Mary De Garmo of Berkeley, Calif, received the 1971 International Humanities Service Award, given by the American Overseas Association (all Red Cross workers who served overseas). She was cited for her "human kindness, benevolence, and self-sacrifice, for her work in providing music braille for the blind, and her leadership in the transcrip- tion of Braille M~si~." Presentation was made by Edwin Rounds, Presi- dent of the Association, at the Sheraton Palace Hotel in San Francisco Previous recipients of the award include Bob Hope and Pearl Buck. .

She testified before Senate hearings and after moving to Michigan gave over 50 talks there and in Iowa before civic groups . . She pursued the subject of Alaska statehood with the legislative chairman of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) at its national convention in Detroit, explaining that after purchasing Alaska so cheaply from Russia, the U.S. had never fulfilled the "Trea- ty of Cession" and could indeed lose it. "The GFWC had advocated statehood for Alaska for 10 years but when this was brought to their attention the state presidents put needed pressure on their Congressmen and deserve much credit for making Alaska a state," she explained. Johanna represented Alaska at three national conventions of the GFWC. Johanna's other roles included organizing the first Toastmistress Club, giving talks six times weekly for the Crippled Children'S Association and spearheading sponsorship of art exhibits.

Washington State University distance star Henry ~t t Rono has been named "Sportsman of 1978" by European sportswriters in a poll of Associated Press members. Rono, a junior from Kenya majoring in Industrial Psychology, shocked the tra.ck world by es- tablishing four world records In less than three months early last year. Rono set his first world mark April 8 when he completed 5,000 meters at Berkeley, Calif., in 13:08.4. On May 13 in Seattle, he broke the world 3,000-meter steeplechase standard by running 8:05.4. Rono's final two marks were set abroad. He completed 10,000 meters in 27: 22.47 June 11 at Vien- na, Austria. His fourth world mark came on June 27 at Oslo, Norway when he ran 3,000 meters in 7: 32.1. ::: As veteran track writer Bob Paine of the ::: Spokesman-Review pointed out "Rono is the only man ever to hold world records in all three classic Olympic distances (steeplechase, 5,000 and 10,000 meters) at any time, let alone all at the same time. And he broke every record by at least three seconds - veritable demolitions in a sport where records usually are lowered by tenths.".
