Are the exterior rolling shutters very energy efficient and can I stflJ get light in through diem? M. V. Answer If you are interested in saving energy and provid- M security against break-in- s, exterior insulating rolling shutters are one of your best choices. They offer protection against high winds and storms : . and greatly reduce outdoor noise when they are completely closed. They are particularly effective for patio doors and large first-flo- or windows. Insulating rolling shutters can reduce the heat loss or heat .gain through double pane win- dows by about 50 percent. This results from both increased insulation and reduced air leak- - age around your window. In the . summer, blocking the direct and indirect sun's rays can lower cooling costs too. id uun sJit I ri I il UTILITY BILLS eration methods for opening and closing rolling shutters. The simplest method is a hand crank to raise and lower them. Another method is a counter-balance- d strap. The most convenient method is an electric motor control. You use an updown switch mounted on the interior waH near the window. Remote controls, similar to a garage door hand-operate- d, opener, are also available. There are even sensors that, in the event of high winds or excessive heat, automatically lower the shutter when you are gone. You can write to me for UTILITY BILLS UPDATE No. 381 listing toe manufacturers of insulating rolling shutters and detailed information on several efficient types.

For the apartment building and I compared our electric bills, and maximum protection, efficiency, light and sound control, you completely lower and close the shutter. If you want some light and ventilation, you raise the shutter slightly to expose the interlocking flanges. These flanges have many small holes in them. In this slightly-raise- d position, the holes are exposed. There are enough holes to distinguish forms outside the window. For more light and ventilation or when seeking passive solar heating in the winter, you roll up the shutter to any position. When it is completely opened, it is totally out of sight from indoors when looking out.

The action came weeks after toe church leadership investigated allegations by freelance writer Lynn Packer that Dunn's war and sports stories were fabricated. . Despite Dunn's "retirement," his grandfatherly demeanor and down-hom- e, storytelling style continue to make him a popular public speaker and the most prolific author among current and former church leaders. He receives royalties from 23 inspirational cassette tapes and 28 books, many of which contain his exaggerated war and baseball sto" ries. Relying partly on his reputation as a former professional athlete, Dunn also is promoting business, Sports-Valu- es his new Training Centers, which brings professional athletes and teen-ag-e boys together for inspirational workshops. Dunn, who has a doctorate in education, said he doesn't consider it deceitful to exaggerate or alter facts. He said his technique is to "combine" elements of several true stories to create a single story that will better convey a message and capture an audience's interest. In toe case of his false claim to have played for the St. Louis Cardinals, he said youngsters can reteam late better to a major-leagu- e than to the farm teams for which he briefly played. ' "The combining of stories seems justifiable in terms of illustrating a point. My motives are pure and innocent," Dunn told The Republic during an interview attended by his attorney and a friend. "I haven't purposely tried to embellish or rewrite history. I've tried to illustrate points that would create interest," Dunn said. "Combining war stories Is simply putting history in little finer packages." Dunn sf.ld he cooperated with the church's Investigation but was not advised of its conclusions. He denied it was connected to his retirement, which he insisted was for poor health that has since improved. One of Dunn's most dramatic embellished stories, told on a tape titled "War Experiences," is about the combat death of his closest . wartime buddy, Harold Lester Brown. Dunn, who was a private In an anti-tan- k platoon, vividly described how he and Brown were pinned down for the night In separate foxholes on Okinawa. "Unfortunately, one of the (mortar) shells caught a direct hit on the foxhole of my friend ... and I could hear him call out when that hell first hit," Dunn recounted. He aid he listened all night to Brown's moans, while fighting off "two or three banzai attack! and artillery attacks." .

