6 The VANCOUVER SUN: May 19, 1971 Adjournment rime again in chess HYDRO STAFF Negotiators okay pact Negotiators for B.C. Hydra and Local 378 of the Office and Technical Employees Union have reached agreement on a new contract covering 2,300 employees throughout the province. Details are being withheld until members have seen a report on the terms, which have to be ratified by both the workers and Hydro's board of directors. Union president Ron Bone said today that settlements have also been negotiated for 300 employees of International Power and Engineering Consultants, a subsidiary of Hydro, and 60 employees of Inland Natural Gas Co. These settlements still require membership ratification.

Meanwhile, negotiations are continuing with mediator Clark Gilmour between Hydro and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 258. This involves 2,400 employees, many of whom are maintenance and construction linemen. The IBEW has twice threatened to serve strike notice but had not done so up to noon today. ever, a blunder with his rook on the 38th move while in time trouble enabled Fischer to snatch up a pawn and regain the initiative. Required to make 40 moves in the first Wi hours, Taimanov played his 40th move just seconds before his time expired.

Taimanov's questionable 38th move rendered helpless a passed pawn he had shepherded down to the sevsnth rank. Fisher's capture left him with a pawn majority on the queenside, where both kings were located. The end-game position thus reached is one which Fischer seldom fails to turn into a victory. And Taimanov, had he noticed, was deprived of the moral support of the three Russian analysts accompanying him, They spent most of the game watching the Stanley Cup hockey final on television in another part of the SUB. A crowd of close to 100 watched the chess game.

For the second time Fischer started late, allowing five minutes to elapse on his clock before making the first move. The game will be continued today. Fischer leads the match 1-0 after Taimanov resigned without further play in Sunday's adjourned game. Third game is Thursday at 4 p.m. Peter Hulbert Photo DRIVERS Glen and Westwood drives By BILL RAYNER Adjourning a game in chess is rather like kissing your mother-in-law: It's done only when necessary.

But grandmasters Bobby Fischer of the U.S. and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union nevertheless did it again Tuesday night in their world championship quarter-final match. On the 45th move and after five hours of play, they adjourned the second straight game of the 10-game match in the Student Union Building movie theatre at the University of B.C. This time, Taimanov as black sealed his 45th move in a position that had him a pawn down, with Fischer manoeuvring for a win. Fischer's king pawn opening prompted Taimanov to dive into an unusual variation of the Sicilian defence.

However, Fischer was just as prepared as he, and the first 12 moves were played rapidly. With the queens off the board and Fischer obtaining a strong attacking position in compensation for the loss of a pawn, Taimanov spent 47 minutes on his 13th move. Then, with his king unca-stled and a weak queen pawn, Taimanov had to employ all his resources for defence. Eventually he managed some counter-play, giving up a pawn of his own in an attempt to reach a draw. How-Impaired driver gets fine, jail James MacGregor, 20, of 5177 Spencer, was sentenced to seven days in jail and fined $200 Tuesday when convicted by provincial court Judge Harvey Sedgwick of impaired driving.

MacGregor was placed on probation for two years and his driver's licence suspended for six months when he was also convicted of dangerous driving. Charges of hit-run driving and theft of an automobile were stayed by the Crown. MacGregor was charged March 8 following an eight-mile car chase through city streets. At least five collisions occurred involving four private and three police vehicles. Gov't enters gravel Tuesday GET OK takeover of the Lipsett Indian collection.

The collection, which contains about 1,000 artifacts of Indians and primitive tribes from other parts of the world, is currently exhibited in the PNE's B.C. Pavilion. PNE directors agreed to meet museum officials to discuss details of the transfer, which was suggested by Vancouver city council last April. The directors also announced new gate admission prices for the annual fair next August. Adults will pay $1.50, teenagers $1 and children (under 12) 25 cents.

Last year the prices were $1 over 12 and 25 cents under 12. All school students will be admitted free on the first two Mondays of the fair, Aug. 23 and 30. The directors also announced that if attendance at the PNE grounds for all events keep up their current pace, total attendance for the 1970-71 fiscal year could top four million. while trucks block dispute Coquitlam's ban on Woodland, would effectively close access to the gravel pits at Pipe Line Road.

The other solution might be a new agreement between Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam over use of the roads. But Gilmore dismissed that in council debate Tuesday. "We know there's no way we'll get co-operation there," he said. The Coquitlam bylaw closing the Glen school route was given fourth reading Tuesday and needs only mayoral signature. In debating the by-law, Aid.

C. W. McKenzie, who. supported it, said: "We must hve the trucks either stopped or running back on their old route at Woodland. At least we have to stop this illegal action (of picketing)." At that point Jim Allard, a local gravel pit operator, said: "You're going to have exactly what is happening in Ireland now if you do that (close Glen Drive)." CANUCKS Pacific National Exhibition directors Tuesday gave the Canucks hockey club permission to apply to the Liquor Control Board for a licence to operate a lounge in the Coliseum.

Canucks public relations director Greg Douglas said the club had for some time been looking into the possibility of opening a lounge, similar to the Hot Stove Lounge at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. He said the Canucks needed permission from the PNE before applying to the LCB. Douglas said the lounge would be operated in a room seating between 400 and 500 people on the east side of the Coliseum. Definite plans on who could use the lounge have not been established, he said, although it may be operated as a membership lounge for season ticket-holders.

It was the closing of Woodland to trucks of more than 10,000 pounds which led to all the trouble in the first place.

The banning was done by Port Coquitlam council passing two bylaws. These forced the trucks to use Westwood the territory of neighboring Coquitlam. But local parents didn't like the heavy trucks using West-wood and going past Glen school. So they blocked the street with pickets and, Tuesday, the truckers retaliated by blocking the street. Another is to get Woodland classified as an arterial road.

So Tuesday, with truckers and parents facing each other in angry confrontation, Coquitlam council rushed through a bylaw of its own banning trucks from Westwood and the Glen school area. Such a ban, added to Port Sun Staff Reporter Officials of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam were meeting with two provincial government ministers in Victoria this afternoon to try to solve the continuing gravel truck dispute. Highways Minister Wesley Black and Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Campbell were meeting council representatives from both municipalities. Meanwhile, a two-day truce was declared in the dispute. Truckers rolled away about 50 big dump trucks which had blocked Glen and Westwood drives for 18 hours.

And parents of children at Glen elementary school agreed not to put up more picket lines to black the streets. That brought things back to who is now considered normal on the street trucks using the wrong side of Westwood for about a quarter of a mile under the direction of flagmen.
