This Week in Amherstburg News (83 years ago), The Amherstburg Echo carried wartime advertisements encouraging residents to limit unnecessary telephone use during the Second World War. The message warned that long or non-essential calls could interfere with urgent military and industrial communications needed for the war effort.

Featuring the slogan “War Calls Must Come First,” the advertisement urged both adults and children to do their part by keeping calls brief and only using the telephone when necessary.

Campaigns like this reflected how everyday life on the home front was shaped by wartime conservation efforts and public service messaging during the 1940s.

Ad published in The Echo June 10, 1943.
