Morris prepared for this year's floods on the basis of the flC0d5 In 194.8. Prom various sources it de- decided that the Red River woud reach a maximum of two feet over the '43 crest, and the townspeople jacked up their furniture and be- longings to that height. Town is now under seven feet of water, and
in some parts under in feet of water. The value or the homes and
buildings in Morris was set at a1,ooo,ooo. This includes the new school, the new hospital and two new rinks completed since the '43 flood. -
There were many sorrowful stor- ies to come out of Morris. but 3" tell the same table of suffering and proverty. There was the Second Great War veteran who lost his home in the first flood and built another, only to have it washed away in this flood. There were the old pensioners who left with tears streaming down their faces, not knowing if they would ever live to go back home.
Mayor Shewman had a difficult time trying to make the people of Morris leave their homes and belongings. to flee for their lives. He dressed friends of his in Mounted uniforms and used them to order evacuation of the town.
The residents of Morris were brought out by boat and barge to safe ground miles away. and from there they were dispersed to towns and villages in Manitoba, Saskatchewan. and Alberta.

Even now, with the town wiped out, the work of helping farmers goes on: Mayor Shewman and volunteers make their way by boat to Morris every day, search- ing for cattle and horses and arranging to bring in home-made barges to take them to safely. During the piist two weeks there have been 2,000 head of llvesmck rescued. But there was a terrible loss of livestock in places which the rescue teams couldn't reach in time. Mayor Shewman stated that the loss and damage to furniture and personal belongings in Morris would run to 90 per cent. Fcr most people this means abitlute poverty unless help is provided. The peoptc of Morris will receive aid from the Manitoba Flood Re- lief Fund whzh was established In Winnipeg for the express Purpose of helping llocd vlclmg, For the residents of Morris, the Flood Relief Fund provides their
