TCOP changed the entire en-

Negro manpower participation In
the whole upper midwest.
AS the papers grew and the
debts piled up a young woman
showed up on the scene who
created a semblance of order. She
was De Velma Strong, who later
became De Velma Newman, for 20
years, but who has since divorced
the publisher.
De Velma, set up a bOOlIkeep-
ing system, insisted upon the eS-
tablishment Of a checking ac-
count, record keeping, and
brought order out of chaos. She
was q favorite Of most employees
because she usually took their
part against the sometimes crus-
tineSs and tantrums Of the edi-
tor and publisher.
She left the business for severa.

in 1857 and remaining until July
1861.
The papers have always beer
crusading organs, mixing a stauncl
advocacy Of the rights Of the Ne
groes with insistence that the Ne
gro has to do his part, accept hi
responsibilities also.
In . 20 year period, tho edi-
toriAls Of the two papers have
been widely quoted in both the
weekly and daily press.
Many whites and a few Negroe.
also have always regarded tn
paper as too radical, yet some O.

paper each week.

A big factor in the early edi-
torial of the papers impact was
the late William M. Smith, who
left the Twin City Herald with
Cecil Newman continuing his re-
lationsl1ip as associate editor, the
same post he filled on the Herald.
Smith was an excellent writer who
copyread the young editors mater
ial, often tondng it down.
Among others who went with
Newman was Nell Dodson, who
as Neil DodsOn Russell became
one Of the nations most provaca-
tive and outstanding women
writer's. Neil Russell began writ
ing for Newman while q student
at Central High school.
After leaving the cities she
worked on the Afro American
newspapers where she became the
first female sports writer in the
Negro press. She worked on the
Peoples Voice, in NY. and fol
the Associated Negro Press.
Nell became disillusioned witt
the Negro press returning to Min
