PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE. (CPI -A giant ice jam which had been backing flood water over Assini- boine river dikes. eight miles east of here. broke Monday, sending floodwaters racing out in new directions over the flat plains.

Dozens of farms were inundated, roads were awash, many head of stock were stranded and running short of feed. two trans"-Canada highway bridges were in danger and one official said the town of Oakville might be flooded.

Oakvllle is a farming commun- ity of 150 persons 12 miles east of here. At 8 p.m. AST. residents said they hoped the break in the ice jam would allow the flood to bypass the town to the north.
