Hillis, 912 Brown St., but maybe that's why Kenny is showing him special attention. His mother raises parakeets and canaries as a hobby, and four-year-old Kenny thinks it's a might fine hobby.

COON BECOMES MONKEYISH FOR PHOTOGRAPHER: This pet raccoon, one of two owned by Augusta and David Plumer, children of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Plumer of 1505 Golden Ave., got himself upside down while the News' photographer was snapping his picture in the rear of the Plumer home.
