service supplying life guards to
hotels and motels, along with
umbrellas and other beach
equipment. He and his aides are
serving on the beach patrol on
volunteer basis, without pay.
The Dare County Board of Com
missioners has made limited
funds available to meet operat-
ing costs of the patrol, including
gas and oil for the jeep.
Hopes to Expand
Horton views the patrol being
set up as only a start on pro-
gram that may be expanded
next year, when he hopes for at
least two beach vehicles, along
with other equipment. With the
present set-up, he says, he can
be anywhere on the beach with
in 10 minutes after getting a
call, by using the highway.
Meanwhile, Horton and his
aides are asking the Red Cross
in Manteo for some needed sup
plies which his almost non-exist-
ent budget will not provide.
"We're just lucky that we
haven't had surf drowning
this SUMNER" he said. "The
beach is more dangerous than
ever before in the seven sum-
mers I've spent here. If the
beach patrol prevents only one
drowning, it will have been en-
tirely worth while"

THREE GENERATIONS
OF VIM. MILLER CLAN
ARE c. g. RETIREES

There is no doubling the fact
that the William B. Miller
family of Avon is a Coast Guard
outfit. When Vernon C. Miller,
officer in charge of the u. S.
Coast Guard Recruiting Service
in Norfolk, Va. retired last
month, he became the third
generation member of his
family to have accomplished the
same feat.
Vernon's grandfather, Will
lam B. Miller of Avon, 81, retir-
ed many years ago after having
served 80 years with the mari
time service. William Miller
served his entire tour of duty
at Kinnakeet Coast Guard Sta
ton and loved the service so
much that he influenced four of
his sons to join; all were honor
ably retired from duty.
William Miller had IL grand
children, nine of whom followed
in their grandfather's footsteps.
The other two? Deserters to the
Air Force.
One of William Miller's sons,
Columbus Miller, eventually be-
came the officer in charge of the
Cape Hatteras Lifeboat Station.
Columbus Miller, 62, retired
from the Coast Guard in 1945.
His retirment came after 25
years of dedicated service to his
country.
Columbus had two sisters,
both of whom married Coast
Guard men. They too retired
after years of faithful work with
the seagoing force.
Although retirements from
the Coast Guard are "old hat"
with the Miller family, Vernon
Miller's office associates made
sure that the 40 year old recruit
ing officer went out with a bang
when he received his honorable
discharge. A banquet was held
in his honor last month, by 25
of his friends and co-workers,
who presented the % year vet
eran with an ice chest, a five
year military sticker, and, his
produdest possession, a pair of
"waders" for his favorite sport
-"surf fishing"
