Members of the Ft. Wood Fire Department started the blaze rather than extinguish one. The fire was started in the old theater on Iowa Avenue next to Nutter Field House. Smoke could be seen billowing skyward as the fire did its job. The building had been scheduled for destruction to make room for a new facility. It was decided to burn the building after removing most of the salvagable material. According to some long-time employees on post, the theater was built around 1942. It served as a primary source of entertainment for thousands of soldiers. The center was one of four which were capable of seating more people than the largest theater in Springfield, Mo. The first presentation at the theater was on April 25, 1942. Movie tickets cost soldiers 20 cents. They were also able to buy a book of tickets at a cost of 14 cents per ticket. The theater became obsolete when Abrams and Baker Theaters were built.

FLAMES have taken their toll as the last remaining vestiges of the old theater slowly burn to the ground.

January 18, 1979 Fort Leonard Wood GUIDON--5 Meunter family pet goat wears cast By PFC Dianna Glanville "Although Pete is somewhat of a pest, it will be nice when he gets back on his feet, all four of them," said William T. "Ted" Muenter, director of the Central Texas College Branch at Truman Education Center. Pete is a four-year-old goat who almost severed his left rear leg. It was necessary to put a cast on it. The Muenters' house near Devils Elbow hasn't been the same since Pete arrived. The dog eats newspapers and leaves like the goat. The goat climbs around like the cat and runs around with the cats and dogs.

"We had to put a bell on Pete when deer season came around so no one would mistake him for a deer," said Ella Muenter, "but now he really seems to like the bell." Pete doesn't get around much with his cast which is good. Otherwise the Muenters would have to watch for him at his favorite place on top of the wood pile where he can look inside the house. "Can't be too careful," said Mrs. Muenter. "We wouldn't want him to fall and break something else." Olson, Murphy take Army photo honors

Two Fort Leonard Wood soldiers have been named winners in the All-Army level of the 17th Interservice Photography Contest. ELLA MUENTER offers some food to Pete, the family's pet goat.

But to Mom and Dad, who have to .. drive back and forth to work on ice and snow-covered roads, it brings thoughtful concern. A few weeks ago old man winter dropped his holiday gift on Fort Leonard Wood. We've gone from ice to snow and snow and more snow. There's a nightly family gathering around the television set to see what the weatherman has in store for us. The parents are

interested in driving conditions and the children in whether school is on or off. To the parents a day at home can mean that their work at the office will pile up. The children enjoy playing in the snow but some miss the companionship of friends who don't live in their neighborhood. So what do you do when it snows? It seems to be up to the individual. Some people like to curl up in a comfortable chair, perhaps in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace, if they have one to read. Some think a snowy day is a great opportunity to take a nap. Then 7 : ~ there are those who like to go walking, letting the snowflakes fall like gentle kisses on their faces.

Hunting is another pastime. Ever watch a child at play in the snow? Sledding is fun but there's the urge to leave an imprint in the snow.
