Two navy shirts (jumpers) and one
overcoat (pea-coat) befell the lot Of
one Lester Eugene Cooper, poor
boy, who at the tender age of four
teen was making his own way in
this world
The anchors and the initials U. S.
N. on the buttons SO intrigued the
youth that he determined to learn
more about the organization and
the men that wore this strange uni
form. Therein was bred his inter
est in the u. S. navy which five
years later was to take him into her
fold.
Young Cooper, at the age when
most boys are still playing Indian"
had to provide his own food and
clothing, in addition to putting him
self through school, The National
Youth Administration hired him at
5000 per month as janitor for his
local high school which helped a
great deal, but not enough. To
live and cloth himself properly, he
had TO obtain outside employment.

made another attack and went over
the second-wall barrier.
Now the Jewish soldiers were left
with only one stronghold-Herods
Temple. Inside the walls of the
temple, they might stand of large
army.
Titus was afraid to attack at once,
but believed he might starve the
enemy into surrender. Day after
day, he waited. The Jews grew
weak with hunger, but they would
not give in.
At length the Romans moved for
ward their towers and other siege
engines, and placed them near the
mighty walls of the temple grounds.
It looked as though this move would
bring victory, but suddenly there
were earthquakes Of a sort, little
quakes produced by clever men.
The Jews. had made tunnels under
the ground, and had placed pitch,
sulphur and other substances in the
tunnels. As a result there came
explosive fires, and the towers top
pied to the ground.
The Romans spent weeks repair
Ing their siege engines. Then they
moved them forward. and made a
quick attack. This time they were
successful. They passed the walls,
and won their way.
Scenes Of horror followed as the
brave defenders were struck down.
They had wounded Titus, and no
mercy was given to them.
