Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's message on the dangers of cigaret smoking, prepared in advance and read by his son Dr. Edward R. McKay, General Priesthood Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1965a's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this immediately follows McKay's own brief spoken remarks (already ingested as 1965-04-mckay-brethren-of-the-priesthood.md) and precedes Elder Alvin R. Dyer's address (already ingested as 1965-04-dyer-i-am-truly-grateful-my-brethren-to.md). De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order within this session to seat this address second, matching the session/talk_order schema already in use across this conference's other files, and the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1961-10/1962-04/1962-10/1963-04/1963-10/1964-04/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses generally.
