Doljaid MacKenzie, who runs •
a 15O -acre tarns pn the ;fifth
eonces$ion: _9f• this . township, is
the second' generation of this
family to bold the reeveship •of
Ashfield, Donald's father, ' the
late John A. MacKenzie, was
Ashfield reeve for about five
years during the late 'twenties"
and early "thirties" of this, cen-
tury.
While carrying out a tradition,
establishe•cl by his father, the
present reeve has advanced be-
yond local politics. At the first
meeting in 1967 of Huron
County Council, its members
acclaimed- Donald MacKenzie
Warden of Huron.
It was a tribute to the pop.'
'ular hfield Reeve that. he re-
ceived this important office by
acclamation. Seldom does a•
candidate for the wardenship
acquire this office so easily; as
a rule, two or more county
Councillors aspiring for the':post
must leave the issue with their
fellow councillors. The ° winner
is determined by the democrat-
ic balloting system.
Whether by intention or coin-
cidence, (Donald ' assured the
writer that the latter was the
case) he_ has won the added dis-
tinction of becoming Huron's
Centennial warden. The 'Ceti-
tennial' title bears a . twofold
significance. Primarily, because
Donald serves as warden during
the year in which Canada cele-
brates its 100th • anniversary;
secondly it is a Centennial year
for this county. Huron became
incdrporated as a county in
1867, •the same yearthat the
Fathersbof Confederation passed
the British North America Act.
Donald MacKenzie entered -
municipal , politics almost 14
-years ago. ' It was - da itng--the
1953" Ashfield municipal elec-
tion, that Donald's name first
appeared on' the .ballot slip as
a candidate for councillor. Hav-
ing overcome the "freshman"
hurdle that so many aspirants
for political office fail to clear,
Donaldcontinued to, survive as
an Ashfield councillor for seven
more years. At nomination day,
November, 1961,, he, had acquir-
ed eight years' experience. `in
municipal affairs, serving as
councillor. For Donald. MacKen-
zie, it was the year. to "step up
or out" in his. political career..
A closely -fought balloting.
battle in which he opposed An-.
dy Ritchie, the incumbent reeve,
gave. Donald the victory. Since
then, holding the Reeve's chair
in Ashfield has been relatively
easy. 'Ashfield citizens have ac-
quired the habit of returning
their council to office by accla°
motion. Nor has ariy other coun-
cillor challenged Donald's. claim
to the. reeveship.

presentation to 'Huron's 1967 Warden, Donald MacKenzie.
comes a reeve. As a township
reeve, he is qualified and elig-
ible for appointment to any of
the • several Huron County com-
mittees. While serving his first
term as Ashfield Reeve in 1961-
62, -Donald was appointed to
work on the agriculture and re-
forestation committee and .the legis of whether his efforts up -
wardens and personnel, both for set the balance of a County
a two-year term.•
Serving on two county com-
mittees simultaneously while at
the same time acting as reeve,
would appear to throw 'an. . un-
fair amount of work on one
man. However, the service re-
quired; for the -above -two com-
mittees is not extensive. The
agriculture and reforestation
committee meets. only two or
three times a year. .On these
occasions its members tour var-
ious townships within the_,eoun-
ty. ;They make note. of unpro-
ductive .land, ,unsujted forcrops
or . pasture. Later a.. committee
member .-may : contact the own-
er of the • property. If possible,
this unfertile land: will be
bought for reforestation plots.
Donald • MacKenzie's second
appointment on county council
was to the roads committee, for
a four-year term. "Roads" is by
'far the most important phase
of Huron County's program. Ov-
er half the tax revenue from
Huron's ratepayers is spent for
road development and improve-
ment within the county boun-
daries. Members of this corn-
mittee must assemble monthly
to hear reports from the coun-
ty engineer; on the basis of his
information, committee mem-.
bers' co-ordinate plans for fu-
ture building and expansion of
Huron thoroughfares.
Donald had capably served
three ' years on ."Roads" when
he was called.toaccept the Hur-
on County Wardenship. Duties
of warden are sb numerous that
other county work must be
dropped. Donald ws's obliged to
leave the roads committee be-
fore putting in his final year., '
.Last year when Huron Coun-
ty was host to The Internation-
al Plowing Match at Scott
Farms near Seaforth,, Donald
MacKenzie was a busy man. He
had volunteered service to the
Traffic and Parking Committee
of Huron's branch of the Plow-
men's Association. Members of
this -committee didn't realize
what was in store for them.
The continuous rain of that
late October week 'turned the
grounds into a "sea of mud".
Donald and .other men on this
`work' committee were kept.
going steadily throughout the
duration of the match. 1:'arm
machinery, exhibitors were giv-
en an opportunity to demons-
trate their equipment under
less than ideal working condi-
.tions; their tractors and jeeps
were borrowed by traffic of-
ficials to pull visitors' cars from
the mucky" fields where they
had parked.
Donald and his wife Florence
have raised two children on the
family homestead' where • the
warden was born in August, -
1921. John MacKenzie, 17, is at-
tending Central Huron " Second-
ary School at Clinton. Donna, 16,
is a third year student at Gode-
rich District Collegiate Institute.
The retiring warden, Kenneth
Stewart, presenting Donald with
the badge of office d:ur'ing re-
cent installation ceremonies,
said to his successor: "You will
find this (the wardenship) a
very interesting job,;'
It's possible that the retir-
ing Warden was implying more
than he wished to say publicly
when ho called the warden's Job
"interesting." Stewart might
have also used the word "chal-
lenging" to describe the posi-
tion of Huron County Warden.
Delegates from all the towns,
village and rural municipalities

that each municipality within