I counted, after his death, 67 shrapnel wounds, some large enough where you could put your whole hand in," Dunn said. Brown's last words, as recounted by Dunn, were: '"I know this is the end. ... If you ever have an opportunity ... to talk to toe young people of America, will you tell them for me that it's a privilege to lay down my life for them?' "And with that testimony on his lips, he died!" The problem with the story, Packer discovered, is that Brown didn't die on Okinawa. Indeed, Brown said from his home in Odessa, Mo., that he was perplexed by Dunn's story. "Maybe he got me mixed up with someone else," Brown speculated, although he noted that he and Dunn have stayed in contact since the war, even visiting occasionally and exchanging Christmas cards. He said Dunn never has mentioned the story. Dunn said he based the story loosely on toe death of another soldier, Phillip Cocroft, who was mortally wounded in a mortar attack that Dunn said he witnessed, although Cocroft didn't survive the night or die in his arms. Military records confirm Cocroft died on Okinawa on May 15, 1945. "I came home many months later, talking to kids in a teaching situation," Dunn said. "All I did was take Harold Brown's relationship (with me) and combine it with Ralph Cocroft's dying." Once he had told the fabricated version, Dunn said, he couldn't change it.

At last word, Rollins said, his son "was OK, and basically he had a good job, considering where he was at." He said his son had been accepted for training in the division's demonstration jump team, but had to put off joining due to his deployment. "He loved to jump," said Rollins, 45, a veteran of toe Army's 9th Infantry Division who served in Vietnam in 1968. "I am very proud He has since acknowledged that only 30 soldiers in his unit died during the entire war, but said the exaggeration is unimportant. "The thing I'm trying to say is that there was a power higher than my own ... a wonderful spiritual force out there," he said. Dunn's baseball stories are as legendary as his war stories. He has written and told audiences that he signed a contract to play for the St. Louis Cardinals after graduating from high school. "I used to play baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. Now it takes a lot of preparation to become a ball player," he wrote in one book, "You & Your World." But the closest Dunn ever came to the big leagues was playing six in several pracweeks tice and exhibition games in 1942 for the Pocatello (Idaho) Cardinals, a St. Louis farm team. He was cut. Baseball records show Dunn signed a professional contract in 1947 with the Ontario Orioles, in big-leag- "off-roste- r" C" Sunset "Class League. But he practiced only a few weeks, played in the first regular game and was released. Most of Dunn's recent books and tapes contain no references to either war or baseball.

Dunn, despite numerous attempts, also was unavailable for comment. Paul Richards, director of BYU Public Communications, told The Daily Herald that Packer allegedly used the article as a lever to keep his job with the university. "This (the story) was a way to parlay it into keeping his job," Richards told The Daily Herald. "They (the administration) said, 'If you're going to intimidate us with this story, then we're not going to keep you.' " "He had the story ready to go with UPI in 1987," Richards said. "Apparently, (Packer) worked something through to get his job guaranteed if he didn't publish it." Packer was advised if he had a story or a criticism, he should take it to the church or Dunn, Richards said. According to an Associated Press report, Gordon Whiting, then chairman of the BYU communications department, had warned Packer in a memo that "publication of the Paul Dunn article will damage the church, will damage the university, will damage toe department and will damage you."

"I not only think it can, but it must" play a role, Reagan said. He condemned the actions of the American Civil Liberties Union in its effort to ban prayer from high school graduations. "I think they're out of their cotton pickin' minds," Reagan said. In response to a question about the federal deficit, Reagan encouraged citizens to pressure their congressional representatives to give toe president power to veto line items. "The president of toe United States can't spend a dime. Only toe congress can spend money," Reagan said, adding every budget he submitted was smaller than that proposed by toe Congress. Reagan reminded students to "stop to think what you're giving to society."

"Packer had lost his job at KSL and we extended it, and we provided insurance so that she should be covered for toe medical problems." "The fact is that we do have a citizenship policy, that if you want to take from the sponsor you should give to toe sponsor," he said. "There's plenty of criticism that could be given to the church from outside toe church, but it's not going to come from this place (BYU) that is sponsored by the church." Richards said it finally came to the point where Packer was asked to leave toe university, "but we feel that BYU was threatened."
