State Institutions Not Seriously Affected By Food Rationing
Iowa board of control inmates totaling about 14 000 across 15 institutions have fared well under rationing despite low sugar allotments.

Rationed items are calculated from December 1942 usage or meals served, with specific per-item factors. most purchases are centralized in Des Moines with funds moved to institutions via deposited points.
