Original Toronto Star caption: Do you know who's who? Toronto Mayor David Crombie is better known in Metro than Ontario Premier William Davis, according to a Toronto Star survey. Crombie could be identified by 87 per cent of those interviewed while only 74 per cent knew who Davis was. Former premier John Robarts, who was recently appointed by Davis as a one-man royal commission to examine the organization of Metro, was recognized by 52 per cent. Only 38 per cent of the sample of 404 people could identify Metro Chairman Paul Godfrey. The four men are pictured above. From left: Crombie, Davis, Robarts and Godfrey.
