Mr. and Mrs. George Newton heard from both their sons in the service last week, and both are well and say that they are "doing fine." They hope to be home again some day soon. Both are in the Pacific. Cpl. Cuple Newton has been in the service since June 10, 1942, and is with the Wildcat Division, in the Central Pacific. He went overseas in July, after training at Camp Rucker. Houston Newton, F 1/C. U.S. Navy, has been in the service since August 26, 1943. He took part in the Normandy invasion, and spent five months in the European Theater.
