He was also a correspondent +1962-1977+ at the Burbank Meeting Room.** The Gospel Mission Home of Palolo Valley, Honolulu, Hawaii was founded by William E. Pietsch as a home for "unfortunate women and their children" initially in Kaimuki with one house, which expanded quickly to a second on Eighth Ave., both next to the "Pyramid", then obtained fifteen acres on the Quinn Ranch in Palolo Valley where, according to a 1917 article in the Honolulu Advertiser, he intended "to expand to his heart's content", the move was made on July 3, 1917 with 75 residents, including women and children. It also indicated that it was working in conjunction with the juvenile court, associated charities and the board of health, the latter speculated to utilize it in its combat of TB. The local chamber of commerce had sponsored it with a gift of $5k ($120k in 2023). The original property had a dedication service on July 22, 1917, with a song service and Scripture recitations by the children, a "competitive patriotic song" between the boys and girls for possession of the flag, then a special song by several girls, then another by several boys, then a Chinese song, a Spanish song, an address of welcome by Pietsch, an address by Rev. John P. Erdman who gave a brief history of the home and its purpose, another address by J.L. Hopwood, etc. There were sixty children (and thirteen women) moved to the newer location in 1917, with intention of accommodating forty more children living in the tradewind district. Nationalities numbered nine, with Puerto Ricans predominant. They were also serving 1400 meals per week. Cecil C. Martin was serving as boys' superintendent then, and Miss Neva Young, of Marengo, IA was expected. In 1918, Martin was directing the home during a 3-month leave of absence by Peitsch, and the director of the missions side was C.W. Herron. The largest salary at the home was $50, and the superintendent had no salary, dependent on support. Costs were running $5k/month. It was noted in 1919 as specializing in caring for children unable to be admitted to other institutions as they were relatively free of mental/health issues. The Home was closed in late Sept. 1919, with children transferred to a Salvation Army home.
