It could be delayed as many as three days by continuing cold weather, both in Manitoba and over the river's headquarters in North Dakota and Minnesota. City engineer W. D. Hurst said Monday an estimated 60,- 000 sandbags are filled each day at the engineering yards and a work force of 225 men have been building dikes at | various points throughout Win-| nipeg. The bracing of Winni-| peg's 64 miles of primary dike | system is aimed at raising all) of if to 30 feet. As the Red remained frozen at Winnipeg, crews were busy working on dikes in suburban Fort Garry, hard hit by the 1950 flood, and in St, Boniface, on the east side of the Red across from Winnipeg. The city's legal department has been obtaining waivers from property owners along the banks of the Assiniboine and Red rivers to allow the dikes to be raised to an adequate level. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Winnipeg council has set up emergency shelter facilities in suburban Fort Garry to accom- modate "'thousands of people if necessary."' want to The annual campaign began March 10 and wil! continue until Easter this year --Oshawa Times Photo A GOOD SELLING JOB for Easter Seals was done by Lloyd.
