- Usery continues to discuss the impact of the state hospital's environment on him. He also describes the current treatment of mental hospital patients and prison inmates and the need for improvement in this area. Tangentially, Usery mentions his concern for prompt and sufficient responses to letters received during his tenure as Secretary of Labor. Usery recalls never envying anyone for their possessions or ""blessings"" and describes neighbors and the closeness of the community. Usery recounts cadet life at the Georgia Military College and its influences on his future. Discussed later is Usery's involvement with the National Youth Administration's vocational training school, his skills in welding, and work at Mr. Ennis's store. Usery discusses his marriage in 1942 and his wife's family. The tape ends with a discussion of his parents' responsibilities at home and at work and the method of disseminating news throughout the town.
