  • Oooh, look, Mr. Hall it's Premier Davis! When William Davis, above, turned up yesterday at the Ontario Government Employees' auction for the Cancer/Heart/Diabetes Campaign, almost as many people recognized him as recognized Miss Penelope and Mr. Hall of lottery-commercial fame. One of the premier's pipes and an autographed poster went for $101. But a date with the Lottario pair (real names, Carol Robinson and Les Rubie) went for $130.
