The Show Goes On
T IKE troupers of the old school
whose code was, "no matter what
happens, the show must go on,"
Heppner's Rodeo heads proved their
laurels in staging the show just past.
They met the Turtle walk-out and
Queen Cecelia's unfortunate acci
dent with chins up and carried
through successfully. It was a good
show and folks were well enter
tained. Queen Cecelia, too, must be
termed a trouper. She braved a
broken arm to ride in her place on
the big day, evidencing the mettle of
the true western girl, and winning
just acclaim from the throng.
When the going gets difficult, is
when friends are appreciated. All
neighboring districts showed true
friendship last week end. Not only
were many solicitous concerning the
show's welfare, but they came with
helping hands.
Pendleton was gracious in the ex
treme. The attendance of Round-Up
and civic leaders, of the entire
Round-Up queen's court, and of the
Sons of the Legion drum and bugle
corps was a high tribute to Rodeo
and especially helpful. High praise
on every hand was given the youth
ful drummers and buglers and Pen
dleton has the thanks of everyone for
their appearance here.
People came from all over Grant
county and brought many fine horses
with them as another act of neigh
borly kindness, and from Condon
came the city band that was truly
appreciated.
Athena's Finis Kirkpatrick, Long
Creek's Clay Porter and Lena's Ed
win Hughes have the thanks of all
for their fine job of judging arena
events, while John Carter and Tom
Williams of Long Creek are equally
appreciated for their work in timing
and starting races.
It is not yet determined just how
the Rodeo paid out financially. Early
report indicates, however, that a
deficit of any size is unlikely. Pros
pects are bright for another year.
It has been determined that a good
show can be presented with largely
local talent. Especially has it been
determined that work in building
up the parade feature has not been
fruitless.
Interest manifested by the large
crowd present in the city Saturday
is evidence that people like the cele
bration of the old west idea, with
Its free spirit, its neighborliness and
its glamor.
There was increased interest in
the 4-H club fair also, giving cause
for gratification by supporters. Coun
ty officials are to be commended for
their willingness to improve the
show grounds.
All in all, with improvements as
experience dictates, the future is
bright for a bigger and better show.
Patiotism Lacking
TIJORRY from war clouds over Eu
rope may have shrouded Hepp
ner's Rodeo crowd, according to com
plaints reaching the editor's desk.
Considerable comment has been
heard anent the failure of many men
in the crowd to doff hats as Old
Glory passed in the parade, and of
the general lack of enthusiasm which
commentators believed many of the
entries should have engendered in
spectators.
One witness points out that use
of the country's flag to start races is
not in good patriotic taste. A piece
Heppner
of cloth of any bright color might do
just as well.
It was wholesome to note, how
ever, that all people in the grand
stand stood readily when the band
played the Star Spangled Banner
at the opening of each day's show.
Probably in instances of apparent
disrespect to accepted patriotic prac
tices, no such intent was present
Thoughlessness may be the plea en
tered. But, as thoughlessness is not
accepted in court as an excuse for
crime, it would be better if every
one would show deference to Old
Glory and keep it in its proper place.

BUILDING MACHINE SHED
Orville Cutsforth is building a
machine shed on his wheat ranch at
Cutsforth Corners. The structure is
of the hangar type and is the prod
uct of Cutsforth's own designing.
The bow effect of the arches was
accomplished by using green one-
by-four strips spliced together.
There are 14 of the arches set three
feet apart. Sheet iron will be em
ployed as covering. Size of the shed
is 40 x 42 feet with a crown eleva
tion of 20 feet. It is designed to
house the combine without remov
ing the header attachment and will
also accommodate two trucks, two
seeders and possibly another piece
of farm equipment.
Mrs. Albert Bowker was a busi
ness visitor in the city this morn
ing from the farm in the Echo sec
tion. She reported that she and
Mr. Bowker attended the Umatilla
county fair at Hermiston the first
of the week. Attendance was good
and all fair features enjoyable.
