Water From - 2,000 Homes

10.500 Homes In Winnipeg Already flooded

By 3.1. ANDERSON

WINNIPEG. May 19 - (CP) - McGilliVrsy Dike tonight was hold- ing .. precarlously. Behind it were 2.000 south Winnipeg homes.

The thin Fort G barrier was the critical point As e Red River flood moved into what the army termed its "battle-of-the-lakes" stage,

Should it break, water from a '10-mile-long, river-formed lake would engulf some zoo -workers' homes in a. comparatively sparse- ly-settied area many blocks in ex- tent.

In danger directly to the north -. ..rotected only by two high rail- way embankment: - are the wealthy. residential districts of River Heights and Crescentwood.

The army termed "serious" the outlook for River Heights - a district of relatively-high ground in low-lying Winnipeg but still three feet below the level of the water behind Mcdiilivray dike.

Almost-equally menacing was the situation in French-speaking st. Boniface and its Nor-wood suburb as army engineers fought to main- taln a precarious balance beirween the levels of "McGilllvrsy Lake" and the overflowing seine River to the northeast. The Seine runs around the eastern side of at. Ben- iface. .

In the over-all flood picture there were only three hopeful notes:

1. The level ad the Red at Winnipeg dropped a little more than a half-indi at 4 p.rn. C. D. T. - from 30.3 feet where it had held for 21 hours to 3025. '

2. No new area in grestar Winnipeg was flooded.

3. The Red south ofthe in- ternational boundary was dear-p. ly down and there was a tiny drop at the flooded Canadian border town of lhnereon.

Elsewhere there was an omin- ous overtone. The weather outlook was "none

There has been almost no loss of 1lfe'ln the floods that have overwhelmed Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba; but more than a hundred thousand people have little left but the clothes on men- carry away with them. Everything they have worked for and most of what they planned for the fumle h5V9 been deltroyed. The people of Prince Edward Island have only to imagine hundreds of square miles of the finest farm- land; and scores of thousands of homes inundated. to realize the Gxtfemlty of the need. The response already has been generous. but the cost of rehabilitating these people will be tremendous and every contribution to the Manitoba Relief Fund goes toward this Flood losses are not generally covered by insurance, and our neceuitous fellow-Canadians will need every dollar we can spare, and more, to set them up once more;

Food Rationing Controls In Britain Are Eased

IQWMN. May 10 - (OP)- Britain's food rationing controls were used today but there was bad news along with the good- less tea will be available after next month.

The economists, making their forecast in the Agricultural De- partment's monthly review of eg- rieultural trends issued today, es- timate that Canada in 1960 will produce 340,000.00!) pounds of but- ter and 125000.000 pounds of cheese.

This estimated increase from shout 330,000,000 pounds of butter and 118,000,000 pounds of cheese produced last year results from a climb of 12 per cent to 17,000,000.- ooo in fluid milk output.

With the export outlook for Can- adian fluid milk poor, the econ- omists believe the increase will go into bigger production of cheese and butter. '
