Title A name given to the resource The Religious Newsweekly Editor NANCY LAWRENCE 9RNW2/25/57 TUESDAY February 26 Appeal for Aid to Interracial Community Heard by 1500 An appeal for new members to join a Christian interracial community in the Deep South was made by the Rev. C Conrad Browne before a throng of 1500 people who jammed a Brotherhood Week meeting in South Bend, Ind., last week. But he warned them that it wouldn't be easy. Twelve rounds of rifle fire have been pumped into his house, he said, narrowly missing his daughter, and bombing and burnings continue to plague Koinonia, the interracial community farm which he directs in Americus, Ga. The Brotherhood Convocation, sponsored by the St. Joseph County Council of Churches, heard Rosa Page Welch, noted singer, and also witnessed a production of Thornton Wilder’s drama, "The Unerring Instinct.” Mr. Browne reported on the wave of violence directed against the sixty-odd families living on the farm. On the advice of community project leaders, about one-third of the families have since moved away, he said. Coupled with the violence came an economic boycott, said Mr. Browne. "No local market will buy our produce, feed salesmen will not sell to the farms, fuel dealers have discontinued deliveries, no one will process our cotton and insurance has become unavailable.” Although he did not appeal for funds personally, several ministerial associations, local and state church councils are sponsoring projects to aid the community. Mr. Browne told his audience: “When our fuel was cut off, we got our own gas pumps but they became targets for shotgun blasts and we lost our supply of butane gas and building materials in fires. The problem of insurance is still not solved,” he said, adding, “one company after another has dropped our policies, including a New Zealand firm.” Those remaining at Koinonia are determined to carry on, declared Mr. Browne, who also thanked local and state church councils for their sympathy and support.
