His mother sits nearby, reading a saga called "'The Choo-Choo That Went, Chug" to an enraptured three-year-old. THE SCENE is a waiting room at Children's Hospital, Alabama's only general hospital for youngsters. Chronologically younger than most of its little occupants, the modern new building is half century old in spirit, And that spirit manifests a community's belief that every child has a right to grow up as healthy and happy as possible. Many a mother who takes her child up the steps of the gleaming brick-and-glass structure owes her own life to its predecessor, the old Children's Hospital on 30th-st, s.

For essentialy children are women's work, and this work is being done well.

It's apparent in the snack bar, where a sociafly-prominent matron grills a hamburger for a medical technologist going off duty; at the switchboard, where the operator has a smile for all comers; in the softly-lighted chapel, a gift of Zonta Club members and numerous individuals. Through the lobby door are offices and, a big. gleaming kitchen. Further on are facilities for children whose parents cannot pay full price for medical care.
