L. B. Carter, retired Jackson police captain, told it to us back during our days on the police beat.

Carter's wife, in 1936, lost her diamond engagement and wedding rings, and all of the searching that followed was without success. Some six years later, in 1943, Captain Carter was getting the soil ready for a Victory Garden, when a sparkle in the dirt caught his eye. It was the wedding ring. About two months later, Carter's brother, told of the incident, walked to the spot pointed out, picked in the dirt for about five minutes and came up with the other missing ring. GENE WIRTH inent Mississippi educator and a former state senator from the 12th Senatorial district, died in the Baptist Hospital early Tuesday morning.

He's been rugged a long time, it would appear from a story about his plebe days at West Point when he used to give passive resistance to the hazing of upper classmen. One day in his freshman year, he and his roommate were ordered by a group of upper classmen to appear in ciress coats on the parade ground. As the two were about to leave their quarters to keep their rendezvous, the roommate noticed that there was something amiss with Cadet Eisenhower's uniform.

He pointed out what as wrong, but the future general only shrugged. A few minutes later, they were standing at attention before the critical upper classmen. It took only a glance for the latter to tell what was incorrect about Ike's uniform. "What is the meaning of this?" angrily demanded the spokesman, pointing at Eisenhowers bare legs, which were draped with only a pair of shorts. "There was nothing said about trousers, sir, stiffly replied Eisenhower, holding back smile with difficulty.
