WISCONSIN RAPIDS DAILY TRIBUNE 8-Year-OlJ Disappeared at Night Page 2 Wednesday, June 13, 1962 Open Three-Day Sales Seminar At Consolidated Girl Is Gone, but Mystery Remains Group Tours New State Youth Camp DRL'MMOXD, Wis. AP Gov. Gaylord Nebon led a group of Local and Area Obituaries TACOMA, Wash. (AP) Say you are the parents of four happy children, living in a pleasant home in a quiet neighborhood. Then one morning you awaken and find your 8-year-old daughter is gone from her bedroom.

There is a frantic search. Days, weeks and months pass and there are only false clues and dead ends. This happened to Mr. and -Mrs. Donald S.

Burr the morning of i 3 not a likely mark for a kidnaper. The father is a warehouseman at nearby Camp Murray. The night before the disapjwar-anre, tlie Burrs put their four children to bed about 8 p.m. Ann Marie and Mary both had upstairs rooms. The parents went to bed about 11 p.m.

They said they locked and chajned the front door, locked the back doov and made sure all the windows were closed. Sometime during the night or early morning, Ann Marie brought Mary downstairs because she was crying. Uncertain of the time and not fully awake, Mrs. Burr sent the children back upstairs. It was the last time she saw Ann Marie.

Investigators found no sign of a struggle in Ann Marie's bedroom. Nothing was distrubed in the house. How anyone could have gotten the girl out of tlie house without awakening the parents remains a mystery. tain, -has a 500-page file on the Ann Marie case on a rack above his desk. "I've read every page in that file four times," said Drost, "and it reads tlie same each time." Missing person bulletins have been sent to every state and to Canada and Mexico.

When Ann Marie first disappeared, hundreds of searchers combed the city's wooded areas and vacant lots. Police made a 'house-to-house check of the neighborhood. All known child molesters and sex offenders were questioned. 'With no proof Ann Marie was abducted, the FBI could only stand by to assist. Although police are almost certain there was an abduction, the case still has not been listed officially as kidnaping.

Ann Marie was described as a happy, intelligent child, somewhat shy. She was ready to enter the third grade in a few days. Her parents, not wealthy, were Aug. 31, 1961: More than nine months later the case of Ann Marie Burr still is an agonizing mystery. It as crld and rainy that Aug.

31. Mrs. Burr, 33, awakened shortly after 50 a.m. She heard their youngest child, Mary, 3, crying. Mary was bothered by a cast put on her arm after an accident.

The other children, Greg, 5, and Julie, 7, were asleep in a basement bedroom. Bedroom Empty When Mrs. Burr looked in Ann Marie's bedroom, it was empty. The Burrs searched every room and closet in the two-story brick home. Then they called police.

There was ample cause for alarm. The front door, locked and latched with a night chain the County Board (Continued from Page 1) the decision was made, almost without exception, on a purely sectional basis, without even a chance for discussion of our proposal. "We had hoped you would act in a spirit of cooperation, since we have done nothing to oppose an extension center in Marsh-field." Public Wishes Ignored Schneider charged the board ith ignoring tlie wishes of over 9.000 South Wood County citizens who signed petitions requesting an extension center. "You haven't done anything here to damage me, or the other adults in this area," he said. "What you have done in refusing to cooperate with us is to dam- loionlY" jSkjf.

A small living 'room window, closed the night before, also was open, A bench beneath' the window was overturned. Donald and Beverly Burr live now in a tangled web of confusion, sorrow and apprehension hoping against mounting odds that their blonde, hazel-cyed daughter may be alive.

No ransom ever was asked. No ready explanation is available. Tacoma police are just as puzzled. Hnndreds Questioned More than 1,500 persons were questioned in the first 12 days of the search. Robert J.

Drost, detective cap age the educational opportunities of our children, of which there are some 15,000 in South Wood County." Scarles deplored the fact that the board, which had gone on record in favor of two extension centers in the county, now seems unwilling to help remove one of the obstacles to such a facility in the Wisconsin Rapids area. He said he had hoped not to see "a revival of the north-south sectionalism which was so rampant on the board some 20 years ago." Kilp Makes Plea Near the close of the day's session, F. G. Kilp, Port Edwards, made an impassioned plea to take the resolution off the table and adopt it, but his words fell on deaf ears. He said the tabling action "can only be considered in a punitive way.

That's the last tiling I think any member of this board would like to have said in interpretation of its action. But ever since we started working on this UW center matter there was a creeping feeling that we were going back to the sectionalism that once existed. Urges Unity "This resolution today was designed to show that Wood County is working fn unity for the benefit of its children in all areas of the county," Kilp declared. "In fairness to South Wood County, I think some member from North Wood should move to take the resolution off the table and adopt it not for ourselves but for the benefit of our children and children's children." As Kilp concluded his appeal, Board Chairman C. W.

Mitten, Marshfield, called for a report of the per diem and mileage committee (always the concluding report at any board session) and immediately thereafter a motion Peter Bray, Grand Bahama Islands; daughters, Mrs. Guj TLsehendorf, Arpin, and Mrs, Roger Cole, Green Lake; two brothers.

The camp had been scheduled for erection in or near Interstate Park in St. Croix County. Wilbur Schmidt, director of tlie Welfare Department, said construction problems made it impossible to use the Interstate location this year and an arrangement was worked out with tlie Conservation Department to use the White River center for one year. As the governor's party arrived, 92 boys aged 16 to 18 who are enrolled for a six-week program, were getting things in shape for themselves and as many as 100 others who will follow for another six-week program.

The boys earn $18 a week for 40 hours of work and receive free meals and housing. They were chosen from applicants from every section of the slate. The camp is under the direction of Fred Lengfeld, a La Crosse State College professor. 42 Traffic Injuries Here in Five Months A fatal accident involving an elderly bicyclist, the second traffic death in Wisconsin Rapids during 1962, figured in Police Chief R.

Discusses Alcoholism Donald F. Lew, Milwaukee, consultant to industry on problems of alcoholism, told of "The Disease Concept of Alcoholism-Its Negative Aspects in Therapy." "A chronic drinker lets his farrtily, religion and future go down the drain," Lew said, "but when his job is in jeopardy, he usually will cooperate in seeking rehabilitation this is the most practical time to approach him." The consultant said that many attempts at therapy fail Tsecause it is not a time of "crisis" for the drinker.

That the little Southeast Asian country should be independent and neutral, not a cause for East-West conflict, is one point on which Kennedy and Khrushchev have agreed since they met in Vienna a year ago.
