Mission aren't worried about flooding, |

Dtking officials sald here there
js no cause for alarm about re-~
ports that the rivers, which join

much above normal, They sald
rather that they are happy to see
a high water mark coming this
early,

of a passing ship.

the Fraser from here, the river 2
has risen four feet in the last 24]

hours and oldtimers say {t is at
a “phenomenal” level for the
time of year,

Directly east of Lillooet, at
Kamloops on the Thompson river
the level Is 7.95 feet, three or
four feet .ahove- average and

‘higher than it has been for nine

years at this time.

The Thompson joins the Fraser
at Lytton, 100 miles upriver from
Mission.

But Mission fears no repetition
of the disastrous floods of 1948,
The Fraser at Mission bridge now

{is of.14 feet. The dikes will take

28 feet. At least a 10-foot rise
would, be needed to cause con-
cern, m4

‘Moreover, officials welcome the
early rise. There is an old say-
ing in the district that if the
Fraser at Mission reaches 12 feet
by May: 12 there is nothing to

worry about; it is'a buildup later

that is dangerous. The 12-foot
figure was reached Saturday,

Officials say the runoff start-
ed April 30 and there is 15 per
cent less snow than last year up-
country,

Sums up secretary - treasurer
Ken Neale of the Mission diking
district: “Could be we won't even
get average high water this
