Introductions Bureau moves

THE Catholic Introductions Bureau has a new home: with the expiry of the lease of the Ludgate Hill offices, the Bureau after much searching has now moved to 9 Belgrave Road, London, S.W.].
Situated close to the Green Line bus station at Eccleston Bridge, and the Victoria Main and Underground lines, the oftioe is also only a few minutes' walk from Westminster Cathedral.
During the past year, says the Bureau, there has been a great increase in registrations especially in the percentage of university and professional men.
The total number of marriages known to have resulted from introductions through the C.I.B. is nearly 700, and there are still many introductions on the books the results of which have not yet been notified.

of certain villages, especially in Gozo, to Mintoffian invasion. It has provided comic relief in an otherwise bitter struggle, but it is not to be expected that the Mintoffians saw the humour of it. The incident described was the first in Malta, and such bell-ringing has been forbidden by the Archbishop.
I regret that Paul Johnson has missed his opportunity of seeing Malta with a really open mind. Maltese Catholicism has its defects and inadequacies-it would be strange if it had not, in a small isolated community-and as a Catholic he could, from the inside so to speak, have offered fair comment and criticism.
Maltese Catholics are learning rapidly from increased foreign contacts, not all Italian, and the many lay organisations in the Church have never been so active and vigorous.
One question remains-is Mintoff a good democratic socialist, as he has recently begun to call himself? Socialists in Britain, and Catholic members of the Labour Party, would do well to look very closely at Mintoff's record in word and deed, in and out of office, before they decide that he is the champion of progress Who deserves their backing.
