FRANK PETR0 RESIGNS
AS Superintendent
OF COUNTY !NFIRMARY

Frank Petro, for the past eight years
in charge of the county infirmary, west
of Centerville, has presented his
resignation to the board of county
commissioners, to become effective at
the end of the fiscal year, March l,
1922 Mr.. Petro will move to his farm
south of Centerville, where he will de-
vote his entire time to raising hogs.
Announcement of Mr.. Petro's inten-
tion to leave his position as manager
of the county institution was not
complete surprise to the county eonl-
missioners, as it was known that he
was contemplating a change, on &C
count of his wife's health. During his
stay on the farm, he has built it up
in many ways, and persons who are
acquainted with his work there are
reluctant to see him leave.
Has made Improvements
Building up of the various improve
ments around the 800 acre farm is not
the only way in which it has been I'M
proved during his stay there, When
he first took over the management in
1914, there was a nondescript herd of
cattle. Today, one of the finest herds
of purebred shorthorns in this part of
| the state may be found there. Twelve
milk cows are kept and five or six fur
nish the milk supply for the institu-
| ton, which houses 81 inmates at
! present.
| Only five head of horses, enough to
| handle the necessary team work about
! the place, are used. Over 300 head OF
| hogs are on the place at the present
time. About so head were sold re-
Gently, and another IT'S head of spring
pigs are being fattened
Two meatless days per week are a
part of the regular program for the
| inmates of the farm. Milk, eggs, and
vegetables are supplied in plentiful
amount by the various divisions of
the farm. however, SO there is no
question of there being plenty to eat
Had Pleasant Relationship
e'We have always got along nicely
out here, and there has been very
little friction during my stay said
Mr.. Pero. in discussing his coming
change, Thursday. Both the county
officials and the people have cooper
ated with me in a very satisfactory
manner"
Members of the board of commis-
sioners and other county officials were
entertained at the county infirmary In

institution was being taken. The of

casion.

all equipment and stock, was taken

his memory and capacity for attention
have declined.
