This is the second benefit concert of this type to be held for HOTLINE at Foster Park, said director Betty (Mrs. Robert) Elder, Ventura. Food, prepared by Miss Kitty’s Oxnard Barbecue Kitch- en, will be sold at “low, low prices,” said Mrs. Elder, and will include beef sandwiches, “soul” food and cold drinks. The benefit actually has a two-fold purpose to raise funds for the continuation of the listening-service called HOT- LINE, and to provide Sunday afternoon entertainment for young people who have request ed an “encore” of the first con- cert, said Mrs. Elder. Green, who is author of a book named “Chord Chemis try,” and Mandell will combine their efforts for the concert, Fat Back is a five-member group which has played profes sionally in San Francisco and Monterey, The group has recorded several numbers and is engaged currently at Ox. nard’s King Arthur Cirith Ungol is a three-mem- ber group; Utopia is four musi- cians who have recorded: Up- Start is a six-member group: and five musicians play as Mr. Skin.

HOTLINE is funded partially by the City of Ventura, and by private contribution. In its fifth year of operation, it receives about 250 calls a month from people, young and old, who need someone with whom to discuss their problems. All call- ers and answerers remain anonymous. The telephone numbers are 648-HELP and 643- HELP Foster Park may be reached from the Ventura area by the Ojai Freeway, exiting on the Casitas Vistas offramp. Signs will point the way from there.
