I'VE BEEN GOOD AND I WANT -- More than 2,000 youngsters crowded into Ames theatres Saturday as guests of local merchants and the Chamber or Commerce for a special program for the opening of the 1957 holiday season.  As can be seen, Santa Claus was on hand, and most of the boys and girls took the opportunity to inform him of their wishes.  The little fellow.., however, looks almost as though he had changed his mind.  After Christmas, no doubt, he will feel differently about Santa.
