There were of course mal}Y more activities at the confer­ence, such as the well organized companions' program, themany hospitable hospitality suites and a wide range of busi­ness meetings.

The conference overall was very successful. The organiza­tion was superb and the convention facilities as good asavailable anywhere in the world. Special thanks go out to theexhibitors and supply companies who provided help in termsof time, personnel and hospitality. Most important of allhowever, in the words of Barry McConnell, "the thanks haveto go to the members of the Institute who came to Winnipeg,because ultimately without them the conference could not bea success."

We now look forward to our next conference, which willbe held in Montreal, and ask you to lend your support to ournew National President, Martin Stauvers, during his tenure.

Institute A wardThis year's Institute Award winner, George H. Gold­

schmied, exemplifies the type of member for whom thisaward was created. Many people have had, are having andwill have careers of distinguished service to the CIFST. Few,however, can boast of the record of accomplishment thatGeorge has built for himself over the years.

George joined the Montreal Food Technologists' Asso­ciation (M FTA) in 1951 and worked his way up through theexecutive group to become chairman in 1960-61. These wereformative years for CIFST and George developed the firstCanadian Food Technologists' Association directory in1956. Later, in 1958 and again in 1961, George served onconference committees for the CIFT conferences held inMontreal.

Over the period 1961-1979 George served on and chaireda number of our national committees. Taking the normalsteps along the way he became National President of CIFT

for 1966-67. As is always the case with someone as involvedas George, his interests and services have been turned out­ward as well. From 1962 to 1966 George wasa member of theCanada Mysore Project of the U.N. Freedom from HungerCommittee and was in charge of fund raising and publicspeaking appearances in Quebec. He was a member of thejoint liaison committee with AIC that laid the groundworkfor the CIFST-AIC Conference held in Guelph, Ontario, in1977. He is currently a member of the Canadian FoodIndustries Scholarship Committee, as he has been since 1969,serving as chairman from 1978 to 1980. George has also beena longstanding member of the Chemical Institute of Canada,the Institute of Food Technologists and L'Ordre desChimistes du Quebec.

George has a most interesting personal and professionalbackground including B.Sc. graduation in Honours Chemis­try from the Catholic University, Peking, China (1947). Heworked briefly for Norda Ltd. as a development chemist andmoved in 1949 to McLean's Food Products Ltd. where heremained until 1967. George worked through many posi­tions, becoming Vice-President (Operations) in 1962.'Since1967 our award winner has been employed by Food ProductsLtd., subsequently Foodpro National Inc. Appointed Secre­tary-Treasurer in 1979, he is currently responsible foradministration, finance, personnel and taxation.

Our congratulations and sincere thanks go out to Georgefor all that he has done for this Institute. We show ourappreciation through the simple eloquence of the InstituteAward. While expressing our thanks, we must also remem­ber with gratitude the support that must come from anemployer to allow the commitment of time and effort thatgoes into a career such as George's. To his employers, pastand present, also goes a message of sincere appreciation.

William J. Eva A wardThis award is given by CIFST to honour members of our

Institute who have made outstanding contributions to theCanadian food industry through research and service. Dr.Douglas B. Emmons joins a small group of highly esteemedfood technologists as this year's William J. Eva Awardwinner. Doug is involved in a career that has m le a verysignificant impact on the Canadian food inoustry andparticularly the dairy-related arm of that industry.

While maintaining an enviable publication record at thescientific level he has also been able to translate the results ofacademic research into useful technological recommenda-

tions with direct benefit to the industry. Anv individualcapable of wearing two such distinct hats so well is to be heldin the highest regard. Publication records (56 scientific and106 technical papers) speak for themselves. Acceptance bythe industry in various advisory roles and in the supervisionof a research budget in excess of $1.5 million under theauspices of the Canadian Dairy Commission indicatesDoug's abilities to serve the industry directly.

Doug received his B.S.A. from the University of Guelphin 1952 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University ofWisconsin in 1953 and 1957, respectively. He is currentlyemployed at the Food Research Institute of AgricultureCanada (Ottawa). He holds memberships in a number ofother societies including IFT, AI C, ADSA and SCITEC andis a member of the Council for Agricultural Science andTechnology.

In addition to his professional commitment Doug hasalso found time to be actively involved with CIFST. He waschairman of the Ottawa Section (1976-77), representedOttawa at Council and was instrumental in the formation ofthe Dairy Subject Interest Group, serving as both secretaryand chairman.

Clearly, CIFST has found in Doug Emmons a mostworthy recipient of the William J. Eva Award. Ourcongratulations go out to Doug as we recognize hisexceptional career and contribution with this award.

Treasurer's ReportDon Beckett noted that the finances of the Institute had

been reviewed by Thorne Riddell, chartered accountants.The balance sheet indicates an accrued surplus of$71, 165, upfrom a surplus of $47,184 in 1979. This amount means thatthe Institute is getting closer to its goal of having one year ofoperational expenses. The Treasurer noted that the excess ofrevenue over expenses of $23,981 would only have beenapproximately $1,000 if it had not been for the 1980Conference surplus.
