Don't trust the Warsaw Voice -- I used to translate for them in 1996/97 -- the quality of their translations tends to be commeasurate with the rates they are willing to pay... ;))

President's Award to Industry
patterned on Queen's Award to Industry.
After all, everything is industry these days - hotel industry, lottery industry, murder industry even, so why not?
Was the question more about Nagroda or Kapituła? Council maybe? They advise the President, not make decisions, right?

Discussion
But seriously, "The Chapter of the Order of the Garter" is a term actually used on websites related to the British Royal Court, in contexts that have nothing to do with religion at all (found them a week ago and am unable to locate them now, but found two other ones - see below).
* However, Blue Mantle does not come from heraldic regalia, but rather from the blue cloak of the Order of the Garter; the office was reputedly created by Henry V to serve the Order. As for Black Rod, it is not a herald's title at all; the full title is Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod and his office is essentially that of doorkeeper to the chapter of the Order of the Garter (and since about 1520 to the House of Lords as well). http://members.tripod.com/AnTir_Heraldry/lar0299.htm
* 100-Chancellor of the Order of the Garter if not a peer (decree of the chapter of the Order of the Garter 23 April 1629). Since 1837 the chancellorship has been held with the Bishopric of Oxford, however. http://www.burkes-peerage.net/sites/peerage/sitepages/page62...
In a comprehensive dctry, the word "kapitu�a" in the required sense would need a "rare usage" qualifier. The absence of such in your Am. Heritage Dctry means that the source is not comprehensive (neither is the PWN-Oxford English-Polish Dctry of which I'm proud to be an author, which doesn't mean the word CHAPTER doesn't mean KAPITU�A in certain contexts).
Thanks everybody.
Czy co� powinno mnie razi� w Economic Award ? (taka forma jest w wielu miejscach, np.
http://www.gov.nf.ca/RuralExpo/Nominations.htm)
Z kolei "economy sth" kojarzy mi si� z czym� nastawiomym na oszcz�dno��. Correct me from wrong.
