NARAMATA, B.C, (CP)
— Delegates attending the
British Columbia. con-
ference of the United
Church of Canada defeated
two resolutions Sunday
which: ‘would deny or-
dination to homosexuals
under any circumstances.

Discussion on the con-
troversial issue was
heated, and came in the
wake of remarks made by
the church's moderator,
Clarke MacDonald, who
said. Jn Toronto on the
weekend he has not taken a

’ public. stand on the
question - of ordaining
homosexuals because the
church is already seriously
divided on the issue.

Seven resolutions
regarding the ordination of
homosexuals were brought
before the 630 delegates
attending the weekend
conference in this
Okanagan community —.
four of them asking the
general council to delay its
decision until a referen-
dum of the total mem-
bership could be held.

| breakthrough design

TORONTO (CP) —- An artificial leg

* designed for running, based on an idea by
’ the late Terry Fox, has been unveiled by a

Hamilton research team...

Heralded as’ a breakthrough in the
design of artificial limbs, the device will
enable those with-legs amputated above:
the knee to run in comfort without an awk-
ward gait.. ;

Officials of the War Amputations of
Canada, which supported the research
project at Chedoke-McMaster Hospital in
Hamilton, are calling the innovation ‘‘the
legacy of Terry Fox" because he
developed the basic concept while
preparing for his 1980 run for cancer

research.

But the one-legged runner -— whose
Marathon of Hope ended near Thunder
Bay, Ont., with the discovery of further
cancer which claimed his life — didn't
have the technical expertise, money or
time to refine the crude model he built.

Led by Dr. Guy Martel, the Hamilton
team has spent $17,000 and three years in
developing a leg he says will allow am-

was price of freedom |

TORONTO (CF) — For Tieu and Khiem
Tran, whose children escaped from
Vietnam five years ago, the yalue of eight
ounces of gold paid to a boatman cannot be
measured in dollars and cents.

The family, reunited last week and
spending their first Mother’s. Day in
Canada on Sunday, knows the gold was the
downpayment on the precious commodity
of freedom,

Since Tieu Tran paid the gold.to have his
aldest son, Nam, escape, Nam and a
brother and sister who managed to flee
with him have worked to see the family
reunited.

After five years of sacrifice, they saw
their parents along with 22-year-old
brother, Viet, arrive safely in‘Canada a
week ago and the laughter, smiling and.

- tears of joy haven't stopped since.
