Boys Ignite Smoke Bomb in Theater Here Two fourteen-year-old Med ford boys were released to their parents late Friday aight after their arrest by city police for igniting a smoke bomb in the Craterian theater. Police said the two and a third youth who escaped oficers nar rowly missed alarming theater patrons when they set the bomb under a seat. The first smoke from the bomb was seen by a patrolman in the theater short ly after he watched the three leave their seats and move to the side of the building. The case was remanded to juvenile authorities. Ford Foundation Check for $17,100 Mailed to Hospital Sacred Heart hospital will re ceive a Ford Foundation check for S17.100 soon as the initial one-half payment of $34,200 grant voted last December in the Foundatioin's program to help and improve and expand hospital services. Checks totaling $37,748,800 were mailed to more than 1,000 of the 3,500 hospitals which will receive S200,000,000 from th Foundation, according to Presi dent Rowan Gaither Jr. Officials of the hospital said they planned to use the funds for improvements. Sacred Heart was provisionally accredited in 1955, and all but a few minor improvements have been com pleted to again make it a fully accredited hospital, officials said. Joint Commission The accredited list is publish ed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, which was established by five health organizations, the American College of Physicians, American College of Surgeons, American Hospital association, American Medical association, and Can adian Medical association. Inspections of hospitals are made upon request by the hospi tal, and an inspector surveys facilities and patient care. They rate a dozen or more factors in their surveys. Funds Not Listed Funds for Rogue Valley Mem orial (Community) hospital were not listed in the Ford Founda tion release, presumably be cause the money will not be used until construction is under way on the new hospital building to be put up starting later this year. It is scheduled to receive about $26,000 under the Ford program. One of the principal reasons for the decision to build the new hospital was that the old struc ture could not be modernized to permit it to be fully accredited although every effort is made to keep standards just as high as the building will allow, and to meet all requirements other wise for accreditation. Full accreditation is expected for the new structure when it is completed. Hearing Scheduled For Marketing Change A public hearing will be held April 27 to consider modification of marketing area requirements for salvage timber on Revested Oregon and California and Re- conveyed Coos Bay wagon road grant lands in Oregon. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. at the Interior department auditorium, Interior building, Portland, according to Elton M. Hattan, acting state supervisor, Bureau of Land Management. The hearing will consider whether marketing require ments now affecting sales of O&C timber shall be modified to permit the processing of O&C salvage timber in any O&C mar keting area.
