as

Left fo right: Standing: VICTOR BLOOMFIELD, president,
Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Council ; the REV. ROBERT E.
BURTT, minister, Mayflower Congregational Church; seated:
MRS. LEWIS MANNING, president, Greater Detroit Bnai Brith
Women's Council, and Rabbi JACOB E. SEGAL of Northwest
Hebrew Congregation.

An important event in inter-
faith relations will take place
at the Northwest Hebrew Con-
gregation next Thursday, when
Bnai Brith, through three of its
lodges, Pisgah, Tikvah and De-
troit, will act as hosts at a blood
bank rally, in which Bnai Brith
members and members of May-
flower Congregational Church,
the Northwest Hebrew Congre-
gation, and Perfection Lodge of
the Masonic Order also will par-
ticipate to donate blood. The
last three named organizations
are using this means of setting
up a blood bank of their own.
This arrangement was set up
at a recent meeting at the May-
flower Congregational Church
at which the following were
present: Victor Bloomfield, Mrs.
Lewis Manning, Rabbi Jacob .E.
Segal, the Rev. Robert E. Burtt,
Mrs. Boris Bronson, Leo Polk
and Harold Hyde.

Of the blood to be donated next
Thursday, 25% will be used for
the armed forces in Korea,
From the wide-spread interest
shown in this project, it is
hoped that the previous record
of 190 pints given in one unit
will be broken. The committee
anticipates that 300 pints will
be donated that night.
All members of Bnai Brith,
men and women, • are urged to
be present at the Northwest He-
brew Congregation on the even-
ing of Oct. 5, from 6 to 12 p.m.
Refreshments will be served to
all blood donors.
"It is hoped that this event
will be so successful that it can
be repeated at least four times
a year, with the same groups
participating," stated Leo Polk,
Blood Bank chairman of Great-
er Detroit Bnai Brith Council,
who will be donating his sixty-
seventh pint of blood on this oc-
casion.
