Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's opening address of the Second Day Afternoon Meeting, on training youth and National Youth Fitness Week) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1959a's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking as the first address of the session, immediately before Elder Marion D. Hanks (already ingested as 1959-04-hanks-with-you-i-rejoice-in-this-forthright.md). This conference ran Saturday-Sunday-Monday, April 4-6, 1959, so 'Second Day' = Sunday Apr 5, confirmed via the report's own dateline running heads. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1959-04 files to seat this address as the first talk of the Second Day Afternoon Meeting, matching the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
