New Trend in Inter-Faith Relations As Christians, Jews Join Blood Bank 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.
