Dr Hcywood Moore, CSUF professor
of political science, is doing research for a
book of place names in Fresno County.
"Actually, I've been working on it for
about ten years. But I'm thinking of a
deadline of about 18 months," Moore
said.
There are 58 counties in California, of
which Moore said only four are larger
than Fresno County. "The scope is larger
than one would think," Moore said
His research, what he called -detective
work," is inspired by a curiosity about Ihe
town past or present, a river, mountain
peak or distinctive road name. "People
have a general curiosity as to why their
'surroundings are called what they are."
Moore said. "I'm doing serious research
Moore was appointed to the Fresno
County Planning Commission in 1969,
when he began wondering why certain
areas were called by certain names, who
named them, and when. This

Moore teaches a California politics
course which he says is enriched by the
research he is doing. "You cant teach
political science without the history behind
it." He gave as an example the Fort Miller

listened to 110 pianists compete for six
generous cash prizes, concert engagement's
throughout Europe, and numerous piano
The competitors came from all over the
world. Russia sent participants after an
absence of several years. Lorenz said the
cultural and political diversity made the
competition a test of diplomacy and tact.
" Being on the ju ry wat a very interesting
experience. 1 wat in the company of a lot
