REV. AND MRS. ARTHUR VESPA Local Minister, Wile To Retire On Sunday Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Vespa, who have been pastoring First Assembly of God Church, 21 Elder Street, nearly 21 years, have announced their retirement and will have a farewell service Sunday.

Although retiring from full- time church ministry here, they will remain active in other fields of Christian service. Thursday, May 31, they will fly to Ghana, West Africa, via Pan American Airways, to fill a temporary teaching position in the Northern Ghana Bible School where their son, David, is prin- cipal. The Vespas who have four children: a daughter, Mrs. John Briner, who with her husband the Christian Music and Book Store and pastors the La- Vale Chapel; a son, Joseph Vespa, owner of Frederick Street Exxon; a son, Reynold, Easton, and a son, David, a graduate of Fort Hill High School who is serving as a mis- sionary in Ghana. Rev.

Vespa began his ministry In Windber, in the summer of 1925. He pastored and pio- neered the opening of many churches in Pennsylvania and pastored in Central City, for 21 years before coming to Cumberland in August 1952. Since residing here, he has, along with his regular pastoral duties at the church, pioneered the opening of Springfield, W. Assembly of God church. Throughout the of his ministry, Rev.

Mr. Vespa has played an outstanding role in directing at least 12 young men into the ministry and hag at his own time and expense, given practical training and experi ence in the organizing and min- istry of the church to these men. They are serving in all parts of the world as ministers, mission aries, and executives of. church and mission boards. Mrs.

Vespa has taught the Home Makers class in First As sembly for 14 years and made it the largest class in the Sun- day School. After returning from Ghana later this year, they plan to re- side in this area in the vicinity of Short Gap, W. Va. Rev. Mr.

Wilson Criticizes Test Program For Scholarships State Sen. William A. Wilson's feeling that a single test should not determine the award of legislative a i to a worthy student, also is shared by another legislator. Twice during the recent ses- sion of the General Assembly, Sen. Wilson (R-Allegany-Gar- rett) tried to get a bill passed which would have removed the result of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) as a requirement for receiving senatorial scholar- ships.

Twice, the Senate Fin- ance Committee turned him down. Now, State Sen. Verda F. Wel- come says she plans to award seven scholarships despite students' a i to achieve the minimum SAT test score. Voicing the same opinion as Sen.

Wilson, Sen. Welcome said "It seems unreasonable to pre- vent a child from attending col- lege for his failure to achieve an arbitrary set grade in a single test." Sen Wilson said his thinking has been that when he gets a student's grade transcript show- ing he has been a student from seventh through grade, that person is a good prospect for a scholarship. It is not right, he said, to dis qualify him just because he may have "frozen" on a single test. The senator expressed the opi- nion Sen. Welcome's efforts will meet with failure.

Under the law, she.can't do it, he added. Sen. Wilson said applications which were screened here and recommended by him, have been sent to the state scholar- ship board. Announcement of awards from that board for the fall term are awaited, he added. Among the senator's appli- cants were some unable to qualify because of the SAT score but who already had been ac- cepted for enrollment by an ac- credited college.

This also is unfair to the student, Sen. Wil- son said. Again Sen. Welcome agreed, saying if an accredited college has acknowledged that a student meets its entrance criteria, "then there ought not be other standards injected to prevent a good student from receiving the financial help he needs to attend that institution." Later in this year's session after Sen. Wilson's measures had been killed, a resolution co- sponsored by 19 legislators did get committee approval but died in the crush of legislation sub- mitted at the end.
