(CP) -- A farmers revolt, sparked by fluctuations in the market price of tobacco, forced the closing Friday of two auction centres in the heart of Ontario's to- bacco-growing country, Another auction exchange was shut down because of an anony- mous bomb threat. A. group of farmers marched on the Delhi centre shortly af- ter noon and threatened vioc- lence unless it stopped operat- ing. It closed down as the pro- testing group swelled to 150 per- sons, Board, ordered it closed '"'to prevent any 'possible blood- shed." Earlier in the day, provincial police closed the nearby Aylmer centre after manager Robert Howse received a telephone call that a bomb would explode in the exchange.

SORONTO (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson said Friday Can- ada's growth in strength . and unity requires a strong federal government action in co-opera- tion with other levels of govern- ment. Officially opening the trans- port department's new $42,000,- 000 terminal at Toronto Inter- national Airport, he said it was a fine example of co-operation between federal, provincial and municipal governments. It contrasted to the "bicker-| ing, the conflicts, the fears, the} suspicions of small-minded men which frustrate our progress and would diminish our national destiny," needed to make Canada one strong, cohesive nation. He called for a federal gov- ernment strong enough to dis- charge its obligations to all Ca- nadians and all parts of Can- ada. It would act without fear or favor, and with the fullest co-operation of other levels of government who have their own obligations and also require the means to discharge them. "This makes constructive co- operation essential in the inter- ests and for the benefit of all Canadians."
