Flotilla is, Milford, will conduct
classes beginning Thursday, jan

ford Fire Hall.
The auxiliary is first and fore
most a boat owners organization.
Butt is obvious that you don't
need to own boat to mishandle
one. So the auxiliary extends its
training in small boat handling
through public instruction courses
to all interested persons who can
contribute to the general safety at
sea by becoming wiser sailors.
Instruction in seamanship, pilot

navigation, rules of the road, life
saving and accident prevention is
