need less food than younger stom- achs. Today, for instance, we have around ten million more people older than 45 than we did in 1920; this cuts considerably into the pounds of food eaten by the average per- son.
 In addition, we must blame the women folks, bless 'em. Every since the first World War, they have been striving to have a slender, boyish figure. Most of the fair sex has been working at this, and many of them have succeeded. Dr. Louis J. Dublin recently reported that the average woman is today several pounds lighter than in previous decades, and their dieting must be given credit for part of this,
 That is how electricity and gaso- line, the increasing older folks, and styles in womens figures have low cred food consumption and caused headaches for farmers and food processers. The 100 pounds less food eaten a year does not mean that people are going hungry and unfed, but simply that they are not as hungry as they used to be. A grow ing boy, however, can still eat the family out of house and home.

 When we see some voracious per- son in action at the dinner table, 1t may be difficult to believe that people are eating less today than formerly, but that is exactly what has happened.
 The past year the average per- son consumed somewhere around 100 pounds less food than the aver age person did back in 1900, accord ing to Dr. O. E. Baker of the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 There are three interesting req sons for this, each of which shows how the U. s. has changed in some important ways.

Naugatuck, April 4-John Dunning of 216 May street, resident of Naugatuck all of his life, died suddenly early this morning at the Waterbury hospital. MT. Cunning, who had been an assistant foreman in the footwear plant here for 40 years, was taken seriously ill while at work in the'plant last night, and after treatment by Dr. N. A. Towne, was rushed to the hospital in the community ambulance. He died within two hours. It is believed cerebal hemorrhage was the ause of his death.
 MT. Dunning was born in Nauga- tuck and was well known here. He was very popular and had a pleasant personality and fine character. He was liked by all who worked with him.
 He leaves one sister, Mrs. Patrick J. Connolly, of Naugatuck, and four brothers, Joseph Thomas and Ed ward Cunning, all of Naugatuck, and Charles, of Detroit.
 The funeral will be held Satur- day morning from the Mccarthy funeral home, q Cedar street, to St. Mary's church, where a solemn high mass will be celebrated. Inter- ment will be in St. James cemetery. Tine will be announced later.

Dropped From WPA

With the fiscal year only three days underway singns of increased costs for the borough are seen with the dropping yesterday of 25 WPA workers here. Warden John J.. Sheridan said the number let go yesterday made total of 37 re- leased within a week.
 The men were dropped because of the need to cut down on expenses of the WPA. About 1900 must be dropped from the WPA ranks in the next 10 days. Warden Sheridan said that although 1t was realized here that Naugatuck would suffer as well as other communities, it had not been expected that as many as 25 woudl be ordered removed from the WPA ranks. He said no indications was given as to whether or not further orders to drop more from the WPA may be forthcoming
 This is expected to throw an ad- ditional burden on the welfare de- partment, whih will undoubtedly have to aid families of some of those released.
 It will be interesting to see what effet is may have on the budget to be assigned to the department for the new fiscal year. The welfare board at its March meeting request ed a $70,000 budget and no action has yet been taken on this or on other departmental budget requests by the board of warden and bur- gesses.
 But the action today indicaties that the departments expenses for several months of the fiscal year at least will be heavier.
