missing story
11-year-old girl who took off, with a 15-year-old girlfriend,

children

More than 40 cases were solved during Maxwell's tenure
with Childfind, a'70-per-cent success rate that his boss des-
eribed as phenomenal.

“Colin simply has a remarkable talent as an investi-
gator,” said Patricia Foster, tr Peident of Childfind Canada.
“It'll be hard to replace him.

: TYPES
Maxwell says his cases fall into three categories:

from her home north of Toronto after an with her
parents.

A few days later, Maxwell says, the girl called a couple
of her friends and said: “I’m in a Lincoln Continental talking
to you from a car phone right now. I'm fine and we're having
a great time.”

“This guy had picked them up right away north of
Toronto,” says Maxwell. “It was 12 o'clock at night and they
were hitchhiking. Stupid, eh, or what?~——

“He picked them up and took them to his place. He
took them out drinking, got their hair |, gave them 20
bucks each a night to go out and catcli’a movie, let them
smoke, let they stay out all hours. They thought they were
in heaven.”

Maxwell says he found the two girls several days later
at a fast-food restaurant in downtown Toronto. They said
they weren't molested — a stroke of good fortune as far as
he's concerned.

“When I got to them, I figure it was about three or four
days before it was pay day — time to pay back.”

The 81-year-old Maxwell, who with his blow-dried looks

Maxwell recently completed an eight-month stint with
Childfind, a non-profit group that conducts its own investi-

gations, provides information to police and distributes

which are almost always sexually
motivated; runaways; and the most common, parental kid-
nappings.

Last May, he drew national attention after closing a
case in which a woman ran away with an 11-year-old boy
from Lethbridge, Alta. The woman had developed an
attachment for the boy while she, her husband and family
were given shelter by the boy's mother.

“This guy from the Alberta office calls and says: ‘T've
got an abduction, we'll send it down to you, see what you can
do with it.’ And he almost laughed, as if nothing could be
done with it.”

In six days, Maxwell says, he traced the woman and boy
toa down-and-out motel on Toronto's sleazy lakeshore strip.
They had niade their way across the country thumbing rides
from truck drivers.

Maxwell refuses to say how he found the two. “I just
used my own sources.”

LEARN SKILLS

Maxwell does say that his skills were honed at earlier
jobs where he worked as a skip tracer and as an investigator
for other firms.

He shifted to missing-children work after his brother
noticed a newspaper story about a woman from Burlington,
Ont., who hadn't seen her children since they were taken by
her husband four years earlier. Maxwell says it look him 30
days to close the case.

However, not all his cases wind down to a sweet con-
clusion. There's the one he dropped voluntarily after a
client, described as a Houston multimillionaire, wanted to
bring in some heavy artillery to snatch his kids from his
estranged wife.

“He wanted me to find out where his wife was staying
because he was going to land a helicopter with six
commandos in the backyard, use whatever force was
necessary, then fly them to Niagara Falls, NY, where they
have a jet waiting to fly them back to Houston.”

Maxwell's latest project is setting up an investigation
firm with operations in both Canada and the United States.

The main order of business will be finding missing

PASADENA, Calif. (AP)
— Scientists are trying to
figure out what kinds of hea-
venly body they’ve discov-
ered orbiting a star 46 light
years from Earth.

“The thing is big but hot;
whatever it is, it’s not a star,”
said Ben Zuckerman, an as-
tronomy professor at the
University of California at
Los Angeles, who outlined
the discovery Tuesday dur-
ing the 19th annual meeting
of American Astronomical
Society's Division of Plan-
etary Sciences.

“We think the most likely
explanation of what we found
is a brown dwarf — a planet-
like object roughly the size of
Jupiter (but larger) and with
twice the surface tempera.
ture of Venus,” he said.

It’s only the 10th planet:
like object known in the uni.
verse besides the nine plan.

That's despite a scientific
effort to discover planets
outside our solar system.

Zuckerman said the brown

is not a star but is larger than
any known planet.

Aged need

CALGARY (CP) — The
policies and practices which
have appeared appropriate
for the current group of older
Canadians may not apply as
well to their Baby Boomer
successors, a social psychol-
ogist said at the annual con-
ference of the Canadian As-
sociation on Gerontology.

“We must remind our-
selves that each new cohort
of aged persons brings with it
different capabilities, life his
tories and goals for living,”
said Carol Ryff of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.

Ryff singled out educa-
tional opportunities for an
aging population as an ex-
ample.

“Certainly our universities
have been opened to more
diverse age groups and
special educational programs
have been designed specifi-
cally for aged learners such
as Elderhostels.”

As well, she said, edu-
cational fees have also been

reduced or eliminated’ for
older persons at some uni-
versities.

“Still, these gains are a far
cry from making the aged an
integral part of our centres of
learning. For this to happen,
we must rethink basic edu-
cational goals and ob-
jectives.”

Ryff said the purpose of
education must be seen as an
essential ingredient to mean-
ingful living.

NEED LEARNING

“In short, the pursuit of
knowledge must be restored
as an end in itself and one
that has particular signifi.
cance for the quality of life in
old age.”

In keeping with the con-
ference theme of aging with

childre:

education

excellence, Ryff said much of
the past research into posi-
tive aging has been negative
based on basic definitions of
well being.

“My argument has been
that the research needed
more elevated standards of
positive functioning and
higher expectations of what
is possible in old age.”

Ryff said that the basic
question is the extent to
which our cultural preoccu-
pation with old age as loss
pervades thinking about how
to meet the needs of our
elders.

“This question is particu-
larly relevant for practition-
ers who work directly with

mediate physical, social and
psychological problems.”

Ryff said “it might appear”
that the previously held cri-
teria of positive functioning
such as self-acceptance, posi-
tive relations with others,
autonomy, purpose in life and
personal growth” are some-
what fanciful to them.

“On the contrary, I would
argue that the need for op-
timism and elevated stan-
dards is even more critical in
realms where the aged and
their caretakers face per-
vasive difficulties.”

The Canadian Association
on Gerontology is a national
scientific and educational
group established to provide
leadership in matters re-
lating to aging.
