Original Toronto Star caption: Scarborough says goodby to Ab Campbell. East York Mayor True Davidson straightens Albert Campbell's newly acquired fire chief's hat after the former Scarborough mayor was honored by the borough fire department and 700 well-wishers yesterday. Campbell, who became Metro chairman last month, quipped; For years I've been presenting people with honorary fire chief hats-but I had to leave Scarborough before they would give me one.
