Harness Bay of Fundy’s Mighty Tides
to Provide Power for Northeast
^QUODDY. ROADS
L'OK years monster machines,
mighty, turbulent rivers anil
tremendous waterfalls have
worked for man. Now, to his
staff of servants, he intends to
add the sea and the moon.
A mighty blast that might
have been the combined echo of
firecrackers the nation over
rocked the countryside about
Eastport, Me., on July 4. This
signal heralded launching of a
project that had been a dream
for decades — harnessing the
great tides of Fundy, and con-
verting this tremendous water
power into energy for the north-
eastern part of the United
States.
As everyone knows, the
moon's attraction creates tides.
And when these tides are forced
into narrow bays, such as
abound on the scraggly Maine
coast, the tides are apt to be
enormous. Bay of Fundy waters
which daily till and empty
Passamaquoddy and Bobscook
bays, near the Canadian border,
frequently rise' as high as 27
feet Seldom do they rise less
than 16
For years engineers have
tried to iuterest the Canadian
and U. S governments in har-
nessing this vast potential hy-
draulic power. Canada has de-
murred because of possible
damage to its fishing industry,
but in President Roosevelt the
engineers at last found a will-
ing, even eager listener. Sum-
mering on Campobello Islaud in
the Bay of Fundy these past 25
years, the chief executive him-
self had frequently visioned the
same possibilities. And so Uncle
Sam has begun to pour millions
into the Quoddy project.
• * •
'T'HE geueral principle is clear.
Dams are to be constructed
wherever ocean waters can rush
into Bobscook Bay. Bobscook
waters are to be kept at low-
tide levels. The tide starts to
rise in the sea and in the Bay
of Fundy, but the dams will
prevent its usual rush into Bobs-
cook Bay. When the water is
five feet higher outside than in-
side, the dams will be opened,
and water will pour into Bobs-
eook Bay, turning giant tur-
bines.
Power continues to be gen-
erated until the tide recedes to
the poiut where the outside
water agaiD is five feet higher
than that inside. The dams are
closed, until the level of both
waters is even, then opened
again to let both levels drop to
their low-tide point.
Emptying gates will be pro
vided for the outgoing water,
and there will be a lock through
which boat6 may enter Bobscook
Bay.
Note that power may be gen-
erated only during two five-hour
periods each day; while the
tides are rising or falling. To
provide a steady 24-hour supply
of power, surplus energy de-
veloped by the tides will be used
to pump water into a great
reservoir, 130 feet high, situ-
ated 15 miles away near Hay-
cock Harbor. Then, when the
tides are not turning turbines,
this reservoir will be tapped
and its waters, running down-
ward, will take up the power-

creating work until the next tide

/"AXE great objection to the
Quoddy project has been
that Maine would not be able to
furnish sufficient buyers for this
new power. It is believed, how-
ever, the new supply of cheap
power will draw industry to the
northeast. And, incidentally, the
project includes building of an
aluminum and stainless steel
plant that will use up a great
deal of the tidal energy.
Originally engineers contem-
plated a plan affecting both
Passamaquoddy and Bobscook
bays, in which high tides im-
pounded in the former would
empty through turbines into the
latter, and from there into the
Bay of Fundy, thus creating a
constant supply of energy. But
extension of the present pro-
gram must await Canada’s con-
sent, since the border line splits
Passamaquoddy Bay.

BY PHILIP MARTIN
z"'' US FAN bates to see a star
y head toward oblivion. It’s
a pathetic sight, one that brings
not unmanly tears to the eyes
of the most hardened baseball
bug •
Maybe that explains why the
public gets such a boot when
an apparent has-been upsets the
dope pail and performs a come-
back.
Two years ago handsome Ted
Lyons, 35-year-old White Sox
slabman, earned the dubious dis-
tinction of losing the most
games in the American League.
This season, the Chicago right-
hander has turned in more than
three times as many victories as
defeats.
With his wins proving the
garters holding the White Sox
up there in first division. Lyons
is earning bis share of Windy
City cheers.
With a series of victories
Paul Derringer of the Reds has
performed about as complete an
about-face as any “corae-
backer” ever did. Cincinnati’s
Derringer was a pop-gun during
the last two years. He lost so
many games, competing bats-
men began to believe Paul
might possibly be some sort oi
a relative. But those days ap-
parently have gone forever, or
at least, for this season.
Johnny Allen, the Yanks’ $1-
a-year man, should clamor for
a raise. He was signed under
that trick contract because an
arm injury practically ruined
his value to the team in ’34.
Now he’s one of the league's
most consistent winners. In
fact, he may prove one of the
main factors in bringing a pen-
nant to the Gothamites.
Lefty Grove is another burler
whose temporary personal de-
pression seems to he over. And
a couple of batters who are
again enjoying a lion’s share of
fan applause are Bruce Camp-
bell of the Indians and Pete
Fox of the Tigers, both 200-odd
hitters who have zoo^ned well
into the .300 bracket.
