HARRISBURG, Ore., April 19, 1970 (UPI)-When Robin died the day before she was to be entered at a state fair, Edgar Grimes decided personally to take up the battle against roadside litter in Oregon.
The death of his daughter's prize cow from internal bleeding was the last straw in 20 years of dairy farming that saw Grimes lose $50,000 worth of cattle, senselessly. They all died from internal bleeding when they scooped up broken glass along with their feed.
