Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.

Transfer crust to pie plate. Trim crust even with rim of plate. , For filling, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, tapioca and salt. Add rhubarb and blueberries; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer to crust. Dot with butter., Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in crust.
