Since it was built, the 22-room Howard mansion in Jeffersonville has been a symbol of the family's shipbuilding success on the Ohio River during the 1800s. Today the Howard estate, which was built in the 1880s and converted to a museum more than 20 years ago, represents another kind of success story.

The youngsters have trimmed trees and grass and cleared brush from beneath bushes and shrubs. They've removed poison ivy that had covered a gate and brick fence around the museum grounds. And they'll replace missing bricks and mortar in the fence. The assignment is part of a restitution program designed to keep young offenders out of institutions and help them avoid future problems with the law.

But juveniles aren't the only ones to benefit from the local effort, say officials involved with the program.

His vehicle rammed a parked car in front of him, shoving it into the crowd. Three people reportedly were pinned against the wall of the church, about 20 feet from the curb.

Scores of people were jammed together waiting to pick up cheese, butter and rice when the accident occurred at 9:26 a.m. at Fifth Street Baptist Church, 1901 W. Jefferson in the Russell area.

Many of the people already had been in line more than two hours. Witnesses estimated that at 9 a.m., when distribution began, at least 300 people were in two lines. The number had dwindled only slighty when the accident occurred. One line along the sidewalk was for elderly and handicapped people who received food in the air-conditioned church. Everyone else waited in a second line in the parking lot to get free food in a small building at the other end of the church.

The car careened into the elderly and handicapped people in the first line. Laura C. Weathers, 83, of 1614 W. Madison died at Humana Hospital University at 10:10 a.m. of "multiple trauma," said Deputy Jefferson County Coroner Danny Chapman.

In addition, senior administration officials said current U.S. military maneuvers in the region were designed to lay the groundwork for a possible limited blockade of Nicaragua, where a Marxist-dominated junta controls the government.

Reagan's top aides, the officials said, hope the show of force will persuade the Sandinista government to halt the flow of arms that Washington contends goes from Cuba to Nicaragua to El Salvador.

She was a Southern Kentucky farm girl, going to the big cities of Dallas and Fort Worth with her husband for the work that lured people from throughout an increasingly unemployed nation. But for Kathy Brownfield Goad, the trip to Texas in the fall of 1981 may have led to tragedy, not a better life. The 20-year-old former high school honor student, cheerleader and beauty queen disappeared Nov. 11, 1982, when she went to a department store in Hurst, a Fort Worth suburb, to exchange some items. She has not been seen or heard from since.

Fort Worth police, who received more than 2,200 missing-person reports last year, at first told Mrs. Goad's parents that the young woman probably had caught a plane and flown away, leaving her husband, Steve, of two years.

A senior Reagan administration official, interviewed in Washington several days ago, said "that's true" when asked about reports that Salvadoran guerrillas were receiving only small amounts of ammunition and weapons from Nicaragua. The official also said the Salvadoran rebels had little need for such aid. The White House, asked about the officials' statements on the arms flow, said it had no comment. Salvadoran military officers do On the other hand, most well-informed people believe that at least some equipment is reaching the guerrilla forces from outside the country and that it is important in military terms. One such item is batteries to power guerrilla radios, officials said.

Such batteries are much more difficult to capture in battle than rifles and cartridges. "To capture things like that you would have to overrun a company commander and his radio operator," one analyst said. "Not easy to do."
