RECORDS PROVE
 BUSINESS BOOM
Town Clerks Office Regis- ters Gain During
 Past Week

Evidence of a growing increase in business in Waterbury was re- flected during the past week in the office of the town clerk. Daily records for the past week show that warranty deeds, involving the sale of real estate, and bills of sale, iil- volving transactions concerning au- tomobiles, were higher than during other weeks of the current year.
 More than one hundred condi- tional bills of sale were filed with the town clerk, Miss Dora A. Egar1, and 27 warranty deeds were placed on record for the week.
 Town Clerk Egan declared that the current weeks figures demon- strate the fact that business is on the upgrade. All of the condition al bills of sale, having to do with purchases of automobiles, Miss Egan pointed out, show that the mercantile field is growing greater and greater from month to month.
 The fact that the number of war ranty deeds passing through the town clerks office has shown a sudden jump is also considered a good sign by the town clerk.
 The number of deeds of all kinds that passed through the town clerks office during the current year will soon be figured out by auditors. The sudden increase in business during the last few weeks will be, it is expected, one of the outstanding features of the audit ors' report.

After December 18th all local reports and findings, with possible recommendations, will be sent to the state office of the league in Hartford. The state office will then study the final re- suits of the local research groups and, if change is found to be practicable, offer such recommen- dations as are advisable to the legislature when it conyenes for its next session.

Ralph T. Walker, One of America's Leading Archi-
 teCts, Billed for Lecture

Ralph Thomas Walker, one of the leading architects of America to- day, who is a native of Waterbury, will give the third of the series of Ryerson Lectures on Modern Ar- chitecture at Yale on Wednesday, November 1s, according to an an- nouncement by the University. The first two lectures in this series have been given by Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Both have been heard by unusually large audienc- eS.
 Form Follows Function" is the subject of MT. Walkers lecture, which will be given in the Yale Gallery of Fine Arts at AIS p. m. Admission is by ticket, which may be obtained, without charge, at the Yale Gallery on Monday, November Il.
 MT. Walker was a member of the Architectural Institute of Archi- tectural commission of the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1883; Is a Fellow of the American Institute of Arch | itects; is president of it's New York chapter; and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Architecturs.- al League of New York in 1927 for his Barcley-Vesey Telephone build ing in New York. He is contrib utor to all of the leading architec- tural magazines.
 MT. Walker attended Massachu- sets Institute of Technology, where he won the Rotch .Traveling Fellowship in 1916. This is one of the oldest and most distinguished fellowships which students of architecture can win. After leaving M. I. T. he went to Montreal and took the Beaux Arts Institute of Design architectural problems in the Beaver Atelier." On returning to this country he worked for Bertram G. Goodhue, with an in- termiSsion during the war when he served as 8 second lieutenant of engineers. He became a junior partner in the firm of Mckenzie, Voorhees, and Gmelin, and eventu- ally member of the firm of Voorhees,, Gmelin and Walker.

 MT. Walker has contributed largely to the development of the vertical steel buildings, experiment. ing in appropriate and attractive forms for this type of architecture. Part of his architectural creed is summed up in the quotation: 'If you can't take anything off with out hurting the fabric of the de- sign, you have the ideal structure" 1" His lecture in New Haven will take up the implications of the famous statement of Louis Sulli- van Form Follows Function" It will be illustrated with slides.

 "The old saw. "A little knOwl- edge is a dangerous thing has never been more aptly illus trated than by certain public ity which has been bestowed upon stamp collecting and stamp collectors. PhiIately has two general mediums through which it receives publicity-its own publications and the lay press. We can pass by the phil atelic press for the time being. It handles the pastime very truthfully and satisfactorily, all things considered. Stamp collectors seldom have serious fault to find with their own magazines and newspapers, as these periodicals are almost in- variably edited and often pub lished by experienced collectors who are fully aware of the needs and desires of their highly specialized reader pub- lac.
 Unfortunately this is by no means true of the general run of newspapers and magazines catering to the public. The daily newspaper is the worst of- fender, with the popular mag zines a close second. Judging from the various articles and stories in these widely read me- diums, the non-collector would receive highly erroneous inl- pression of stamp collecting.
