OKEMURA SAID most runaways are teen-agers who maintain a low profile until they become adults. "These kids stay missing until they reach 18 and then pop out of now here," he said.

In those cases, Okemura said, police make sure the runaway is okay, then drop the original case. "Our only concern is that the kid is okay," he said. Most kids run away from home only overnight, he said, but some can go for as long as a month. He said the new program ill be targeted at those who have been gone for several months. When youths are found by authorities, they are usually booked as a runaway and then sent home, he said.

See YOUTHS, Page A-4 li pi ones ses By Crystal Kua Star-Bulletin writer Kids are running away from home at a high rate on Oahu, which has grown so large that neighbors don't know each other and runaways can easily drop out.

It was Israel's second air raid into Lebanon this year. The Israeli military communique said the planes struck in the early afternoon at installations used by guerrillas to plan attacks against targets inside Israel and as an exit point for these attacks. It said the targets were demol in from that system if they encountered a suspected runaway. "That's not enough," said Okemura. He said that, since Hawaii is an island state, kids can easily hop on a plane to a neighbor island and remain lost until they are picked up by police.

He said another reason police are turning to the public for assistance is that Honolulu and the rest of Oahu are to a point here "you The interior of the windowless plane, long and dark as the Wilson Tunnel, also contained a bicycle, a Star tabloid and a wooden crate full of fur-lined parkas.

The Phantom loomed closer. Its pilot, a curious insect in his oxygen mask and mirrored visor, looked up at Hesseltine. The big fighter horsed around in the slipstream. An opening appeared along the fighter's spine; the target for the tanker's probe. The probe clicked home.

"How much fuel would you like to drink?" Hesseltine radioed the Phantom. "Uh. gimme 2,500 gallons," said the Phantom. The tanker started pumping. Aerial refueling is a delicate ballet of aircraft flying at more than 300 miles per hour, locked together like mating dragonflies.

"WHEREVER THE fighters BEFORE ANY picture or information on a runaway is released, police must obtain permission from Family Court and the child's parents, Okemura said.
