Rev. Hugh Halton's Award

In 1957, the Catholic War Veterans of New Jersey awarded R.I.-born Rev. Hugh Halton, along with other two N.J. men, its highest award for doing "the most during the year for God, country, and home." The two other men were James P. Mitchell, U.S. secretary of labor from 1953 to 1961 during the Eisenhower administration; and Vincent A. Weiss, managing editor of the Monitor newspaper.
