Debs annual award being hung in the hall beside framed copies of their citation. To date two persons have been so honored,—John L. Lewis, president emeritus of the United Mine Workers of America and founder of the CIO and Norman Thomas, Debs* successor as leader of the socialist party.It is estimated that present remodelling will take several weeks and the home will be! closed to the public until further notice.
