Directors No Further Shows Here if Heppner Not Interested "If the business men and people of Heppner don't want a rodeo, the Rodeo association most certainty does not want to force a show on them this year or any other time." That was the unanimous expression of members of the association at a meeting held Tuesday, evening for the purpose of calling off the 1944 rodeo. Cancellation was voted after a review of steps taken to put the grounds in shape, contracting for show stock and numerous other items connected with putting on a show. In summing up the objections to staging the show, it was the opin ion of the directors that the most serious factor is that of housing.
