of Glens Falls discusses a piece of beech wood with Richard D. Weigel, of the Lake George-Lake Champlain Regional Planning Board. Weigel has been making a study of the forest products industry in the economy of the five-county region. They are at the site of a Finch-Pruyn forest management project in northern Washington County. Regional Planning Board Studies Forest Industry By LEE COLEMAN Staff Writer Things have changed a lot since the days huge log drives were held on the Upper Hudson River, but the forest industry still plays an important part in the North County's economy.

Gone are the timber barons and wrenching log booms in the spring but U.S. Forest Service figures indicate that 84.3 per cent of the Lake George-Lake Champlain Regional Planning Board's five-county region is still forested. With this in mind, Richard D. Weigel, associate planner with the regional board that includes Warren, Washington, Hamilton, Essex and Clinton Counties in its purview, is undertaking a two-year forest industry study. He has completed the first year of the study that deals with the forest industry in the economy of the region.

"In terms of personal income derived from wages and salary more than one-tenth (of the region's total) is derived from the forest industry," Weigel said setting at his desk in the Lake George Institute of Glens John C.

Judge Raps Carey On Clemency BUFFALO (AP) Far from being a political prisoner deserving clemency, Martin Sostre is "a drug dealer who presents real danger to our society," the judge who presided at his trial wrote to Gov.

Hugh Carey. The letter, which was made public Friday, was sent by State Supreme Court Justice Frederick M. Marshall to Carey before the governor granted Christmas executive clemency to Sostre. Marshall sentenced the 52-year-old convicted heroin dealer to 30 to 41 years in prison in 1968. "The transcript of the trial before the undersigned is replete with threats by Mr.

Sostre against the presiding judge and other members of the community," Marshall wrote to Carey. M'rds of Thanks I wish to thank Dr. Zurlo, Dr. Paganelli and Dr. Depan for helping me.

My mind is on prayers at Messiah and those at St. John the Divine, Washington, York, Canterbury, Antioch, and the Cathedral Church of Con-stantine. 2,000 years ago the Almighty sent Angels to shepherds to herald glad tidings. Richard J. Fuss Thanks to everyone at Albany Medical Center, VA Hospital, and G.F.

Hospital on my surgery. The old Khan suffered for years but no doctor would treat him. He dies if he fails. Maybe MacArthur worked on it and a rich oil man hushed it up. Thanks.

He said this would be one of the questions in the survey that is intended for forest land owners of at least 25-acres of forest land in the region. He said many of the members of the planning board's advisory committee on the forest study made up of people closely connected with the forest products industry in the region feel that the biggest thing that could help the industry is educating the forest land owners. Weigel, in his survey introduction, outlines seven services to help the private forest landowner get information and help on forest management, much of it free.

For example, In-ternational Paper Co. has a landowner assistance program that is designed to help landowners increase the productivity of their forest lands. Finch Pruyn has a similar "service forestry program." The big factors in the area's paper industry are pulp and paper, saw mills and timber harvesters, Weigel said. In the second part of his study, Weigel, with the help of the advisory committee, will make recommendations on how to improve the industry in the region. Weigel said he already has had enough input from persons connected with the industry to say that the Adirondack Park Agency and "general government regulations" are high on the "problem He said some members of the industry feel that the regulations have "gotten to the point of harassment." "At the end of 1976 we would like to report on what the major problems are in the industry and hopefully help to rectify some of them," Weigel said.

He feels the regional board is "an agency trying to help the economy, trying to represent the five counties."

John Goff, 23, was remanded to the Warren County Jail in lieu of $2,500 pending a Monday reappearance. Police (Continued from Page 1.) caused by the weather were beyond counting. Queen-sbury Police, for example, had three "fender-benders" since midnight Wednesday and numerous calls about cars off the road, as did, all other State Police stations, sheriff's departments and local police. The State Police substation at Whitehall called roads in its coverage area improving "but not good" Friday afternoon. Troopers out of Chestertown called roads in the north "terrible." Troopers from Salem said main roads were all right but couldn't say the same for secondary routes.

Troopers from Schroon Lake and Indian Lake said roads were still slippery.

"This means that more than $60 million in personal income is derived from the forest industry in the region," he said. Weigel has done more than just sit at his desk and stare at old statistics. He has been on his feet doing countless hours of interviews with almost all the forest product businesses in the five-county region. Within the next two weeks, Weigel will be sending out a private forest land owner survey that includes several articles of information about forest management and timber harvesting guidelines. Of the 84 per cent forested land in the five-county region, 50 per cent is privately owned and 34 per cent forest preserve land owned by the state.

Weigel noted that the 50 per cent privately owned land was where the timber supply comes from but that it is questionable how much of this land is actively managed to supply the wood products industries like Finch-Pruyn Co. Inc. of Glens Falls and International Paper. "What is the attitude of miles and was rerouted by troopers. Moreau troopers said roads in the northern Adirondacks were still "very treacherous." Light freezing rain was predicted overnight.

Troopers received reports that roads would be clear but with icy spots. The high temperature Friday was 33 and the low was 11. According to figures at the Warren County Airport, 1.28 inches of precipitation fell Friday. Today's high will be between 30 and 40, with the low in the teens or low 20s. It should be variably cloudy, with a chance of flurries.

Barber said his city crews tried to keep roads open that day, and would go out again Friday night to clean up downtown and perhaps in front of churches for the weekend.

Barber said the weather service he uses predicted overnight temperatures would stay in the 29 to 33 range, which meant freezing could not be too severe.
