For the first time since the
book of the month club started,
it has selected a book after
publication date. This book is
Alexander P. de Seversky's
Victory Through Air Power. The
club's judges considered this
book so important toward clari-
fying public opinion as to how
the war has to be won that
they decided to distribute it
immediately, along with the
book previously announced,
Franz Werfel's The Song of
Bernadette.
While stressing the belief
that Victory Through Air Pow-
er will revolutionize all our
thinking about the war, the
book of the month club has
sent what might be called a
warning to laymen to all its
members. A special statement
signed by Harry Scherman,
president of the club, and the
board of judges, declares: "In
reading this remarkable book
about the air, keep your feet
on the ground."
William Allen White, one of
the judges, states: "It is advis-
able for laymen to remember
on reading Victory Through
Air Power that on one point,
his advocacy of a separate air
force, Major Seversky's con-
clusions still remain a thesis
in a controversial field. The
crucial theme of this book is
notning less than the winning
or losing of the war, and with
so much at stake, jumping
quickly to conclusions is a
peacetime luxury we cannot now
indulge. At the same time the
central theme seems indisput-
able: that the war cannot be
won unless a total supremacy
in the air is achieved and this
idea itself must achieve total
supremacy in the minds of our
war managers or we shall
never do all that is needed and
all that we can do to bring
the war to a successful con-
clusion for our side."
Seversky was the leading
Russian ace in the first World
War. He was adviser to the
late General Billy Mitchell dur-
ing the General's demonstra-
tion of the ability of aircraft
to sink battleships, and was
appointed consulting engineer
to the War Department as a
consequence. A leading air-
plane designer and long an
exponent of a unified air com-
mand, Seversky pioneered in
high altitude combat tactics;
developed and built the first
turbo-supercharged air-cool en-
gined fighter. He designed the
world's first fully automatic
bombsight. He likewise design-
ed and built the world's fast-
est amphibian plane, the first
low wing basic training plane
for the U. S. Army Air Corps,
and is responsible for the de-

BRUCE LIOYD,
County Treasurer, Wood County, Texas.
DO YOU ALWAYS VOTE?
Only one country in the world—
cur own—gives every individual an
equal voice in running public af-
fairs. That is a privilege and a
right that de-
serves protec-
tion.
Only one
country in the
world—our own
—permits every
voter to kick
publicly about
his officials if
they don't do
KvM things to suit
him. That is the
right of free speech, another thing
that deserves protection.
Yet it is a sad commentary on
our public state of mind that so
many folks say "What's the use of
my voting? They have a slate
.fixed up and my vote doesn't Inake
any difference."
That is the attitude that makes
poor government possible.
Let's take a look at the record
of a large middle-western city. For
generations it had been run by
■professional politicians of & low
type. Municipal affairs were run,
not for the benefit of the city, but
'tor the benefit of the grafters.
Taxes were sky high, and the city
'.never got its money's worth in
service.
One day a little group of leading
citizens got together and said to
•themselves, "Let's stop this 'what's
the use' attitude. Let's do some-
thing about this crooked adminis-
tration. Let's have a city govern-
nent we can be proud of instead
f apologizing for."
That group started things. They
itudicd the facts of the situation,
md gave these politicians pitiless'
publicity. They woke the people up 1
-made them think constructively,
rhey put up honest candidates for
>ffice, and got honest people out to
the polls to vote for them.
In a very short time, that city
aad a model government. Taxes
vere reduced. City administration]
eras improved. The people knew',
exactly what their tax dollars were
feeing spent for. There was no
graft—no cheap political patron-
ige. i
During the depths of the depres-
lioh that city handled its relief j
vork at less cost per capit? than!
iny other large city in the coun-'
try, and handled it better. j
If the goveijnment in your own ;
community—state, county, town or'
township—is not what it should
be, the place to start action to cor-,
rect the trouble is right under your
Dwn hat.
You have at, least two next door
neighbors; talk it over with them.
If they agree with you that some-
thing ought to be done, get a
group together and start action. ,
There are two important facts
to bear in mind. First, nothing at
all will be done unless somebody
starts it. Second, the place to cure
local political sores is at the polls.
The wrong men can never be elect- ]
ed to office, or re-elected, if they
fail to get a sufficient majority in
the voting.
Remember that the smallest po-
litical unit we have is the precinct
or the township. That is where-
you live, where you know nearly j
everybody. The voters in that area;
are easily within reach of your in-(
fluence. And that is the place to
start any kind of reform move-
ment that needs starting. The
key man to begin with is you.
If there is a situation that needs)
to be cleaned up, get tough; talk
about it, and, above all, vote the:
right men into office. That's the

Phillip Van Doren Stern,
whose anthology, The Midnight
Reader, contains fifteen mas-
terpieces in ghost story litera-
ture, says that nothing is more
infuriating to an intelligent
adult than to read a ghost
story that ends with a logical
explanation of its mysteries.
No one wants to be made a
fool of. Sheets and phosphores-
cent paint may serve to fright-
en children, but adults demand
stronger stuff. They would rath-
er believe that the phantom
which made the shudder
came from the very depths of
hell than from someone's box
of manufactured tricks.
