THIS is another form Of the old
Welsh name Rhys. Anglicized
Rees. From this name also comes the
name of Price, previously discussed
in this series. Price is the combina-
ton of the Welsh zap" meaning "son
Of" and Rhys-Thomas ap Rhys-
Thomas the son Of Rhys" became
too awkward so zap Rhys" was
shortened to Price. This does not
mean, however, that the Rice and
Price families are necessarily con-
nected by ties Of blood, although there
may have been relationship in that
far-off time when surnames were
first adopted. The meaning Of the
name is ito rush,, flguratively, q
dashing young man.
The coat of arms illustrated was
taken from the seals on two deeds
in the names of John Rice, of Kappa
hammock County, Va, and his wife,
Rebecca. These documents were dated
1887. This is the same coat of arms

It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Parasite," "

THE Greeks made q word for it
= when they wanted to describe a
person who. through flattery or trick
cry, managed to mooch meals from
the unwily wealthy.
This word was parasites. q COM
bination of para, beside" and sitos,
food"
Later, when the Romans sought an
opprobius epithet for one who lived
at another's expense, they borrowed
it from the Greeks in the form Of
parasitus, which subsequently found
its way into the English language in
the form of parasite.
1t was in the original Greek and
Roman sense that Milton used it in
the lines:
Thou, with trembling fear,
Or like fawning parasite, obeyst." I"
Subsequently, the word parasite was
adopted in biology to designate plant
or animal which lives upon another
plant or animal, on to or within which
it has attached itself.

These hard boiled captains of in

Soviet leaders a plan, which, though
not exactly official, so far as this
government is concerned, does tie in
with Washington's latest proposals.
This plan calls for the purchase

dollars worth of railway, automo-
tive. aviation, electrical and heavy
industry equipment, along with GER
tain agricultural products such as
cotton. on fairly long credit terms.
These credits would not be, neces-
sarly and always, directly TO the
Soviet Union. Russia would MAKE
its purchases from American con-
Germs and the American government
would underwrite, say, upward Of 10
per cent of the credit thus extended.
This would be done through the eX-
port-import bank.
This would make certain that
every cent of the Russian credits,
thus guaranteed, is expended eX-
clusively in the United States.

Naueatuck, oct 17.--P. August Johnson, candidate for representa- tive from this borough on the In- dependent Citizens ticket, objects to the old age pension clause in his party ticket, he announced last night at what was called a rally of the party in the borough court , room but was described as a get- together of party candidates later. There were nine persons in the audience with the exception of newspapermen.
 Mir Johnson said that the old age pension stand of his party does not go far enough in his opinion. Under it old age pension would go to dependent persons over SO. MT Johnson would have everybody over 60 whether de- pendent or not, have the right to get the pension, he said. He said he was not aware of the dependts clause whe nthe measure was passed.
 He expressed himself as being for 30-hour work week or even less in factories in order that everybody might get a job. He talked it over with local factory officials and they pointed out to him it might be good, he said, if other factories would do the same. The only thing to do is make all factories agree to this, he de- clared.
 Big salaries to officials are paid by factories. If they can afford to do this, he asserted, they can try out the 30-hour scheme. "Re. member, in 30 hours now you have more production than you could get in so hours . few years ago" He said the people of Nau- gatuck can depend on himself and William Birdsall if they arc elected to the assembly,.
 Neither Alcorn nor Cross nor their political machines are fool ing me or the people," he said. The common people should do d little more thinking for themselves instead of blindly following leaders, he told his audience.
 No Mud Singing
 Joseph Nygren, candidate for congress from the fifth district, told the candidates there must be no mud singing in the campaign on the part of members of his party, called both Ned Goss and J.
