Abstract

THE American Association for the Advancement of Science - George Westinghouse Science Writing Awards for 1947 have been presented to George A. Keaney, feature writer on the New York World-Telegram, for his series of five stories on blood, and more especially on the Rh factor of blood, which appeared in the New York World-Telegram, March 18-22, 1947 ; and to Steven M. Spencer, associate editor of the Saturday Evening Post, for his article, "New Hope for the Anemic" (dealing with folic acid), which appeared in the December 14,1946, issue of that journal. An honourable mention for the Magazine Writing Award was given Lorus J. and Margery J. Milne, free-lance writers, for their article, "The Life of the Water Film", published in the June 1947 issue of Natural History. The two awards, of 1,000 dollars each, are available from funds provided by the Westinghouse Educational Foundation of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and under the administration of the American Association, and are made in an effort to stimulate and maintain a high standard of science reporting for the lay public through newspapers and general magazines.
