Ohio Man Is
Champion Liar
WII LIAMSPOdT, Ohio Lf> —
T7.-'P-oon hunting put 02-year-old
Walter Lewis on the path toward
becoming the world champion liar.
The Burlington, Wis., Liars Club,
bestower of the annual accolade,
announced Friday that Lewis had
won the t:t!e for 1902. Dick Davis
of the Circleville, Ohio, Herald
traveled seven miles to Lewis’
Williamsport home Saturday to
he: r how it all canv about.
Lewis said a neighbor had en
tered the tale-tollin'; competition
for years. He and the neighbor
often hunted raccoons together, he
said, and got to swapping stories
about the prowess of their hunting
dogs.
Lewis doesn’t just recall when
he started sending in tales to the
Liars Club, but estimates he must
have sent 2a or 29 before suc
ceeding this year. He plans to keep
right on.
| The jovial, grey-haired Lewis has
I a few other things to keep him
i busy besides conjuring stories. He’s
I a building maintenance man at
Lockboume Air Force Base, and
| four of his five children still live
I at home.
His winning story — one of
! two he submitted — was:
i The weather was so dry that
when my canary bird wanted a
drink, I had to pull up the well
and run it through a wringer.”
