I don't actually want to get into the immigration issue but Becky noticed graffiti proclaiming "No illeagles".

At the Y, after a "send a kid to camp" drive, the kids posted thank you signs saying "You are our angles". But these were kids. But there was more than one such sign, so I suppose there was adult supervision.

PS, the subtitle here, Situation hopeless but not serious was an Alec Guinness movie of the 60s. I saw it in a drive-in!. It's a great story about two yanks who get shot down over Germany late in the war. Alec Guinness (as a German!) hides them in his cellar but he is a lonely old guy and never tells them that the war is over.

from a book, so this one had moss on it in the 60s when it was written:

"When the Angles (with the Saxons) invaded Britain, they came at last to The Land Debatable (that is, the North of England and the South of Scotland). The acute Angles went North, and the obtuse Angles went South." -- Anonymous (presumably a Scot).
