WASHINGTON (AP) - The govern-
ment’s barometer of future economic
activity rocketed by a record 4.6 percent in
July, offering strong evidence the
recession may be nearing an end.
Last month’s surge in the Index of
Leading Indicators follows a revised li
percent increase in June, the Commerce
Department said. Before then, the index
had fallen a total of 12.6 percent for eight
straight months beginning last October.
“These latest figures ... show that
Americans should never underestimate
the recuperative capacity of the U 5.
economy," Commerce Secretary Philip
Klutznicksaid.

dicators adds evidence that we may be

The skies darkened Thursday af-

Hopkins County but the rains never
really materialized.
The official observation station in
Sulphur Springs received just a trace
of rain — not even enough to measure
— as brief, widely scattered showers
moved through the area.
Forecasters with the National
Weather Service are calling for the
possiblity of more widely scattered
thunderstorms late Friday and
Saturday, but temperatures are
