| Description: | The Winnipeg Flood Of 1950 With the rampaging red river rising to new flood crests, this prairie capital is in dire straits, with swollen waters inundating the greater part of the city and thousands fleeing for their lives. Volunteer workers man the dikes but as the flood crest hits the city, fears are raised that Winnipeg is doomed. People filling sandbags. Injured carried out on stretchers. | |
