' Estoro '
By PETER JACKSON
Told by ROWLEY BROOKE
Here is a story very different from the run of stories heard on the air. In telling ot the imagination of a child it shows the imagination of the man who wrote it. 'Peter Jackson' is the nom de plume of George Ernest Jackson aged forty-two, who joined the Post Office ten years ago and was promptly re-christened 'Peter.' He is now employed in the Cable Room, Central Telegraph Office, which serves most of Europe for telegraph, and houses the famous Rugby Wireless Transmitter, the most powerful station in the world.
Here 'Peter' works, and in his spare time ne cohtributes articles and short stories to the Post Office Service journals; sometimes he sends them farther afield, but they collect rejection slips. But Peter may be comforted by the fact that W.L. George, who sold as readily as most men once he came into his own, confessed that he collected enough rejection slips to paper the walls of his room.
