THE GOBLINS WILL WOBBLE TONIGHT: The social season at Barton Hills Country Club will close for the season tonight with a Halloween dance, the Wobblin' Goblin Whirl. Prowling ghosts, goblins, and other spooky creatures will meet at the club from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for cocktails and dinner will be served from 8 to 10 p.m. The Quarternotes will furnish the music for dancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The decorative theme is guaranteed to thrill and chill those attending, according to Mrs. Earl Brown, E. Stadium Blvd. (left), and Mrs. Russell Allen, Arlington Blvd., who are planning the arrangement of the witches, cats, skeletons, bats and jack-o'-lanterns. Members and their guests will be greeted by Mr. and Mrs. William Jewell, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Allen, the social committee, when they arrive.

Funny Face. It's just a pumpkin. But the spooky looking face and Halloween lore are new and intriguing for most children at the Friendship International Nursery School at 1679 Broadway, Ann Arbor. More than half the youngsters there are from foreign lands.

Trick Of Nature? This unusual pumpkin tree has made many a passerby stop and stare in amazement. But never fear. Although nature does pull some occasional tricks, this tree is not one of them. It is man-made and was used as part of the pumpkin festival and open house Sunday at Farmer Grant's Market and Greenhouse, 6393 Jackson Rd. The pumpkin tree will remain at Farmer Grant's through the "pumpkin season."

Today Is Pumpkin Day: And you can sure that many little spooks, ghosts and goblins will be clamoring to your door with that familiar cry "trick or treat." While preparing for their "big night," the children at Eberwhite Elementary School had a pumpkin contest to see who had the pumpkin with the "most character." Lots of pumpkin owners were proud of their characters, especially Mike Fruelich (left), son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Fruelich, Eight St., who is holding his beatnik with the "shades." Marcia Madonik (center), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Madonik, Madison Pl., says she "likes the looks of Mike's pumpkin," and Kathy Jarsma (right), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jarsma, Lutz St., says she doesn't mind sitting next to that pirate. But that's probably because she's thinking about that gypsy costume she's going to wear tonight. Marcia says she is going to "dress up like Jingles" and Mike "just doesn't know yet." Eberwhite School has been having pumpkin contests since 1951. More than 100 children brought their pumpkins to school this year.
