A. standards, and the cost is expected to be in the neighbourhood of $40, 000.00. The building style will be con- servative, but modern facil- ities will be incorporated in the structure, thus rendering the work of the local Corps less difficult than has been the case in recent years. Much of the credit for this step forward is due to the ac- tive interest of the Wingham Advisory Board to the Salva- tion Army. This board is chaired by W. T. Cruickshank. Its members include Frank R. Howson, and DeWitt Miller of Wingham, Chas. E. Webster of Lucknow, Frank Mitchell of Brussels, and W. Everett Smyth of Teeswater. It is hoped that a substantial part of the cost of the building will be raised by an " Advance Gift Scheme" which will oper- ate through the winter months. Soldiers of the local Corps have undertaken to give a minimum of ten per cent of the cost of the building. Other funds will be made available as the re- sult of legacies, Red Shield • surpluses from previous years, and substantial grants from Territorial and Divisional Headquarters. Lt. Col. W. F. Ross, Divi- sional Commander for Southern Ontario is expected to visit Wingham during December, at which time, plans for the new Citadel will be finalized. The new building will be erected on the site of the present Cit- adeI on Edward St. A crowd of over 1,000 people, many of them from Wingham gathered at Listowel last Wed- nesday to see the Wingham District High School Mustangs defeat the Listowel squad 10-7, and win the first championship of the newly -formed Huron - Perth Conference. The victory clinched the Mustangs' sixth championship in as many years. They played throughout the season on a win- ning run, with the exception of one tie with Listowel and a 20-6 loss to Mitchell. The local boys countered the Mit- chell loss with a win against the same team in the semi- finals. Coach of the team is tea- cher Bob Campbell, who has guided the Mustangs to no less than seven championships in eight years. Wednesday's game was clinched by Murray Proctor's 24 -yard field goal. Wingham, which had a good share of the play in the first half, got to the Listowel goal - line in the second quarter but was hurled back on five at- tempts to score. But the Mustangs came steam- ing back in the third quarter to score with Doug Campbell scor- ing from seven yards out on a reverse. Proctor's convert at- tempt was wide. Listowel, which had nine first downs to 14 for the win- ners, came to life in the final quarter on the passing arm of quarterback Ed. Hollinger. A long toss by Hollinger to Fred Lusted brought the ball to the Wingham one. Hollinger, after two line plays had failed, finally scored on a quarterback sneak. Lusted, in a turnabout, passed to Hollinger for thecon- vert. Two pass interceptions by cornerbacker Barry Fuller of Wingham helped thwart the Listowel attack.
