A furniture dealer, Mrs. Joe Pat Lamb, said, "Our business has been hurt." Mrs. Lamb said part of the problem is the general economy. Guy Spann, president of the Murray Board of Realtors said that, in his private business and in observing real estate business in general, he had noted no harsh impact attributable to the long strike.

"I have sold two homes to people on strike, but have sold none for people on strike," he said. Numerous clothing merchants In downtown Murray reported 1975 as a boom year, but one said that if the strike had not happened "our results would have been unbelievable." Murray is known as the "automobile reconditioning capital of the nation" and the industry has not reported having been affected by the strike. The industry buys cars out of town mainly, reworks them and sells them wholesale. The stability of Murray State University, with a budget of about $20 million a year, also was given as a factor in Murray's ability to survive a strike that would stagger most towns its size. The recession apparently has worked in Murray's favor at the university and in the car business.

AST Bobby Fischer lost at chess despite name By BEN JOHNSON Courier-Journal Staff Writer Bobby Fischer lost a chess tournament in Louisville yesterday. There was no exotic, ar-of setting like Keykavik, Iceland. The tournament was in. the ballroom at Spalding College on Fourth Street. There was no Intricately designed playing board, nor expensive chess men.

Just plastic sheets with green and white squares and plastic playing pieces. There weren't even any emotional outbreaks or temperamental tirades from Fischer or any of the other 77 players. also wasn't Bobby Fischer, at not THE Bobby Fischer, whose name us synonymous with chess and who is considered by many to be the best chess player ever. The Bobby Fischer at yesterday's Kentucky High School Chess Championship is, a 15-year-old freshman at Highlands High School in Fort Thomas. Although the younger and less famous Bobby Fischer doesnt live and breathe chess like the celebrity, he is a highly regarded player.

Fischer currently is the highest-rated high school player in the state. I But he was upset in the second game of the first day of the tournament by the 25th-rated person an the tournament. "I was trying too hard," Fischer said yesterday between moves of his final tourney game. "He sneaked up on me and won." He settled down for a long match after ihe spoke. He had to win this match to salvage his pride.

He alternately sat on his left leg and on the edge of his chair as he studied the board and his opponent's moves. Sometimes he'd get up and walk around after he finished a move. ii'J like to play he said later. nove to win. But I don't think I'll do this for a career." Fischer said he wants to be a writer, "probably a novelist." But Fischer, who started playing when he was 9, said he would like to achieve the ranking of "master" before he stops competing.

To get the designation, Fischer will have to compile at least 2,200 points from the U.S. Chess Federation. He now has 1,685. Last year when he finished seventh jn.the high school tournament, his rating was 1,705. Fischer finished third yesterday after winning the last match.

He tied for that position with eight others with a score of four out of a possible five, The individual winner was Kevin Barnard, 17, a senior at Jefferson County's Ballard High School. He tallied a perfect score with five wins. John Dockery, a junior at St. Xavier High School in Louisville finished second with four wins and a draw (a score of 4 12) Jefferson County's Jesse Stuart High School won the team championship and Sfc; Xavier was second. Play was hushed and quiet.

One could hear the small chess clocks ticking loudly. The players sat four to a table with two games at each. Sometimes a player would stare at the board for five or 10 minutes before making a move. One player broke the tension of his game: He dropped to the floor on his hands and toes and did 10 push-ups. Seconds later, he was back at the table making a move.

do see a lot of strange things at tournaments," said Rodney Wright, tournament director. "In chess, you meet a lot qf-wierd characters," he offered quickly in explanation. "You get engrossed in a game, take it personally. Players will try, to psych out an opponent by wearing funny clothes or hollering." i Or doing push-up. 1 Fischer began to smile as the 2 12-hour game drew to an end.

Just a few more moves to go. His opponent was left with just a queen and a pawn to protect his king. i A moment later, Fischer cornered his opponent's king and there was a cordial handshake across the table. The game was over. Fischer wandered around the ballroom for about half an hour until the final game was over.

"I don't get anything?" Fischer finally asked Wright. "A certificate or something, maybe?" Wright told him. "I'll send you something, though." 1 With a nonchalant wave, Fischer turned to leave. He picked up his large, gray suitcase and headed for the bus station. And a three-hour ride home.

IFederal SAVINGS LOAN ASSOCIATION Interest FRANKFORT, Ky. The contents of a state police report on the alleged threatening phone call to one of Gov. Julian Carroll's brothers last week will be released after Franklin Commonwealth's Atty. Ray Corns determines jurisdiction in the case. Corns said he is still studying the law to determine jurisdiction because the call reportedly was made from Franklin, to McCracken County.

