swarms scENE When came idea for Barrie daily By KEN WALLS IT WAS EARLY OCTOBER 1946 Manager Wes Allsop had artifical ice in Barrie Arena ready for the second season of its installation Thats only 30 years ago Some newcomers call it Dunlop Arena now but to me its Barrie Arena and thats all Ill ever call it Sure theres Eastview Arena on Grove St East and thats in Barrie too on what was in 1946 lush agricultural land BUT TO GET BACK to the punch line was sitting in Jacksons Grill same place as now on Freddy Grants Place Same manager some young guy then name of Taylor Same cawfee best in town only it was five cents per cup plus all you could get on the saucer Same tired old conversation Same types occupying seats and telling anyone who would listen how they would settle all the pro blems of the world even Barrie Peter Sinclair was the mayor Barrie you know what we had man then He was also chairman of the arena commission roaring Lion and staunch big wheel in the Masonic Order then as now also payed first trombone in Barrie Citizens Band not as now ause Bill Caldwell fits in that chair like what he manufacures George Drew was Premier of Ontario and Mr King was in trance in the Gatineau But all was well in all of this great Canada of ours ALL WAS WELL that is until the invasion by the Buffalo Bisons They stomped into Barrie one day about 40 strong These Buffalonians were professional hocke players They played in the American Hockey League an were the No farm team of Montreal Canadiens Somehow Hap Emms the wily coach of Barrie Fl ers had arranged farm con nection with Buffalo the ea being to get eventually into Montreal through his cawfee connection with Frank Taylor Barries No bilingualist THESE BISONS were not only big tough hockey players they were stickmen or should we say swordsmen and thats how the resent team became know as the Sabres Are you still to lowing me or are you down on the water front looking for the monster Well there was this after noon musing about that government in Ottawa and sipping Franks cawfee whole nickels worth with sugar and cream on the house That was Neolas contribution Then the heard came in The Bisons They settled in seats around the counter surrounding little me afraid the word would get out that was the sports editor of The Barrie Ex aminer among other duties The big pros could use another word for them soon made their presence felt Had just finished their first workout at Barrie Arena and were looking over the town Most of them came from places like Carrot River Moosomin Asquith in Saskatchewan or High River Alberta careful now boy the next Prime Minister is native of that town or New Glasgow on the Northumberland Strait Rich Frasers homeplace ONE BIG CLOWN loudly proclaimed Migawd this an awful hick town hear they only have weekly newspaper Without daring to reveal that serfed for that journal right next door on that day in that year made up my mind that some daythere would be daily newspaper in Barrie when the once hamlet village town became Canadas newest city On certain day in 1958 that came to pass Canadas 100th daily newspaper The Examiner JUST IN PASSING did you know that ExAlderman Charles Franklin Christie who was president of Barrie Flyers Junior Hockey Club in 1946 the year we have been mentioning is now carrying membership card in the Pro gressive Conservative Party of Ontario But hell never
