people to leave towns villages and farms ravaged by flood waters in southern Manitobas Red River Valley The situation is serious and worsening the premier said in broadcast carried live on radio and TV The evacuation order af fects as many as 10000 valleyarea residents It applies to an area stretching from south of Winnipeg to the US border in strips roughly 10 kilometres on both sides of the floodswollen Red River The directive came after predictions that water levels south of Winnipeg boosted by spring runoff and precipitation could surpass those of the disastrous 1950 flood The main concern was not so much whether dikes would hold the rising waters but for the health and safety of people who would be isolated by the water The city of Winnipeg is expected to be spared major disaster because of floodway but the waters are threatening small towns and rural people Some farms now look more like lakes than land Essential personnel were asked to stay behind in small communities to build up protective dikes Soldiers communications experts and pilots will be available for help if requested NO RAIN FORECAST The weather forecast for the Red River Valley in Manitoba called for occasional cloudy periods today and sunshine Friday Emergency evacuation centres have been set up at Morris Ste Agathe St Jean Baptiste and Emerson on the west bank of the Red River and at St Adolphe and Dominion City onthe east The premiers broadcast followed an ad dress to the legislature in which he said it would be imprudent and risky to allow people to remain behind dikes in isolation with roads cut by flood waters Breakthrough in CF claimed CALGARY tCP University ofalgary research team says it has made major breakthrough in the treatment of cystic fibrosis an incurable