Then, Corns said, he must determine what criminal offense, if any, the caller committed. The governor said last Wednesday that one of his brothers had received a call threatening to release derogatory information on the governor if his administration backed a bill to end commercial bail bonding. State police said the man who allegedly made the call told investigators he had been drinking and did not intend the call as a threat. Compounded Daily keeping his young people busy in church. For 18 years, the short, quiet-speaking minister from Springfield, Tenn.

was also the pastor of the Mount Gilead Baptist Church near Olmstead. During that period, each church held services only two Sundays a month. And yet Williams and the members re-furbishied the Cedar Grove church building, putting in a new heating system, furniture, floors, and also added a vestibule, choir room and office. The first Cedar Grove was organized in the 1880s in a little log cabin on Whip-poorwill Creek about a quarter of a mile from the present building. Even though Williams' pastorate is in a rural area, he finds that his experience are much the same as urban ministers.

He counsels troubled families and conducts midweek prayer meetings. The friendly nature and dedication of Cedar Grove's members are evident each year when the church has its annual basket rally, Williams said. On that day, usually in August, the church grounds are crowded with 300 to 500 members, relatives and friends who come to share in the day's services and afternoon basket supper. and Paid 4 Times a Year WHERE CAN YOU BEAT IT? Continued From Page 1 the young people here have grown up since we've been here," the pastor said. Even after some of the youths have grown up, they tend to marry and build homes in the six-mile area the church said.

"That makes it a more stabilized church than it would be if they were renting or something," he said. "It's been quite an experience to pastor a church and to see a church, you might say, grow up under you," Williams said proudly. "I don't know if a minister doesn't appreciate a church a little better when he stays long enough for one to grow up uncter him. It just draws you a little bit closer to the members." Williams credits the religious-minded; people of the area for the large youth participation in his small church. "The parents are anxious for their children, when they become of age, to become Christians," 'he said.

"And usually, they're led to Christ." In some cases, churches have often failed to keep young members after they join church, he said. But Williams said that he has a found a successful way to combat this. "When one comes into the church after you baptize him, I feel you ought to give him a job and put him to work," he said. When I first began to attend church and after I joined church, all the young people did was just come there and sit. And if you came in time for Sunday school, you read the lesson and that was your activities in the church then.

"But now, when a young person comes to church, find him something to do," he urged. "Put him in the choir, put him on the usher board or put him somewhere. Keep him busy because they're full of energy. If you don't give them something to do, the world will." Until five years ago, Williams didn't devote all of his time to Cedar Grove and Kenneth Cassady, the union president, said last week that his union was withdrawing from ULAB. Cassady's action came after he learned that some officers of ULAB, a coalition of local labor organizations, had met Jan.

10 with leaders of other antibusing organizations that included the Ku Klux Klan, John Birch Society and Parents for Freedom. Although Local 761 has opposed school-desegregation busing since 1974, Cassady said, some persons and groups "are making the busing issue a black-and-white issue rather than an educational issue." Therefore, he said, Local 761 was withdrawing from ULAB and would not take part in it. But later in the week, Local 761 recording secretary Jim Luckett said he had received a petition from 456 union members calling for a special meeting to "discuss the busing issue." During the two-hour meeting at the IUE union, hall, 5153 Poplar Level Road, the local voted to rejoin ULAB, Minton said yesterday. He gave no estimate of the turnout, but said "a big number" of members attended. The vote to rejoin ULAB "wasn't too close," he said.

Local 761, the largest union local in Kentucky, has a membership of more than 13,000, Minton said. 4 YEAR CERTIFICATE 7.50 7.90 $1,000 Minimum Effective Annual Yield 30 MONTH Youth charged with arson in series of barn fires FRANKFORT, Ky.

The Harlan County Airport Board has asked that a county-operated sanitary landfill near the Harlan airport be closed. And while a search is under way for a new landfill site, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a report of noncompliance against the airport board because the landfill has remained open past a Dec. 31 deadline. A spokesman for the airport board said the noncompliance report means the airport authority will not be eligible for federal development funds, but that the report will not have any effect on operation of the airport.

The FAA said the landfill is adversely affecting airport safety, because it attracts birds and other animals that could interfere with aircraft. A spokesman for the Harlan County Solid Waste Commission said the commission would like to comply with the FAA and close the dump site, but the landfill cannot be closed until a new site is located and prepared. 90 DAY CERTIFICATE 5.75 6.00 Effective Annual Yield Police probe death of mine supervisor HARLAN, Ky, (AP) State police are investigating the death of a coal mine supervisor whose body was found near his home at Pathf ork early Saturday.
