A mixture of rain and snow reached across central and southwestern Montana during the morning. A threat of locally heavy snow ended and winter storm warnings were discontinued, but the storm had left up to 16 inches of snow at Glacier National Park and 3 inches of snow at traditional cold spot Cut Bank. Elsewhere in the Northwest, a low temperature record for Sept.

7 was tied when Yakima, reached 36 degrees. But east of the Rockies, hot weather continued with midday temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s from southern Pennsylvania west across southern Wisconsin, Iowa and much of Nebraska. A high temperature record for the date was set at Harrisburg, at 94 degrees, the city's hottest day of the summer. Thunderstorms were scattered over Upper Michigan, across Alabama, and from eastern Oklahoma across northwestern Arkansas through southern Missouri. Morning thunderstorms over the upper Great Lakes produced 1-inch diameter hail and very heavy rain near Park Falls, which got 1.30 inches of rain during the 6 hours up to 1 p.m.

CDT. Rainshowers extended from eastern Oregon across Idaho and western through central Montana. Today's forecast called for showers and occasional thunderstorms from the Great Lakes and the upper Ohio Valley across Minnesota and North Dakota, as well as over the Mississippi Delta. Rain-showers were forecast from the northern Plateau across the northern half of the Pacific Coast.

"I think without a doubt he was the most nationally celebrated and honored football player we've ever had at Ole Miss," Alford said. "He's made every all-time, all-everything team that's ever been picked." Jimmie McDowell, executive director of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, also learned of Kin-ard's death at the game in Memphis. "The officers and board of directors of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame are saddened to hear of the passing of one of football's legendary linemen, Frank 'Bruiser' Kinard," McDowell said. "Kinard, one of football's most popular professionals to ever play in New York, was genuinely admired by those who knew him. He was one of the greatest competitors football ever saw.

I am personally sorry to hear of his death after his long to him for his contributions to our program." Kinard, who lived at 5600 Keele St. in Jackson, played at Ole Miss from 1933-37. He was an assistant coach under Vaught from 1948 until Vaught's retirement in 1970. Kinard then took over as athletic director and served in that capacity until 1972. He remained at Ole Miss as assistant dean of student personnel until his retirement in 1978.

Alford played on the Ole Miss football team under Kinard when Kinard was line coach. "All of us at Ole Miss are saddened to lose such a great man as Coach Bruiser," Alford said. "Every boy who played for him, like I did, had a great amount of love, respect and admiration for him. The thing I personally appreciated about Coach Bruiser is that he always gave me the feeling he had a great deal of confidence in me. At my size, that meant a lot." Alford played from 1958 through Kinard was born Oct.

13, 1914, in Pe-lahatchie. He graduated from Jackson Central High School in 1933. He graduated from Ole Miss in 1938 after making All-Southeastern Conference and All-American his junior and senior years as a tackle. He was the first Mississippian to be admitted and a charter member of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. He was also a charter member of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame.

Kinard started his professional career with Brooklyn of the old National League and was named All-Pro six times. After a stint in the U.S. Navy during World War he returned to professional football with the New York Yankees of the All-American Conference. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Saturday.

Richard A. Boyd says the plan "definitely is in rough-draft form, with the emphasis on rough." He said he's dissatisfied with several portions and may discard whole sections before presenting a final draft to the state Board of Education, probably at its regular meeting Sept. 20. There are three areas of reform, Boyd said, in which the department probably will have to seek substantial sums. Those areas are computerized record-keeping, tests to measure the effectiveness of new programs and remedial work with students who are unable to meet the new, higher standards.

Tracking the effectiveness of programs mandated by the Education Reform Act is "truly a monumental task," Boyd said. Without computerization of the process, it won't get done. "If we have to use paper and pen," the superintendent said, "well, I just don't think we can do it, realistically." Rangers find missing campers The Associated Press GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, Mont. Four hikers who spent three days in Glacier National Park in up to 2 feet of snow hiked out safely to a road near the Montana-Canadian border Saturday, officials said. The four, believed to have only light jackets and sweaters, daypacks and little food, made it out to the Chief Mountain Road and were being taken to park offices at St.

