat­ ing our deliverance from the bondage of oppression that had been upon us for centuries.

Our forefathers endured every imaginable hardship at the hands of a mindless brutal nation. But with persistent determination our people persevered and survived the total wrath of war.

Times have changed. We are now a people of many races and ethnic backgrounds. We no longer settle our differences with guns and spears. But in our pursuit for a better commonwealth we hold on to that same resolve that our forefathers adhered to in the field of bloodshed.

As an island we are small in number but we join with all peace- loving people of the world in seeking permanent peace among all nations. We have seen the horrors of war. Our entire race was nearly wiped out during the Spanish Chamorro War. And only forty-nine years ago war again came to our soil. Many of our loved ones perished in that conflict. We pray that we shall never see another fellow human being lose his life in senseless hostilities.

This year's theme, "Selebrasion Taotao Tano", is a theme which reflects the celebration of our Liberation Day that all CNMI citizens truly deserve.

Have A Happy & Safe Fourth of July! FRIDAY, JÚLY 2,1993 -M A R IA IS VAÌMETTNEWS AND YÏÉWS-5
