The ■ Dear Editor: We are writing as concerned parents and home owners. We., are very disturbed by the study that Is being made to determine whether to turn a great part of Yancey County into a National Park, and we wonder If the people here realize the burden and hardship they will face If this comes about. <u We have lived in several different parts of the United States it and know how much it cost and the way people live away from »g here. We moved back in 1970 and bought property and a home (I which we have worked very hard for. We thought we had found H a place where our children could build homes and raise thelr .2 families. Now we are faced with the threat of a National Park which would take our homes and land and change one of thong most beautiful and unspoiled parts of the country left : anywhere. Our children can hunt, fish, swim, and go on outings and <l, eiyoy themselves now, so what could a National Park give us d that we don’t already have? Seems to me the people that wffl rv not be in the Park will have to pay higher taxes with that land ■:> off the tax roles. Y Go by the U.S. Forest Service Office in Burnsville and check the maps and see for yourselves how much property would be taken and where the proposed boundaries are to be. Do we - want it to happen here? If not, we’d better let our . Congressman know! Lamar Gudger has a toll-free number In v Washington, D.C. that he says we can call with our problems. The number is 1-800-452-2821. Write him, or call and let him o know now what your feelings are, before it is too late. * Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Chrisawn K Route 5 x Burnsville, N.C. 28714 [Editor’s Note: Congressman Lamar Gudger’s address In Washington is as foDows: -A Congressman Lamar Gudger s 428 Cannon Building t WnchSnotnn.
