We are a fairly new community ef only a
few years, all ef our houses are new, we are taxpayers in
the City ef Atlanta and Ceunty ef Fulten. We here in this
area leve our community, eur lecatien, eur neighbers, and
very much desire te keep this area white, as yeu and all
ether white people in Atlanta desire te retain their areas
for white only.
"Bleck Busting" is being carried en mere
and more in our area by Negro Realyvtors, and ether Negre
Organizations, and undeubtedly backed by the NAACP,
We, in the Peyteon-Utey Forest Community
are asking fer yeur support to help keep our community
white and te help maintain the peace and tranquility ef eur
community as we knew prier to about December of last year,
when the "Bleck Busting” really got started. We ask for

and property listings in eur area, We ask for yeur support
in zoning property along Gorden Road, S.W. as M-1, property
