Newspaper Page TextJane Russefl Puts Finishing Touches On Annual Project By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood -flJPD- Mother hood and Jane Russell seem to go together about as well as Liz Taylor and Debbie Reynolds - but beneath the sex goddess veneer buxom Jane is something of a mother to 7,000 youngsters. As president of WAIF, an international organization for homeless children, Jane has placed some 7,000 orphans with adoptive parents. This week the brunette screen siren put the finishing touches to the biggest project of her life, the fifth annual WAIF ball Nov. 7, to raise more than $50,000 for the or ganization. Jane began the WAIF nine yejjrs ago when she encoun tered difficulties adopting a cbld of her own. She went to England and brought home with her a wriggly little guy named Tom. Since then she has adopted two more chil dren. And if things work out, she hopes to bring home a fourth. Two Types of Countries I just put two and two to gether," Jane said. "There were thousands of couples in this country who wanted chil dren, and thousands of chil dren in Europe who needed parents. It was that simple." Working through Interna tional Social Service, Inc., Jane and WAIF invaded 72 countries finding orphans for adoption. "Countries fall in one of two categories those with too many orphans, and those with too few for the number of people who want to adopt," she said. "England and Scan dinavia now have a shortage of adoptable kids. "This year most of our chil dren are coming from Ger many, Greece, Italy, Kprea and Japan. It changes from year to year. Two things we always do, place children with people of their own religion, and keep brothers and sisters together. Several times we've placed families of four youngsters with new parents." Jane went on to say her or- APPLEGATE VALLEY Wedge Business Good By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley Seven eteen years ago J. R. (Dick) Hoffman started making live oak wedges for loggers to fell trees, and he continues in the business at his Thompson crqek farm. It is a paying business with no overhead except stumpage and gas, Hoffman says, and he sells to lumber companies in northern California, points in Idaho, Bend, Klamath eFalls, and other areas. Hoffman was a "gypo" him self in the Klamath country, and started making wedges and selling to "gypos" as a starter, but he lays no claim to inventing wedges for he says Arkansas men brought the idea to Klamath. He started making the wedges at his ranch on an in vestment in two saws and a mandrill. He later bought a (larger saw, and when his tractor wore out he bought another engine. He uses a bolting saw and a rip saw, first cutting the wood into bolts :. without knots. He makes the wedges in four . sizes. . He has exhausted the live oak from his own property, and buys within a 40 mile radius from the bureau of land management and from private owners. Hoffman can get a hundred dollars' worth of wedges from the average tree, and for the most part sells the product green, he states. Live oak is the only usable wood for the wedges that are used to place in the AnATi nii'fa vrnAh -fnllincr an1 VbU VlfLU" vm0 uuw bucking logs. Throughout the years Hoff man has maintained one chief business policy, "One price to all," whether he is selling in wholesale lots or to the indi vidual. His ranch has 83 acres in cultivation and 440 acres in timber. He has turned his ranching over to federal agri cultural conservation manage ment, and at the present time ys land is in altifescue and sub clover. He is a son of the late George Hoffman, who same from Germany, and in 1872 homesteaded on Thomp son creek. Hoffman's uncle, Ed Bolt, also of a pioneer family, lives with him. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kyer, originally of West Virginia, are new residents of the area, having purchased the Frank Mitchell residence . on Jack sonville hill. Kyer has retired from 20 years' service in the Army, where he was a chief warrant officer. As a hobbyist he is a competitive marksman and has numerous trophies from contests around the world. He competed In teams from 20 NATO countries in 1952, and was on various Army teams at Camp Perry, Ohio. Kyer won in the U.S. Arm'y- eTftpan pistol match in 1958, and entered the national mid winter matches at Tampa, Fla. He still is active in this field, and expects to attend the contests again at Camp Perry, Ohio.

He spoke to the Booster -night crowd at the Grange hall.
