The Pennington Humane Society


The Pennington Humane Society,
the Humane Travelling Agent Com
mittee which has been in active
operation since September 1907. The
recognized Society includes both
citizens and summer residents OF
Maine. The President is Charles A.
Gould Of Pennington. who is widely
known as a friend of animals, and
has been for many years President Of
the Pennington Society. The new
Society will not confine it's activities
to Pennington, or Franklin County.
but will extend them to any part of
the State where its services are re-
quested or seem to be needed. The
Agent is a travelling Agent, and is
employed by the year. One object
of the Society, perhaps it's main OBJ
ject, is to assist the local Humane
Agents who are often placed in an
embarrassing position and encounter
many difficulties which would not be
encountered by an agent coming
from a distance. The society does
not prosecute, except in extreme
cases, but strives to prevent rather
than punish cruelty to animals. All
complaints and applications for the
services of the agent should be ad-
dressed to the president of the So
ciety at Pennington, or to the agent.

at present in Brunswick. and his tel
ephone number is PALM. There 10 no
