97 communication and cooperation live on at NSF. To honor people who carry on with the ideals embodied in Walter Snyder's life, the National Environmental Health Associa tion, under President William A. Broadway (1970-71), and the National Sanitation Foun dation designed the Walter F. Snyder Award for presentation the first time in 1971. The Award is presented annually at the annual banquet during the NEHA Annual Conference. It includes a plaque, partial expenses to attend the meeting, and a beautiful mantle clock that operates on changes of atmospheric pressure. A candidate for the award can be, but does not have to be, a member of the National Environmental Health Association. The recognition is for outstanding accomplishments and notable contributions to public health and the quality of life, for demonstrated capacity to work with all interests in solving environmental problems, for knowledge and proficiency in utilizing voluntary standards to obtain objectives, and for leadership in securing action on behalf of environmental goals. Criteria and an application form appear annually in the November/December issue of the Journal of Environmental Health. Selection is made from among the candidates by a committee invited by NSF which includes the president and executive director of NEHA. Recipients of this prestigious award are:

A. Harry Bliss Editors' Award
In 1969, Dr. A. Harry Bliss, Editor and Nicholas Pohlit, Managing Editor of the Journal of Environmen tal Health conceived an award to recognize exemplary contributions to the editorial content - writers, peer reviewers, and other assistance - of the Journal. Since the association's professional journal is a product of contributors, it was believed to be fitting to recognize those people who had done an outstanding job in behalf of professional development. Upon the retirement of Dr. A. Harry Bliss from the position as Editor of the Journal, the award was named in his honor. He had been involved in publishing the Journal in some way for 40 years, had been influential in changing the name from The Sanitarian
A. Harry Bliss to the Journal of Environmental Health and in changing the format to its present size, as well as establishing the professional peer review process for all scientific manuscripts.
