Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's closing remarks, Third Day Afternoon Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1956sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking continuously as presiding officer immediately following Delbert L. Stapley's address (already ingested) through the conference's adjournment, distinguishing it from misOCR'd 'PRESIDENT DAVID O. McKAY' running heads elsewhere in the volume (e.g. leaf 77, purely administrative adjournment/broadcast-schedule announcements, correctly excluded as non-discourse per docs/ingestion.md). De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1956-10 files to seat this as the conference's final talk (ahead of the Church of the Air Broadcast appendix entry), matching the 1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
