But the guest of honor was a man, and the party was a divorce shower. When Andy Hoffmann split with his wife 18 months ago after two years of mar- riage, he lost the china, the silverware, the pots and pans, the towels and sheets, the stereo, even the bed frame. Since then the 28-year-old By ARCH MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) — Somebody said the crowd resembled a parade of Order of Canada members, but it was just a big reception to let Paul Martin flog his latest book. . x Martin, 82, was in the public eye for 48°years from the time he entered the House of Commons in 1935 through his cabinet portfolios under Mackenzie King, Louis St. Laurent, Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. He concluded his run as high commissioner to London in the 1970s. Liberal Leader John Turner was host at the National Arts Centre assembly of politicians, public servants, judges and aides, many of them now retired. Turner recalled that it was Martin who called on him in 1960 to ask the young Montreal lawyer to enter politics, which he did in 1962. visitors are welcome but not their idling motors, he said. Then there are assorted RCMP and other-patrol cars and “there are some 40 ministers’ cars, probably the largest fleet in the history of Parliament.” Caccia succeeded in having an anti-idling resolution endorsed which will be sent to the provinces and he also wants a national sticker campaign that would say: “I do not idle. I fight acid rain.” NEW NAMES? Benno Friesen, British Columbia Conservative, found another consensus recently when he proposed that more imagination be used in naming Parliament Hill landmarks, buildings and meeting areas. ‘The Hill now has an East Block, West Block and South Block. “Isn't that great? . . . Isn't that imaginative? . . . that not tug at your heart?” Friesen complained. “Our neighbors to the south are at times ingoistic or Does Capital Notebook The book, entitled A Very Public Life, is the second volume of the Martin biography. There were more than 1,000 invitations to the party. - Over the garlicked snails, breaded scallops and wine, Paul Martin Jr. introduced-his father and said he wanted to pay a special welcome to Progressive Conser- vative and NDP members “to the literary maelstrom that the Liberal party has become.” He's right. Jean Chretien is still selling his biography Straight from the Heart and John Roberts, another former Liberal minister, has written Agenda for Canada: Towards the new Liberalism. In fact, at the same time there was a reception for Roberts elsewhere. It was apparently much less lavish. “Fifty people and vegetable dip,” reported a guest. ONE MENTION There is only one mention of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in the Martin book. On page 320, Martin writes of a 1958 election campaign meeting where he saw a “very young Brian Mulroney whom I must confess I remember hardly at all.” Cleaner air on Parliament. Hill is the kind of motherhood issue the Commons can easily endorse, hence an all-party agreement to urge that motor vehicle engines be stopped idling there. Up to 3,000 tour buses a year, with more than 100 on peak days, converge there, complained Toronto Liberal Charles Caccia, a former environment minister. The inistie about their history but we are just the opposite.’ We tend to depersonalize our history at every turn.” - z Friesen says prominent citizens should be used to select names for Parliament Hill features to avoid political interference. ; SMOKERS’ RIGHTS Cleaner air outside Parliament is one thing, but how about inside? New Brunswick Conservative Bud Jardine told the House the other day that there are rights for smokers but early action needs to be taken “to designate, at least, no-smoking areas in all dining facilities and to ban outright smoking in all committee and conference rooms where ilation is either i or istent. Some hon. members: “Hear, hear.” FUR FLIES Dave Nickerson, Western Arctic Conservative, at - the risk of being mugged by animal rights activists, has struck a blow for his fur-trapping constituents with the_ help of Nancy Reagan and Mrs. Mikhail Gorbachev. The ladies made at least one appearance at the recent United States-Soviet summit in Geneva with fur garments, a mink coat in Mrs. in’s case. Said Nickerson: “These two leaders of world fashion are to be applauded not only for their excellent taste but also for their support of an industry which has time- honored traditions in-both North America and the Soviet Union.” COUNTRY MUSIC ‘Agriculture Minister John Wise has gone to unusual lengths, spies report, to get in tune as it were with his area of responsibility.

Friends who heard that his cupboards were bare decided he shouldn't have to wait to get remarried to eat off real plates again. So they threw him a divorce shower to cele- brate his new freedom and help him set up house as a bachelor. “I didn’t feel motivated to go out and refurnish my home by myself,” said Hoff- mann, whose divorce became final in the fall. “Now, with all my new gifts, it will be nice to have my life return to normal.” SMS TONS ANONYMOUS.

In fact, Bhoantitigdale’s. the trendy department store, re- ports that it's broadening its brid ister to encourage single people to sign up for the home furnishings of their choice, as well. “Why wait to get married — or remarried — to have nice things to entertain TORONTO (CP) — Mary Jones didn't know, nor could she have guessed what her daughter wanted to tell her. It has been two years since Jones's daughter sat down with her parents in their suburban living room and told them she is a lesbian. Jones reacted in a way psychologists say is typical. “First, I thought, ‘Well, I'll have to get her to a psy- chologist.’ I thought maybe she could get help, that she had just got in with the wrong group of people. “Of course, now I know it was silly of me. My next step was to start feeling guilty. I went through (my daugh- ter's) childhood to try and figure out’ what. I'd. done wrong.” For an unprepared parent, the news that a child is a homosexual can be devas- tating. Will Cupchick, a Tor- onto psychologist, says par- ents often blame themselves because they believe that as parents they influence their children's emotional growth. That may be true, but parents are unlikely to have any influence in determining their children’s sexuality, Cupchick says.. “No one really knows what the origins of sexuality are,” he said. The psychologist said that although many people can accept homosexuality intell- ectually, emotionally they can’t handle it when it in- volves one of their children. “They have to rewrite the scripts of their life com- pletely. All of a sudden there will be no weddings or grandchildren. And they have to deal with how friends and other members of the family are going to react. “... If they can’t accept it in a reasonable amount of time, parents have deeper problems and should seek professional help.” GETS Jones received help. from Parents of Lesbians and Gays, a group formed by Anne Rutledge after she learned she has a son. Jones took over some of the. responsibilities of the group when moved with their h it parents to accept them. comfortable young people are the easier it will be for their to Goderich, Ont., with her husband. Both women recommend parents read Now That You Know, written by Betty and Hayward Fairchild. It is the frank story of how parents cope with such situations. Join the Future T Barter Broker with Inge.
