A statement from A. and T College last week was to the ef fect that the nurse training pro gram could get underway there in September with the regular Fall term. President F. D. Bluford of A. and T. and that he thought the school already had at least 20 applications on file. (Governor Umstead’s order directed that the program be started as soon as 2b persons have qualified to begin the first year of training). It was not learned this week when the program at Winston- Salem would be started. “We’re very pleased with the Governor’s action,’’ Dr. Bluford was quoted as saying this week following the annolincement of A. and T.’s selection. “We will be able to offer a three year course leading to the degree in nursing.” The school at Winston-Salem will also offer a three year train ing course. It is understood that one of the reason’s influencing the com mittee’s selection of A. and T. was the fact that L. Richardson Memorial Hospital in Greens boro is discontinuing its nurse training program. Elizabeth City Teachers Col lege, which earlier requested that a training program for Ne gro nurses be installed there, dropped its request when it real ized that the college did not have access to a Negro hospital and suggested that “there would be some complications in this re- pect.” A spokesman for the commit tee which made the selection for the schools said that none of the considered could adequately car ry oh the proposed program without affiliating with some other hospital in its community than the Negro hospitals. It is believed that A. and T. will associate with L. Richard son Memorial and Cone Mem orial in Greensboro, and that Winston-Salem will have to as sociate with Kate-Bittings and Bowman-Gray.
