10 Biennial Report of The Eugenics Board of North Carolina Three hundred and nine or 48.2 per cent of the persons sterilized during 1950-52 had no children as compared to 199 or 42.5 per cent and 120 or 41.2 per cent during the two preceding bienniums. The remaining 365 persons were the parents of 1,110 children. This large number of children already born to persons for whom sterilization was essential is evidence of the importance of increased emphasis upon earlier referrals to the Eugenics Board. The number of single persons on whom sterilization operations are performed continues to be in excess of the number of marked persons or those who are widowed, divorced or separated (Table 10 and 10A). There has, however, been a steady increase during the past three bienniums in the number of married persons sterilized. During the past biennium, 53.3 per cent of the operations performed were upon single persons compared to 59.9 per cent and 69.4 per cent, respectively, during the two preceding bienniums. The proportion of all the sterilization operations which were performed upon married persons during the same three periods were 37.8 per cent, 31.1 per cent, and 24 per cent. Twenty-five hearing cases were held before the Board during this biennium, as provided by the Eugenics Law. Written consents for the operations were filed by the patients and/or the next of kin in the remaining 771 cases authorized. The length of time between the date of authorization by the Board and the performance of the operation is shown in Table 13. It is noted that 373 or 53 per cent of the operations were performed in less than 1 month from the date of authorization and 203 or 28.8 per cent were performed in 1 to 2 months from that date.
