N. Y. Merchants To Learn Russian
GLEN COVE, N. Y. (P) - Some 20 merchants plan to sign up this fall for a new Russian language course added to the adult education program.
The Soviet Union maintains a large estate near here for its United Nations personnel and for years Glen Cove stores have enjoyed a brisk business with them.
"They're good spenders and seem to have plenty of dollars," remarked one store keeper. "But they don't learn English and have to point at things they want. To sell we should sell in their language."
