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. This one-month drive from Jan. 24 to Feb. 21 to sell $1,000,000 of United States War Savings Bonds is now in full swing, ac- cording to Mrs. Lillian Aaron, president of Pisgah Auxiliary, and Max Goldhoff, treasurer of Pisgah Lodge, who are co-chair- men of this city-wide drive.

And the Christian leaders under whose guidance these great state- ments had been drawn up, looked eagerly for Jewish championship of the same-high-minded goals.
