Noel H. Kinch
Noel Kinch , a deep-sea fisherman, was awarded the Stanhope Gold Medal for the bravest deed of 1936. He rescued a drowning shipmate off the coast of Iceland, and had to fight a shark with his right hand for forty minutes while he held the man, whose life he saved, in his left. Men like Kinch are men of action, reluctant to speak of the things they have done, and very often inarticulate in expressing them. F. H. Grise wood will come to the microphone to try to draw him out.

In place of the usual weekly service at this hour from St. Paul's a special Empire Service of Youth will be broadcast from Westminster Abbey, at which the Archbishop of Canterbury will give the address. To this will come the Youth of the Empire from near and far, including 300 students from Canada, representing some 260 schools. Contingents are also coming from British territory in every part of the two hemispheres, while members of the British communities in China, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Irak, Egypt, and the Azores will also be among the congregation. Several of the cathedrals, including Canterbury, York, and Winchester, are hoping to arrange similar services at the same hour, at which the Archbishop's address can be received from Westminster, while many other denominations are also holding similar services in their own cathedrals, churches, or chapels. The Rev. M. E. Aubrey , Moderator of the Federal Council of Evangelical Free Churches, is collaborating on behalf of the Free Churches.
