By CASEY BUKRO JEFFERSON-Proof that this county may be a budding center of artistic culture will be displayed the art show at the Jefferson County Fair opening to- William Unger, Austrian.born art.expert and teacher who will judge paintings at the fair, said that the works by Jefferson County amateur artists rival those done 6y national professionals.

More than 100 art pieces submitted by about 50 entrants in the od, water color, pastels and black and white classfes will be judged by Unger, who has taught the art class at Fort Atkinson Vocational School for the past four years. No more than two pieces may be submitted for competition by an entrant, but each may display as many as five art works. After surveying works entered in the art competition, Unger said it "could be comparable to a national exhibit. The quality is extraordinary." Remarkable too, he said, waii the concentration of artistic talent in so small an area as Jefferson County. All entrants have won art prizes at one time or another, he said.

More than 90 per cent of these artists are housewives who spend their spare time learning and perfecting painting techniques, the teacher explained. All of them developed an enthusiasm for painting which is evident in their works and accounts for their success. Purpose of the art exhibit, he pointed out, is an experiment to determine reaction by rural people who supposedly don't care for art. "We think they are interested and want it," he said. Another fair Carl Collins, Fort Atkinson, said a small art exhibit, shown in a corner of one building during last year's fair, was enthusiastically accepted by fair-goers.

The enthusiasm shown prompted officials to allocate an entire building, with 14 booths, to house this year's greatly expanded art exhibit. Unger said he knows of no other county fair which offers such an art exhibit and only the State Fair has one as large. However, he added, the State Fair exhibit differs in its preference for modern and abstract art which is difficult to understand and appreciate, and not acceptable to the general public. General type of art In the Jefferson Fair exhibit, Unger said, is French impressionist. "It is a transformation of the object by light, shadows and personality of the artists," he Kjpiained.

Although objects painted by artists are ijecognizable, "tliey use the objects for their own purposes;" he said, depending on the mood they wish to TTiat type of art is understandable and pleasurable to painter and viewer, the art teacher noted. Dabson Hired to Direct Band RICHARD DABSON MILTON-Supt. C. H. Dorr announced Wednesday that Richard Dabson, Janesville, had been appointed band director for- Milton Union High School to succeed Mrs.

Roxa Pritchett, who retired after 15 years here. Gerald Knoepfel, Wauzeka, had been appointed band director earlier in the year but he submitted his resignation to accept an offer by the government to teach in the foreign program. Dabson, 1952 graduate of Janesville High School, is a graduate of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and for the two years has been in the Air Force as a band director for the school at Ft. Bragg, N. C.

He directed a band of 50 pieces there. He was cited for excellence by the commanding officer of Ft. Bragg. Dabcon will take over 'as director of Milton Union's 72-piece class A band and the junior band of 84 pieces. He is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. William Dabson, 1114 Elida Janesville.
