Once-Given Awards
Over the years, new awards have been proposed and some given for a short time, only to be discontinued because of lack of support, either on the part of an industry sponsor or the association. In 1969, the Star Crystal Award was sponsored by Lyco Systems, Inc., a sustaining member of NEHA, to recognize outstanding accomplishments and contributions by sanitarians in the development, expansion and advance of environmental health and sanitation. It was intended to recognize worthy "field sanitarians." Criteria were published, nominations sought through the NAS Beacon, and a committee which included an officer of Lyco, the Executive Director of NAS and three members at large represent ing the NAS regions selected the winners. The recipients were announced quarterly in the Beacon and each received a plaque and attractive Steuben Glass Star Crystal at the NAS annual meeting. Winners of these awards during 1969 and 1970 were: Garnett H. DeHart, Georgia; William McClure, South Carolina; Andrew B. James, Mississippi; Edward P. Michalewicz, South Dakota; Sam Stephenson, Michigan. No newsletters were published from the spring of 1970 until the winter of 1975, and there is no record of the Star Crystal Award in the Journal ofEnvironmental Health; therefore, the fate of the award is not known. The E.B. Osborn Award was established by the National Environmental Health Association under President Monroe T. Morgan to honor E.B. Osborn of St. Paul Min nesota, who had made significant contributions to the association by funding several curriculum conferences and the production of a number of brochures on the associa tion's activities. The Osborn Award was to be given annually to recognize a business or industry that had contributed significantly to the association. It was first presented to Mr. Osborn who was chairman of the Board of Directors of Economics Laboratory, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota for his many contributions during the 10 years prior to 1975. It was given for four more years - in 1976 to M.C. Not tingham Companies of California; in 1977 to Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Co.; in 1978 to Hatco Corporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and in 1979 to Hancor, Inc. of Findlay, Ohio. No information is available on why this award has been inactive since 1979.
