By growing more than 20 tons of tomatoes on one acre, members of the local group became charter "Master Tomato Growers" in Pennsylvania. The awards framed certificates will be presented next Tuesday when Tomato Day is observed at Harrisburg.

Fannie Shreiner, whose farm lies about one-half mile from Bosslers Church. Melvin Wenger served as field manager of the project, and men and women of the Sunday school joined in the field work throughout the season. The high yield is attributed partly to the willingness of workers to turn out when the tomatoes were ready for harvesting. As a result, losses due to rotting on the vines were kept at a minimum.
