Mary Jane Demmy of
Marietta will have a part in
the Actor’s Company pro-
duction of ‘Our Town’’ at
the Fulton Opera House in
March. James Pritchett will
star in the production.
§88
Shelby Chunko and her
mother Elizabeth, both of
Mount Joy, have a strange
coincidence with their
birthdays.
Both were born on
January 19. That in itself
isn’t too unusual—the odds
of a mother having a child
on her birthday are 1/365.
But the the digits in their
ages reverse every 11
years as well.
Elizabeth was 27 when
she had Shelby. When
Elizabeth was 30, Shelby
was 3. When Elizabeth was
41, Shelby was 14. This
happens every 11 years; 52
and 25 was the last time.
63 and 36 will be the next.
For this paftern to
emerge, a mother must
give birth when her age is
a multiple of 9: 18, 27, 36,
45, or 54. The chance of
this is (about) 1/9.
The chance of Elizabeth
and Shelby’s situation with
birthdays happening is,
roughly, .0003—three times
in ten thousand.
This figure is gotten by
multiplying 1/9 by 1/368.

Marine Private Mark A
Carter, the son of Walter
F. and Margorie A. Carter
of 2nd and Market Streets,
Bainbridge, has reported
for duty with the 2nd
Marine Division at the
Camp Lejeune, NC, Marine
Corps Base.
He joined the Corps in
April of 1978.

The Mount Joy Welcome
Wagon Club will carol in
front of the Union National
Bank on December 21st,

High School, is now

ing the week of December
19th the Princeton Ballet

er at the War Memorial
Theater in Trenton and at
