Hot Lee Tale Wins Burlington Liars Club Title

Lou Powers of Ortonville Minnesota won the Burlington Liars Club 1958 world championship for a tale about freezing water and a cold night. President C Hulett noted Alaska earned no entries and quipped about large specimens of lies from Texas. Other honorable mentions featured Davis Boone of Marshall Texas and Mel Hart of Waynesburg Pennsylvania with tall tales of rivers and oversized lightning bugs.

Insurance on Autos Going Up in Ohio

Ohio auto insurance premiums rise 10 to 18 percent for liability and under 5 percent for collision with new rates approved by state insurance superintendent Arthur J. Vorys and set to take effect Wednesday. Most firms adopt the rates including Nationwide and State Farm with about 95 percent of insured motorists affected. Geographical areas see broader increases in suburbs and cities, while rural areas face smaller hikes. Example non business rates rise from 34 to 39 dollars in these zones, with Cleveland seeing sharp increases across liability and other coverages.
