JACKIE ROBINSON BOWS OUT

JNoNAA
WHEN JACKIE ROBINSON announced that he was
through with baseball one of the most colorful and signii-
cant careers in the entire world of sports came to a close.
But more, he will remain a legend.
JACKIE ROBINSON went out as he came in : in a
cloud of controversy. 1t was he who was used to break down
the color bar in organized baseball. From the introduction
of professional baseball up to l947, the game was a strictly
segregated one, and for all intents and purposes the cars
of the game and the fans were to keep it that way. But
Branch Hickey had a different idea.
WHAT IS significant is the way Jackie Robinson, and
therefore the Negro was broken into baseball. Branch Ric-
KEY, who at the time was general manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, had a dream. In the Negro league were many ex-
cellent and valuable players : Satchel Paige, Roy Campan-
lila Jackie Robinson and others. If the energies and Skills OF
these could be used the entire world of baseball would be
better off, and Branch Hickey set out to do it.
u BEFORE Robinson could play with the Dodgers
much ground work had to be done. There was special train
ing sessions, public relations meetings and programs, and
Jackie himself had to be coached thoroughly. For example,
he had to learn to withstand the most vicious abuses and
derisiop possible, he must take whatever was said or done
without striking back, and above all he must not lose his
head. In addition to all this, the Negro public had to be
given special training SO that in its enthusiasm it would not
make the road harder for the newcomer.
IS 10 YEARS later, and Jackie Robinson leaves base
ball. He sold his story to LOOK magazine for $4,000, and
the sports writers are furious because they did not first re-
ceive his story. But Jackie has left'basebal, and his place
in history is made and secure. He will no doubt, after the
necessary Swear interval be recommended for the baseball
hall Of fame, and he should make it easily.

sin. Cobscook Bay in Maine as

Both bays open into, and are
part Of, the Bay Of Fundy.
whose tides are the highest in
the world.
Mean tides average Is Oct in
the area where Passamaquoddy
and Cobscook Bays converge
and enter the Bay Of Fundy.
This contrasts with mean
tide. averages ranging from 2 to
912 feet along the Atlantic
Coast of the United States.
Engineers have long dreamed
of Harvesting the enormous en-
ergy created by the more than
4 billion tons of water that
twice daily flow in and out of
Passamaquoddy and Cobscook
Bays.
A typical plan proposed for
Quoddy would locate a power
house on q. peninsula between
both bays and connected to
them.
"Filling" and Complying"
gates would allow water in
Passamaquoddy. the high
pool" to be replenished at high
tide, and water in Cobscook,
the '1ow pool" to be emptied
at low tide.
Twice in rs Hours
The filling and emptying
process would occur twice every
"a hours and. because of the
difference in water levels Of the
two pools, a continuous pro-
duction Of power would be
possible.
The modern concept Of the
Quoddy power project origi-
mated with Dexter P. Cooper, a
hydraulic engineer, in the early
19OOs.
From his summer house on
Campobello Island in the Bay
of Fundy Mr.. Cooper had been
impressed by the enormous
amount of power piling up tides
as high as so feet. He was not
to see this power harnessed in
his lifetime, but he dreamed of
its industrial potential.
During the 1920s Mr.. Cooper
got preliminary charters and
licenses for a two-pool inter-
national project.
But, with the arrival Of the
depression. he was unable to

Stubbornly clinging to his
dream. he modified it to an
all-American two-pool plan,
dividing Cobscook Bay into two
sections so that there could be
continuous generation of power
even though the amount pro-
duced would be far smaller
than the international project
he first hoped for.
Again. he was disappointed
when the Public Works Admin
istration turned down his $44
million proposal on financial
grounds.
Once more, he revised his
plan. reducing it to a one-pool
scheme. combined with a stor-
age reservoir so that continuous
power could be produced. He
planned that this estimated $50
million project would fit later
into an international power de-
velopment.
This time, the project was
actually started. But. two years
later. in 1887. 1t was stalled
again. Begun to put depression
stricken people to work, 1t had
outlived its usefulness and had
never reached the point where
1t could produce power.
Now, Mr.. Cooper's original
power idea is being studied
again--this time with both the
United States and Canada in
the market for cheap power.
The study itself is costing 1913
million and could mean a real
economic boom for New Eng
land and the Canadian mari
time provinces.
Whatever the outcome of the
study, it will probably settle
once and for all Mr.. Cooper's
38-year-old dream and the
question whether power can be
turned to the good Of man
from the turbulent waters Of
the Bay of Fundy.
