While he recognizes that many Scugog residents can- not take time off work to aid those affected by the ice storm, Mr. Callery urges anyone who can spare any- thing to bring it to his Casimir St. office. "They are in desperate need of gasoline, batteries, propane, cash -- pretty much anything will help them out," he said, adding that he will be working with a local service club to arrange the aid. He also said that anyone wishing to come and help is more than welcome. Anyone wishing to make a contribution can call the Ball/Callery Associates office at 985-4028 or can drop items off at 204 Casimir St. at the Van Camp/Keller Building. More than 11,000 Canadian troops have been sent to eastern Ontario and Quebec to help the storm's victims.
