In the shuffle on our editor's desk, the most important iiart of last week's lead item was somehow omitted. ..The item told of the surprise and in¬ dignation of Toronto's Jewish cominunlty when a privately owned skating rink, "The Ice- landla", refused admission to a young Jewish girl because she was Jewish...
