This new program, which the
Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Coun-
cil is the first local organization
ic embark On, gives the Bnai
Brith an opportunity to "Spon-
sor A Fighting Ship" through the
purchase of United States War
Savings Bonds. It was decided by
the delegates of the Greater De-
troit Bnai Brith Council to spon-
sor two submarine chasers, and
to set the goal of sales in this
drive to the amount required to
assure the building of these two
submarine chasers.
Upon the launching of these
submarine chasers, the vessel's
prow will bear a large shield an-
nouncing: "This Fighting Ship
is sponsored and made possible by
the War Bond and Stamp pur-
chases of the People of the
Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Coun-
cil". When the ship is commis-
sioned, a suitable plaque, bear-
ing the above wording, will be
placed on the ship in an appro-
la Litt and prominent place.
Harry Yudkoff, president of
the Greater Detroit Bnai Brith
Council, asks the community to
get behind the council's "Spon-
sor A Fighting Ship" program by
buying bonds through Bnai Brith;
you can help raise the flag on
the two submarine chasers with
your purchases. If a Bnai Britn
bond representative fails to call_
on you, a call to Cherry 33'72
will bring one to your home or
office.
