The previousl holiday record was 748 deaths) during the 1966 Thanksgiving holiday. The National Safety Council considers Thanksgiving a "stay at home" holildlay and made no esti mate of traffic deaths over the period.

The 1967 Thanksgiving traffic toll was 688. Traffia deaths during other holi day periods this year were New Years 376; Memorial Day 629, a record for that holildlay; Indepen dence Day 620, and Labor Day 688, also a record for that holiday.
