Women Find Success in Self-
Help of Housekeeping Program
W YORK—What links a
New York supermarket coop
erative, the Alabama Freedom
Quilting Bee Cooperative, a
Connecticut day-care center, a
Louisiana bak y, and a Pitts
burgh caterer" Ml are owned
and operated 1 Mck women
en*-en-, neurs whosv t>ride and
d r ~eniunas >n !iave creaied new
pK terns of living for them
selves and others.
With encouragement and
financial assistance from big
busin-as Government and a
cor,>s of inspired black leaders,
thousands of Negroes, like
these five able women, are
getting their irst chance to
pull themselves out of a vicious
cycle of unemployment and
apathy, according to writer
Rollie Hocbstein in the June
Good Housekeeping.
Mrs. Cora Walker, a divorcee
with a successful law practice,
who was among the first to call
for self-help projects in low in
come urban areas, has devised
one answer to the ghetto's often
inferior shopping facilities: an
efficient, cooperative supermar
ket, staffed by local personnel,
which offers good products at
reasonable prices. Here, Har
lem residents own low cost
shares, have a policy vote, and
take home some of the profits.
With a $50,000 government
grant from the Office of Eco
nomic Opporunity, Mrs. Wal
ker started the Harlem River
Consumers Cooperative. "Sure
I was scared," she admits, "I
knew nothing about the food
business. But I knew enough
to ask questions and to take
good advice.
Major corporations, such as
Supermarkets General Corpora
tion, sent consultants to help,
General Foods executives scout
ed managerial talent, National
Cash Register provided train
ers. The Harlem co-op opened
one year ago this June, with
SIO,OOO from shares sold at five
dollars each. Sales then av
eraged $40,000 a week, and by
this year, 4,000 members had
invested $264,000 in their store.
The project is so successful
that Mrs. Walker has a second
cooperative on her mind. How
ever, she is not too impressed
with her own accomplishments.
"When you decide you don't
want to be poor anymore,
insists, "you find the strength."

tions. Now these same women,
members of the Alabama Free
dom Quilting Bee Cooperative,
are making show-piece quilts
for big city department stores.
With six designer-inspired pat
terns, sewn in cotton and vel
vets, they are turning out
quilts that retail
New York's T ord z Taylor,
St. Louis' Fa mous Barr, and
San Franc s-o's Environmental
Ceramics.
Mrs. Eugene Witherspoon,
nanager of the project, lends
her livin? room-bedroom for
the quiltine parties. Others are
heM in store back rooms, and
in the community church ves
try. A so on-to-be-completed
$20,000 sewing center is the
symbol o' the cooperative's
success.
The Bee's first year netted
$6,000. Last fall it earned that
amount in one month. With
Ford Foundation money came
the first stockpile of fabric,
the first office worker. The
women sew sections together
by machine, but do the quilt
ing and finishing by hand. Each
now earns 75 cents an hour, a
sum which doubles family earn
ings. "In the beginning, the
ladies didn't think too much of
their quilts," says Mrs. Minnie
McMillan, "Now with orders
coming in from all over the
country, they think they're
beautiful."
