of the renovation of st. Paul's

a double crew working and so it
might be completed sooner.
Starting Sunday, I understand
the epistle side will be used
and then worshippers will move to
the gospel side, so that services

Claims Commissioner
Served 7 ernosSheriff
Pearl c. Pace Is Veteran Politician;
Based Career on Civic Service
BY IsobeIIe Shelton

The latest of President Eisen-
hower's high level women ap-
pointees, Mrs. Pearl Carter Pace
, of Burkesville, KY, is a black
haired, brown-eyed widow of 81,
with a fortnight manner of
speaking and a wealth of expe-
rience in politics, including a
+. term as sheriff.
Mrs. Pace, who also is Repub-
lican National Committeewoman
for Kentucky, was sworn in
last month as one of the three
members of the War Claims
Commission. The commission is
charged with handling claims of
American victims of enemy coun-
tries during World War II.
In effect. Mrs. Pace replaced
Mrs. Georgia Lusk, former
, Democratic Congresswoman
from New Mexico. who was the
only woman on the three-mem-
. Der commission when all three
members were Democrats. Presi-
dent Eisenhower fired the DEM
ocrats last month and appointed
three Republicans, two men and
Mrs, Pace.
The daughter of Judge James
c. Carter. a Kentucky Circuit
Court judge for SO years, and the
sister of James Carter, jr.. who
is in his second six-year term as
Circuit judge. both active Re-
publicans, Mrs. Pace says she
has been in politics as long as
I can remember"
Her active work as a partisan
did not start until several years
after her marriage in 1917 and
the birth of her three children.
In 1926 she and her husband,
the late Stanley Dan Pace. de-
cided to move from his mothers
farm, where they had lived
since their marriage. to nearby
Burkesville, where their children
could attend better schools.
Mrs. Pace figures that her
political work started at that
time. although she didn't so re-
gard it at the time.
1.-The best political work you
can do in a small town Is to be
active in civic things" she de-
clared. Even that isn't why I
did it. The basis of politics in
any rural area is community
service"
IT had always been interested
in people. and their problems.
she recalls. when I grew up
there wasn't too much of a
career for women in social serv-
ice. I guess if there had been
that's what I would have gone
into. I am happiest when I am
doing some kind of community
service.
'I'll never forget how crushed
] was when one good friend of
the family told me: Pearl, !
have enough to do to support
my own family. I think you
should go home.
When her family moved to
Burkesville she promptly plunged
into civic activities, such as the
PTA. improving the local Ii
brary. helping do over the school
basement as a place to serve
hot lunches to the children

bootlegger or a moonshiner as
a person who was just too hor-
rible. Yet I found some of those
moonShiners were some of the
finest people I ever met in my
life.
People always ask her
whether I ever arrested any,
body as sheriff." she declared.
"As a matter of fact, I usually
let the men do that. But when
had to, I did. just like you do
anything you have to-"
1T reminded me of that old
saying. there's so much good in
the worst of us, and so much
bad in the best of us. it hardly

grown and married now. They
are Stanley Carter Pace, a West

onel stationed at Wright Field,
