A LOT OF wisecracks got flipped around about that trade fair seminar the Chamber of Commerce helped sponsor last December — "Si- beria '75 — Opportunities for Washington State." Well, I'm delighted to report that the Chamber's newsletter is brightening this dull day with a dan- dy slip: "If you missed that great Soviet Trade Seminar held last December, you'll be pleased to hear that transcripts of the program are not (sic) available free (yes, free!) from the Chamber's Commerce Department." Or is that really Infla- tion Note No. 3,483 in disguise? . . . Life's small ironies: a shoplifter was busy out at Knoll Lum- ber Co. in Kenmore the other day. What did he swipe? "Most of a home burglar alarm system," sighs Carl Knoll.

A NEW magazine is cranking up — claimed to be the first nat'l mag ever published out of, Seattle, but I get the feeling our long-memoried old-timers are ready to strike. At any rate, "Young Athlete," a bimonthly, is being readied by Jim Rothaus, who says, "It will be printed in Illinois, distributed nationally out of New York, but published in Seattle. Rothaus is a Queen Anne and UW grad, onetime assistant coach for the Continental Football League Rangers, also the Se- attle Ramblers, with whom he played for nine years. Rothaus has been a publisher's rep here for 21 years and plans to have Young Athlete out by June. "It's the first sports mag aimed at young people," he says, "and if you're 43, a young ath- lete can be 35." Depressing, but true . . . And Steve Palmer signs us off today with that bumper sticker on an old Pontiac: "Don't Hit Me — My Lawyer's in Jail."
