Worms are reputedly a $4 million- a-year industry in Maine, so when 60 worm diggers in Lincoln County went on strike in April for a penny rise in the 4 cents they were getting for each worm, dealers squirmed. But not for long.

On April 22, 1979, a headline in the Long Island Weekly read: ''Mentally Disabled: Issue in Kings Point.'' The same concerns voiced by the Crane Neck Association in your article of June 24, 1984 (''Hostel for Retarded Stirs Row''), i.e. ''safety, property values and a sense of well-being in the community,'' were expressed by some citizens in Kings Point both in that 1979 article and in a public meeting. Kings Point has much in common with Crane Neck. It is one of the most affluent communities in the country and has strict zoning codes.

Though what happens in August is often forgotten by November, Walter F. Mondale last week once again put into jeopardy his effort to portray himself as a strong and decisive leader. Again, the damage came via Bert Lance, whom the former Vice President only a month ago made general chairman of his campaign. The appointment was intended to conciliate Southern party leaders fearful that without a Southerner on the ticket the Democrats would not do well in a region that once automatically went to them. But even there, Mr. Lance, the Carter Administration budget director who had left Washington to defend himself against bank fraud charges (of which he was subsequently acquitted), proved more a source of controversy than conciliation. The fact that the association, never a close working one, was near an end became clear when Mr. Lance was conspicuously absent from last week's kick-off campaign swing through the South. His resignation followed. The incident was not the only reminder of the Democrats' constituency difficulties. In response to rumblings of disaffection from blacks disappointed that they had left the Democratic National Convention last month without a clearly defined campaign role, Mr. Mondale named Representative Charles B. Rangel of Harlem as national co-chairman. Jesse Jackson, meanwhile, said that he would not run as an independent candidate for the Senate in South Carolina, as he had been considering doing, but would continue to press his fight to ''expand'' the Democratic Party through supporting black and ''progressive'' candidates.

In one of the most complicated eviction proceedings in the annals of real estate, Britain agreed last week to terms for turning the keys to Hong Kong over to China when its 99-year lease on the 399- square-mile colony runs out in 1997. Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe said that, assuming the ironing out of a few details and ratification by Parliament, the agreement will ''provide for the preservation of all the rights and freedoms which the people of Hong Kong now enjoy'' until 2047.

A cutoff of discount-priced oil to Central American and Caribbean countries ''that initiate warlike actions'' against their neighbors is a new policy instrument adopted by Mexico and Venezuela.
