Jane 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

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.

laughter much of the time

count of the 4-H wagon trek
to Corvallis last summer. He
spoke to the Booster -night

Virgil Prowell, chose a little

in Dave's shirt pocket for his
carefully preserved notes.
