Phipps Suggests Sterilization for Errant Wives If Husband To Be Sentenced Hill-boro-. — Husbands whose1' estranged wives continue, to bear illegitimate children While the hus band is behind bars or otherwise dBU&pecfcfd assist from Judge L. J. Phipps ih County Recorders Court h e r e Monday... *■* ' In ^ blast directed at the Wel fare Department and women who continue to bring non^Support cases into court while the women themselves continue to conduct themselves in a questionable man ner, Judge Phipps said he’d re quire the woman’s voluntary sub mission to sterilization before he’d sentence another man m .sminar circumstances. The pronouncement came during a non-support case against Shel ton Blackwood, whose family has been receiving $81 per month from the Welfare Department for their support. Both Mrs. Blackwood and a representative of the,,Welfare Department were prosecuting wit nesses for the State, seeking to :0. ' require Blackwood to support his I children.

Now,, as result of this reversal, wh’ich_ alters several bus routes in the Northern part of the county and would require some 15 fam ilies whose children now come to "Hillsboro to send them to Aycock, the argument has started all over again. The families reportedly say they will not send their chil dren to the Aycock school and _ a Hillsboro FTA committee is on record in bitter Opposition to forc ing a single student no.w attending Hillsboro to attend the rural school. The controversy began last winter when the Board of Educa tion proposed to slice off a sec tion of- the Hillsboro district to enlarge the Aycock district in a .raove to combat the dwindling en rollment of that school and retain it as a third high school to sferve Northern Orange,. The proposal met with bitter opposition from Hillsboro groups i and after two public meetings, the School Board voted only a minor alteration to the districts. Both sides appealed to the State Board of Education and that body rilled that the stat us quo7 should be maintained. This set the stage tor me Juiy 3 action in which Zeb C, Burton ^ proposed and the County Board approved a resolution to thp State iHoard ohiecting to its decision as it applies to elementary schools and recommended: 1 That a Hillsboro School bus not be permitted to go north on Highway 86 beyond the intersec tion of Kennedy’s Mill. 2. That the Efland School bus not be permitted to go north on the Etland-CedarGrove road be yond the intersection at the Fatr fielt Prey i'yieri .. Church. 3.

Accordingly, school principals a n d-cha irman of dlstrict cbm-" mittees this week were’ notified by the county superintendent that the new ruling will necessitate the re-routing of busses on the Walnut Grove-Hurdle Mills road.
