Nine mothers of Etna gathered in March of 1944, during IVorld 1Var II to plan some type of after-school recreation for teenagers whose fathers and mothers were working long hours in defense plants. Under the direction of Mrs. Henry Scheibel they organized and solicited the merchants and business men for money to establish a Teen Age Canteen which is still in opera- tion. A table-tennis table was donated and the canteen was in business. In a short time it became self- supporting and it has never been necessary to again solicite merchants for funds. The Etna School Board gave its support and allowed t.he canteen to be held in the Wlilson Street School and the clubs monthly meetings in the high school. The Canteen is open Friday and Saturday evenings from September until May. In 1914 t.he youngsters danced to the music of a julie box and in 1969 they are dancing to records at much less cost. In its 25 years of operation. more than 100.000 young people have enjoyed the Teen-age Canteen. In addition to operation of the Canteen the Mothers Club gives an annual Senior Student Award of 310000, hold cast parties for juniors and seniors, do volunteer work for the Tuberculosis League and help with all fund drives in the borough. Charter members in addition to Mrs. Scheibel are Mrs. Alvin Cronen, Mrs. Charles Fisher, Mrs. Helen Fry, Mrs. William Havens, Mrs. James Overland, Mrs. Joseph Pfeifer, Mrs. Anthony Richert, Mrs. Louis Sigety and Mrs. A. J. Janon. 4,-2. , , .

PINE CREEK SPORTSMEN'S ASSOC. February 6, 1856, twenty-seven sportsmen met at 89 Cherry St. Etna and taking the name 'LVFW 9197 Sportsmenls Associationl' they acted to draw up a con- stitution and by-laws to govern t.heir future as good sportsmen and conservationists. The first election March 1956 placed the following in office: Pres. A. E. Seitz, V. Pres. J. Russell, Treas. D. Good, Secy. E. Hudak and Trustees affiliated with the Allegheny County Sportsmen's League. Movies that appealed to sportsmen were shown after meetings. Pic- ,IQI 1 nics and fishing trips to Erie were joyous events. Family Fishing contests at North Park became an annual affair. The 'Lfame seasoni' saw arrangements for hunting parties. The need for a camp was strong in the formative years. Members pledge financial help and became life members of the club. Oct. 27, 1958 the VFW 9197 Sportsmen's Assoc. changed its name and incorporated as the Pine Creek Sportsmenis Assoc. This was the first step in paving the way to purchase property for a camp. After many fruitless endeavors an eight-room farmhouse and barn on 150 acres of what may well be called a Hsports- men's paradise was purchased in 1959 in Rockland, Pa. Members set about remodeling the house, improv- ing the grounds and planting trees. Lots were leased nearby on the Allegheny River to the delight of the fishermen. 1961 the Assoc. rented the old B Sz O station at Bridge Sz Sycamore St. for their 'fin town headquarters. Advancement was natural with Pres. like R. Seitz, J. Kushon, J. Fitch, Wm. Urso and M. Strathen. With the option to buy, the leased lots of 100 ft. river frontage on the Allegheny were procured and a spacious and comfortable river campl' has been under construction. At present the Assoc. meets every fourth Tuesday of the month at 8 P.M. at the Jockey Club, 1 Isabella St. Etna. The following officers now lead the way: Pres. F. Hawk, V. Pres. Wm. Urso, Treas. A. Isherwood, Secy. C. Anderson and Trustees C. Lindquist, C. Cooper, Thos. Fink. PICTURED: I-Pine Creek Sportsmcn's Assoc. River Camp, 2- Hunting Camp, Rockland, Pa.