Mary, said Assistant Park Superintendent Alan O'Neill. "As far as we know, they are OK, but I'm sure there's some hypothermia involved," O'Neill said. The four, summer employees of a hotel in the park, were the objects of a search by a dozen rangers who skied into the northeastern area of the park, O'Neill said. O'Neill identified them as Jody Watson, 19, of Stillwater, Mary Laura Mueggler, 19, of North Logan, Utah; David Digee, 22, of Vestavia Hills, and Brett Blackwelder, 23, of Clakston, Ga. All worked at the Glacier Park Lodge, a hotel in East Glacier run by a park concessionnaire.

Two feet of snow had fallen in the area, and temperatures dipped into the 20s at higher elevations, said O'Neil. Boyd noted that many of the reforms mandated by the Legislature prescribe that the department "measure the effectiveness." For example, the agency is to measure the effectiveness of teacher aides placed in the first, second and third grades the latter beginning this year. "The way to do that is testing," Boyd said, "but I think (standardized) tests cost more than many people think. It's just horribly expensive." As the higher standards of student performance are implemented, he said, another problem becomes what to do about students who aren't keeping up. The draft notes that the Legislature demands both excellence and equity, making it the Education Department's responsibility to ensure that all students are given an equal chance for a high-quality education.

Accomplishing that will require extensive remedial programs for tutoring students who fall behind. But, if teachers are to continue working with those students who are achieving at the higher levels, Boyd said, new personnel will have to be hired to do the remedial work. And that will cost money. Just how much money should become clearer at least for the short term after the Board of Education has adopted its legislative recommendations for 1986 as well as its "Policy for the '90s." The panel's legislative agenda for the 1986 regular session, which begins in January, also is expected to be approved at this month's board meeting. But it is the agenda of the Legislature in its next session that may prove more important to education in Mississippi.

Without the additional revenues a tax increase would provide, legislators face particularly unenviable choices on what to fund and what to cut And without money for the programs the reform act requires to be implemented now, delays in formulating a policy for the '90s may not matter. Education report contains disturbing figures By DAVID ROUNTREE Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer Although an early draft of the state Department of Education's "Five-Year Master Plan" says little about where public schools are headed, it contains a great deal of information about where they are. The plan must be ready for presentation to the Legislature in January. The document contains a plethora of numbers, some of which are pretty disturbing. For example: There are 154,749 children in Mississippi who live in single-parent households.

Such children are less likely to achieve at normal levels during their primary school years and are more likely to be undernourished. There were 6,000 births to teenage mothers in Mississippi last year more than 300 of them to girls under 1 5. Children in families headed by poor, teenage mothers are more likely to be victims of child abuse and general neglect and are much more likely to need special education. An estimated 14,000 Mississippi children were born in 1983 the latest year for which figures are available to mothers who never finished high school. More than 6,000 of these children's mothers never finished the ninth grade.

Children from families in which a parent is functionally illiterate also are more likely to start out behind in school, and "a positive attitude toward learning is often missing" in such families, according to the draft plan. "In Mississippi," the plan states, "these situations result in a disproportionate number of mentally and physically handicapped children being reared by socially and educationally handicapped young women. More than 10 percent of public school enrollments consist of handicapped children." The plan also documents disparities in per-pupil spending among the state's 154 school districts more numbers and more bad news. The statewide average for per-pupil spending in school year 1984-85 ranged from about $1,400 in the poorest districts to more than $3,200. If that figure is adjusted to reflect only spending on instruction, the disparity remains: Based on average daily attendance, per-pupil spending on instruction in 1983-84 ranged from $1,820 in Claiborne County to about $923 in Lamar County, according to the Education Department plan.

Teacher salaries and student-teacher ratios also are indicative of the wide variance in the wealth of school districts. Average teacher salaries in 1983-84 ranged from more than $18,000 a year in Claiborne County and in Jackson to less than $14,850 in the Pearl River County, Coffeeville and Lumberton Line school districts. Student-teacher ratios last year ranged from 13-to-l in Pass Christian to more than 23-to-l in Bolivar County Consolidated School District No. 6, the draft plan states. "As a result of disparities in school spending, student-teacher ratios and teachers' salaries," the plan states, "children in many districts do not have access to equal levels of educational resources or instruction.

"Measured by spending, educational opportunities are clearly unequal in Mississippi." -I Correction In today's Fall Preview television magazine, photographs of MacGyver and The Twilight Zone, on pages 10 and 39, were transposed.
